Appliance coasters?

hotcookie101

Further to my thread on wood flooring, does anyone know if you can get coasters/sliders to go under the feet of freestanding appliances to make it easier to move them/avoid deep scratches from moving them? We have washing machine, dishwasher freezer and cooker. I obviously hope we don't have to move them much, but just to occasionally clean behind etc, or if any problems...
Thanks

My mum used to use 'castor cups' should be available in most DIY stores.

I assume you have a tiled/veneer floor? I have put the felt pads you can get on the bottom of my washing machine and fridge, they move out very easily and very smoothly. The only problem came when my old washing machine had a hissy fit and spat lubricant out the back which soaked into the felt and stopped it moving so easily, but on the whole it means I can move the units by myself to clean the floor, just have to wait for it to dry before I move them back.

You can get them in a few different sizes, this is just an example to show you what to look for
