FAQs
How do I know which size pad to use?
Select pads that are slightly larger than or match the footprint of the furniture leg to ensure full coverage and optimal stability.
Can these pads be used on carpet?
These pads are primarily designed for hard floor surfaces. They may not be effective or suitable for use on carpet.
How long do the pads typically last?
The lifespan of the pads depends on the furniture's weight and how frequently it is moved. With normal use on moderate furniture, they can last for several months to over a year.
Will the brown color show up on light-colored floors?
The brown color is most discreet on darker wood or brown-toned flooring. On very light or white floors, the brown color may be noticeable.
Can I cut the pads to a custom shape?
While possible, cutting the pads may expose internal layers that are less durable or adhesive. It's recommended to use the pads as they are or find a size that fits your needs.
Are these pads reusable after removal?
Once removed from furniture, the adhesive on the pads is typically compromised, making them difficult to reapply effectively. It is best to use new pads if repositioning is required.
Troubleshooting
Pad is not sticking securely
Ensure the furniture leg surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Apply firm, consistent pressure after attaching the pad. For heavier items, consider using additional pads or a stronger adhesive solution if available.
Pad is not reducing movement sufficiently
Check that the pad is centered on the furniture leg and that the furniture is on a level surface. Ensure the pad's surface is clean and free from debris. For extreme movement, ensure all pads are applied correctly and consider the weight distribution of the furniture.
Pad is wearing out quickly
Inspect the furniture for any sharp edges that might be damaging the pad. Ensure the furniture is not excessively heavy for the pad's intended use. Replace worn pads promptly to maintain floor protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the furniture leg and the surface of the pad are clean and dry. Peel off the backing from the adhesive side of the pad. Carefully align the pad with the base of the furniture leg and press firmly to secure it. Repeat for all legs of the furniture item.
Compatibility: These pads are generally compatible with most types of furniture, including chairs, tables, beds, sofas, and appliances. They adhere best to clean, flat surfaces on the furniture's base.
Care: For best results, inspect the pads periodically. If they become dirty, gently wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. If the pads lose their adhesion or become worn, they should be removed and replaced.
