For those of you who clean carpet and those who clean residential and sometimes move out a couch to vacuum under it.
I one time tried to move a very heavy couch. I decided to slide it over to clean the carpet underneath it. When I slid it , I noticed a rip in the carpet. The client had nailed a block of wood to where a leg had broke off. The nail had hung into the carpet. Opps!!!!
We now always lift a couch to move. There is a neat tool called a Lift Buddy that easily lifts a couch up. Then we slide a small disk underneath the leg called an easy glide. Once all the legs have the easy glides under each leg it will slide very easy. Even a heavy couch will. With the Lift Buddy , one person can easily move a couch or recliner by their self. The Buddy Lift cost about $40 and the glides come in different sizes at very low cost.
The Lift Buddy can also be used when putting blocks , foil or plastic under the furniture legs to allow carpet to dry before sitting them on it. This will prevent stain from the moisture in the carpet.
This is a lot cheaper than repairing a carpet or going to doctor with a hurt back.
