FAQs

How do I apply the felt pads?

Clean and dry the furniture leg, peel off the backing, and press the pad firmly onto the leg.

Can these pads be reused after removing them?

No, the adhesive is designed for a single application. Reapplication will result in weak adhesion.

What types of floors are these pads suitable for?

They are suitable for hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, linoleum, and can also provide protection on carpets.

How long do the felt pads typically last?

Longevity depends on the weight of the furniture and the frequency of movement. They generally last a significant time under normal household use but should be replaced when worn.

Can I cut the pads to fit odd-shaped furniture legs?

Yes, the pads can be easily cut with sharp scissors or a utility knife to fit various shapes and sizes.

Will the beige colour be noticeable on my furniture?

The beige colour is designed to be neutral and blend in with many furniture leg colours, making it less conspicuous than darker options.

What should I do if the pad falls off?

Ensure the furniture leg surface was clean and dry during application. Reapply with firm pressure. If the issue persists, the adhesive may be compromised, and the pad should be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Pad not sticking securely

Ensure the furniture leg is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Reapply pressure firmly. If the surface is uneven, try cutting the pad to better match the leg's contour.

Pad wears out quickly

Check if the furniture is subjected to excessive weight or constant movement beyond typical use. Consider using a thicker or denser felt pad if available for extremely heavy items. Replace worn pads promptly.

Difficulty cutting the pad to shape

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife for clean cuts. For thicker pads, a craft knife may be more effective. Measure and mark the desired shape before cutting.

Residue left on furniture leg after removal

Gently scrape off excess residue with a plastic scraper. For stubborn residue, a small amount of adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol applied to a cloth (not directly to the furniture) can help, followed by cleaning with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects various floor types (wood, laminate, tile) from scratches.
  • Reduces noise when moving furniture.
  • Easy to cut to size for a custom fit.
  • Adhesive holds the pad securely in place.
  • Discreet beige colour is less noticeable than black pads.

Cons

  • May require replacement over time with heavy use.
  • Adhesion can be compromised on dusty or uneven surfaces.
  • Not suitable for extremely heavy, continuously moving objects.
  • Can potentially leave residue if removed carelessly.
  • Requires manual application to each furniture leg.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bottom of the furniture leg is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
  2. Cut the felt pad to the desired shape and size if necessary.
  3. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side of the pad.
  4. Firmly press the adhesive side onto the furniture leg, ensuring full contact.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on the legs of most furniture types, including chairs, tables, sofas, beds, and cabinets.
  • Compatible with various floor surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, tile, vinyl, and linoleum.
  • Can be used on carpets to reduce friction and wear, though its primary benefit is for hard surfaces.

Care:

  • These pads are designed for single application. For best results, replace when the felt becomes worn or the adhesive weakens.
  • Do not use water or cleaning solvents on the pads, as this can degrade the adhesive and felt.
  • Periodically check the adhesion of the pads, especially for frequently moved or heavy furniture.
