Hardwood Floor Care Favorite - NancyProtectz™ Furniture Socks
An important part of hardwood floor care is protecting it from scratches and scuffs left by the legs of furniture. You can get the felt furniture and chair pads we recommend. The right brand and size works great and they are inexpensive.
However, we have discovered creative genius in the form of NancyProtectz™ Furniture Socks. We love them so much -
we've included them in our coveted list of "Favorites" for hardwood floor owners.
Some great features:
- They come in fashionable colors to match your decor.
- They are easy to install and stretch to fit most furniture leg sizes.
- Use them in conjunction with felt furniture pads for double the protection.
- Rubberized grips on the inside provide slip resistance.
- They are machine washable and reusable.
The inventor of NancyProtectz™ furniture socks is a work at home mom who was frustrated at the battle with chair legs scratching her beautiful hardwood floors. She came up with her own creative solution, perfected it, and started manufacturing in 2007. As of the writing of this article (2011), the only national retailer who carries this product is Amazon.com. But there is a strong following in Nancy's native Florida.
Felt furniture pads stick to the bottom of the leg, and as they collect dust, animal hair and dirt - they sometimes lose their adhesion and fall off, unbeknown to the hardwood floor owner.
NancyProtectz™ furniture socks don't typically fall off, but if they do, it is clear to see, before any damage is done.
And about that unsightly dust, pet hair and dirt that felt pads seem to attract and put on display ... it is not easy or convenient to remove. NancyProtectz™ furniture socks don't showcase dust and you can throw them in the washing machine to keep them fresh and clean.
If you already have furniture pads on the legs of your furniture - great! Leave them on and slide a furniture sock right over the top of them for extra protection.
NancyProtectz™ furniture socks work on most leg shapes including square, round, rectangular, oval and bun feet. Furniture Socks are not recommended for really tapered legs.
Hardwood floor care doesn't have to be boring or tedious. We think NancyProtectz™ furniture socks are fun, practical and very effective. Give them a try!
