You can actually move home appliances without damaging or scratching it but for that, you ought to be a little careful\u00a0in handling. \u00a0Lets check how to do it without scratching.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do not Pivot the appliance: <\/strong>One mistake which people often make is pivoting the appliances while trying to displace it. Most people try pivoting which generally leads to floor damage. Additionally, pivoting can cause other major damages to the appliances\u2019 feet and other parts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the floor: <\/strong>It is wise to clean up the floor before relocating appliances. Dirt, dust and stickiness will generate more friction against whichever tool you use to move the appliances, and it will damage the appliances\u2019 feet as well. This results in greater chances of floor damage such as ripping or scratching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use <\/strong><strong>plastic floor guards<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> To move the heavy appliances from one room to another, use plastic floor guards. These works great for short-distance moves of washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and others. You just have to slip the guards underneath the appliance, and make sure every piece of guard is connected with one another which will create a moving path for the machine. Then carefully inch the appliance forward until you reach the desired destination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use dollies: <\/strong>Professional grade-dollies are an excellent tool that can be used when moving \u00a0home appliances. these dollies are actually good and can be used during shifting process of heavy appliances like double door fridge, washing machine etc from one house to another. These dollies are available in many shapes and sizes, and at any home improvement stores.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use handcarts: <\/strong>Handcarts are also available in home improvement stores. It acts as a trolley to transport heavy appliances from one place to the other.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air sled: <\/strong>This is an amazing device that helps in moving appliances very smoothly. This tool is slipped beneath the appliance, and then the air sled is plugged in and filled with air through a pumping mechanism. This technique allows the heavy item to be lifted, and transported with zero risk of scratches on the appliance, and the floor\/wall. These are mostly used in foreign, and also by professional packers and movers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stair-Rolling Device: <\/strong>If you have stairs, you can use a stair-rolling contraption to make your appliance climb up or down the stairs. These devices are very helpful and can even lug something as heavy as a piano up or down a flight of stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Over to you<\/h3>\n<p>Moving your washing machine, ovens, refrigerators, and other large appliances can be a daunting job but, if done carefully and thoughtfully, it will definitely prevent or resist scratches.\u00a0Don\u2019t forget to gather the right tools, and do ask for help from a friend or a family member.
