The Tesa Felt Slider is designed for homeowners and renters looking to protect hard flooring surfaces from scratches and reduce noise caused by moving furniture. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, quiet glide for even heavy items, preventing damage to wood, glass, parquet, laminate, and tiles. A potential caveat is that while the 100 mm x 80 mm size is pre-cut, users may need to cut it to size for smaller furniture legs, which requires care to achieve clean edges.

Troubleshooting
Slider not sticking well
Ensure the furniture leg surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Press down firmly for at least 30 seconds.
Furniture still makes noise
Check if the slider is fully covering the furniture leg base and making even contact with the floor. Ensure the furniture is not unevenly weighted.
Slider came off during use
The adhesive may have failed due to a dirty application surface or excessive weight/friction. Clean the leg and reapply a new slider, ensuring firm pressure.
Slider doesn't allow smooth movement
Verify that the correct side (felt side) is facing the floor. Ensure the slider is cut to size and not catching on any edges of the furniture leg.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Clean the Surface: Ensure the bottom of the furniture leg is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
Cut to Size (if necessary): If the pre-cut 100 mm x 80 mm size is too large, use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut the felt to the required shape and size of the furniture leg. Aim for a clean, straight cut.
Peel and Stick: Remove the protective backing from the adhesive side of the felt slider.
Apply Firmly: Press the felt slider firmly onto the bottom of the furniture leg, ensuring good contact and adhesion. Hold for a few seconds to secure.
Position Furniture: Carefully place the furniture back in its desired location.
Compatibility:
Flooring: Ideal for hard floors including wood, parquet, laminate, tiles, and glass.
Furniture: Suitable for chairs, tables, sofas, cabinets, beds, and other furniture with flat-bottomed legs or bases.
Care:
The felt sliders are designed for single-use application and are not typically cleaned or reused. Once the adhesive loses its grip or the felt wears down, replace the slider.
