I use blocks or tin foil. Wrap it up, make it nice, but always keep it gully when you use pads though.

I get "what are those?" from a lot of my customers; they have never seen tabs or blocks before. I find more of my tabs than of others cleaners.

PadMan put big diapers under all the furniture, and then collects them later, hangs them out to dry and .....the beat goes on and on and on

Stanley is on the money. I would pad all wood regardless of the circumstances and I block all melomine/presswood furniture.Melomine can release its glue and swell at the bottoms when left on wet carpet.

One side note though, Make sure something is plastic and not rubber.

I have seen exercise equipment and office chairs leave marks that were impossible to remove completely when left on wet carpet

Fortunately we don't have to use pads and blocks, don't even have any on the truck. You guys work awfully hard don't you?
