What You'll Need

• Self-stick felt pads in assorted sizes (about $6): for chairs, small tables, and lightweight pieces.
• Reusable furniture sliders with soft-glide bottoms (about $10): for sofas, dressers, and bookcases.
• Rubber-edged, non-adhesive furniture cups (about $8): for heavy legs that stay put.
• Microfiber cloth and a little rubbing alcohol (about $3): to clean surfaces so pads grip well.
• Soft tape measure or phone ruler (free): to size pads to each leg.

How to Do It

1. Flip each lightweight chair or table upside down on a towel so you can reach the feet.
2. Clean each foot with the cloth and a dab of alcohol, then let it dry for a minute so pads stick well.
3. Press a felt pad onto each foot and hold for 30 seconds. The pads peel off later and the furniture itself keeps no residue.
4. Place non-adhesive rubber cups under heavy legs, like bed frames and bookcases. They simply lift away at move-out.
5. Slide reusable sliders under sofas or dressers by tilting one side up slightly, then lowering it gently.
6. Test by nudging each piece. Reposition or swap pad sizes anywhere it wobbles or drags.
7. Check pads every few months and replace worn ones, since grit trapped in old felt can scratch floors.
