Are they safe to use on wood floors? I've just had my oak floors refinished and have to move furniture back. I do not want to scratch/damage floors.

Oh, NO, please don't. I wish I had asked others like you do now before I purchased and used them on my wood floor. I have scratches on my floor now. The contact side is hard plastic. So if there is any tiny debris or particles, it leaves scratches. Even it is absolutely clean, the contact is not smooth for moving and causes damage easily. Noop...

No, use hard sliders (Like these) to slide over a soft surface like carpet. Use soft or felt sliders to slide over hard surfaces.

Yes, they are absolutely safe on wood floors. They glide very easily and make moving even the heaviest furniture an easy task.

Generally agree with jt that these should not be used on hardwood floors, which I have. I'm not even going to try it as I'm renting. I'll just say the packaging says "for carpets" and also reads as follows "to prevent scratches on hard floor surfaces, floors should be kept free of dirt and grit. Scratches may occur if dirt or other particles become trapped between the Super slider and floor."

The feet have plastic caps on them. I would say that they are safe to use on hardwood floors.

I use mine on our hardwood floors and it hasn't scratched them yet. I always put it on the setting that your supposed to for them.

I would not use these on hardwood as-is. The feet are pretty hard and would slide/scratch. Perhaps you could find some rubber or felt pads for them.... They are heavy enough that they wouldn't slide with felt.

They seem OK on our floors. They are slippier on hard floors so just be careful the first few times you use them.

I have commented before on the hard floor attachment. I'm not quite clear what the question is. I don't have wood floors. I have some tile and some carpet. I like the attachment for the tile but I don't know if it would scratch wood. My only complaint about it as I have said before, is that it doesn't stay attached to the vacuum tube on my DC 07 if I catch it on a table or chair leg.

I use mine and have for years on hardwood and laminate and also on tie. and they work well. They will clean and shine your hardwood floors and leave the room smelling great. Love love them!!

I know they recommend taking them off when you're done moving. I have ALWAYS left them under ALL of my furniture so I can move them when I want. The worst I have found is there will be dents and sometimes cracks in them but with the cost I just replace them. Mine last years though.

I think that these pads are best used on wood or tile floors. It would be very difficult to slide a chair out on carpet with these pads on. If a piece of furniture was stationary, it wouldn't matter much, but on a chair it would be a problem.

They are plastic, but two separate pieces which makes them move easier. I got a second opinion in my household (we do not have wood floors)the opinion is, it will not scratch your floors.

It doesn't affect wood floors at all. It's kinds hard to use on wood floors if they are slippery but it won't damage them.

Donna - I am SO impressed by this cleaner! I use it on my (not plush)oriental rugs that are laid over hardwood floors and there has been no damage! My wood floors are about 60yo and not sealed and they would be more prone to damage than your newer floors, so you should be safe. There is a newer model where the canister removes for stairs if that is a feature that might be of value to you. Tena

Just to be clear. It is okay to use on hardwood floors? These are not laminate but they are finished.

I've used it on my hardwood floors and I didn't have a problem but I think it might depend on what kind of hardwood you have or whether you actually have laminate (and how hard/soft the wood is). I used it on Bamboo and solid Oak and there weren't any problems.

I can't say for wood flooring but I used these on a cart I built for my bathroom which has laminate flooring and they work great and don't leave any marks on that. Hope this helps some!

Yes, I have using for a while now and have not seen any scratches on my hardwood floors. Good product.

I wouldn't put them on wood floors. If you do, you need some kind of protection. That is what my husband just said. Mine are on tile in the kitchen.
