Furniture scratches can happen easily from daily use, pets, moving objects, or rough surfaces. With a few simple habits, you can keep your furniture looking new for many years. At ARV Furniture in Mississauga, we always recommend these practical protection tips.

1. Use Felt Pads on Furniture Legs

Attach felt pads under chair, sofa, and table legs.
These small pads reduce friction and prevent scratches on both the furniture base and flooring when items are moved.

2. Always Use Coasters and Placemats

Hot cups, plates, and glasses can leave marks or scratches on wooden, marble, or glass surfaces.
Using coasters and placemats protects dining tables, coffee tables, and nightstands.

3. Avoid Dragging Furniture

When rearranging a room, lift furniture instead of dragging it. Dragging heavy items across the floor can scratch both furniture legs and flooring.

4. Use Protective Covers

For sofas, dining chairs, or beds, protective covers can prevent scratches from pets, sharp objects, or everyday wear.

5. Place Rugs Under Dining Tables

A large rug under dining tables or coffee tables reduces movement damage from chair legs and protects furniture bases.

6. Trim Pet Nails Regularly

Pets can unintentionally scratch wood, leather, or fabric furniture.
Keeping their nails trimmed helps prevent damage.

7. Clean Furniture Carefully

Dust particles can act like sandpaper.
Use soft microfiber cloths and gentle cleaners to avoid micro-scratches on wood or glass surfaces.

8. Use Furniture Polish or Protective Wax

Wood furniture benefits from polish or wax coatings that add a thin protective layer against scratches and daily wear.
