FAQs
How many pads are in a pack?
This pack contains 48 round brown felt pads, each 25mm in diameter.
What types of floors can these pads be used on?
They are suitable for protecting hardwood, laminate, tile, linoleum, and vinyl flooring.
Are these pads difficult to apply?
No, they are very easy to apply. Simply clean the furniture leg, peel off the backing, and press the pad firmly onto the leg.
What is the size of these pads?
Each pad is round and measures 25mm in diameter.
How long do the pads typically last?
With normal use, they can last from 6 to 12 months. Lifespan depends on furniture weight, frequency of movement, and floor surface.
Can I use these on furniture with metal legs?
Yes, as long as the bottom surface of the metal leg is flat and clean, the pads can be applied for floor protection.
What should I do if the pads fall off?
Ensure the furniture leg is clean and dry before re-applying. Press down very firmly for at least 30 seconds. If the issue persists, the surface may not be suitable, or the pads might need replacement.
Troubleshooting
Pads are not sticking well
Ensure the furniture leg surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Press down firmly for a longer duration (e.g., 1 minute). If old adhesive is present, remove it completely.
Pads are peeling off after a short time
Check if the furniture is extremely heavy or if the pads are being subjected to excessive sliding friction. Ensure the correct application pressure was applied. Consider using pads designed for heavier loads if applicable.
Felt is wearing down quickly
This may indicate heavy use or very abrasive flooring. Ensure the pads are fully covering the contact surface. For very high-traffic areas or heavier furniture, consider more robust protection options.
Pads leave a residue when removed
This is uncommon with quality adhesive. If residue is left, try gently removing it with a soft cloth and a mild adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol. Ensure the surface is clean before applying new pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the bottom of each furniture leg is clean, dry, and free from dust, debris, or old adhesive. Wipe with a dry cloth or a lightly damp cloth and allow to fully dry.
- Peel the Backing: Carefully peel the protective backing off one felt pad.
- Apply Firmly: Center the pad on the underside of the furniture leg and press down firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure the adhesive bonds securely.
- Repeat: Repeat for all furniture legs needing protection.
Compatibility:
- Flooring: Suitable for hardwood, laminate, tile, linoleum, and vinyl flooring.
- Furniture: Ideal for chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, lamps, and other items with legs or feet.
- Leg Shape: Best suited for flat-bottomed furniture legs. Can be adapted for slightly curved legs by ensuring the pad makes maximum contact.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid soaking the pads.
- Replacement: Periodically check the pads for wear and tear. Replace them when the felt becomes thin, the adhesive starts to fail, or the pad detaches. This is typically needed every 6-12 months depending on furniture weight and usage.
