Full details
These Diall brown plastic castor cups are designed for anyone looking to prevent damage to their floors caused by furniture. The key benefit is protecting surfaces from scrapes and scratches, especially from chairs with wheels. A potential caveat is their specific use for wheeled furniture, making them less suitable for static furniture legs.

FAQs
What type of floors can these leg protectors be used on?
They are suitable for a wide range of hard flooring surfaces including wood, laminate, tile, vinyl, and linoleum. They help prevent scratches on these materials.
Are these suitable for furniture with fixed legs, not wheels?
No, these castor cups are specifically designed for furniture with wheels (castors) to protect floors from them.
How do I clean the castor cups?
You can clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure they are dry before placing them back under the furniture.
What is the material of these leg protectors?
They are made from durable plastic.
Will the brown color show on my floor?
The brown color is designed to be neutral. It should blend reasonably well with most floor types and furniture, but it is visible.
Can these be used outdoors?
These are primarily designed for indoor use to protect flooring. Outdoor use may expose them to elements that could degrade the plastic or reduce their effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Castor cup is not staying in place
Ensure the floor is clean and dry. For added stability on very smooth surfaces, consider using a small amount of double-sided tape under the cup, ensuring it doesn't impede floor contact.
Chair feels unstable on the cups
Verify that all castors are properly seated within their respective cups and that the cups are on a level surface. Check for any damage to the cups or castors.
Scratches still appearing on the floor
Check that the castor wheels are fully contained within the cups and are not rubbing against the floor. Ensure the correct size of cup is being used for the castor.
