furniture leg protectors


what can i use on the legs of my furniture to protect my floors? there are big dents in the carpet from the coffee table and from my recliner. the kitchen linoleum is getting scratched every time i slide the cutting block and there are wheel marks from the utility cart. we also have to be so careful in the dining room so the chairs and table don't scratch the hardwood.
so many floors need protection. there are a hundred different things at the hardware store but i don't know what one will work. pretty soon my wife will want new floors because these are ruined.
help!

Re: furniture leg protectors


Richard first of all thanks for dropping in. Now for your questions. You have ask two different questions.
1. Indentations in the carpet from chairs and furniture. This is normal because carpet is not rigid. However, if your carpet is properly installed and stretched, the indentations will pull out in time.

2. Scratches on vinyl and hardwood. It sound as if you live in an area with sandy loam soil. If so the track in of the soil is the main culprit for the scratching. To avoid this, increase the vacuuming or sweeping frequency of the vinyl and hardwood. As for the scratching when sliding objects on the floor. The chair pads and butcher block probably have impacted grit on the surface and it is doing the scratching. Chair pads should be checked and cleaned on a regular basis to keep them from acting as sandpaper. If you have the pads made of fibers, I suggest changing them out when they appear to be impacted with grit.

Hope this helps.
