Protect Your Furniture: Tips for Avoiding Scratches When Strapping

Furniture is an investment that we want to protect and keep in top condition for as long as possible. When moving or transporting furniture, one of the biggest concerns is avoiding scratches and damage. Here are some tips to help you protect your furniture when strapping:

1. Choose the Right Straps

When strapping furniture for transport, it’s crucial to use the right type of straps. Look for straps that are sturdy, adjustable, and have soft padding to prevent scratching.

2. Protect the Surfaces

Before strapping, cover the surfaces of your furniture with protective materials. Use blankets, bubble wrap, or foam pads to shield delicate finishes from scratches during transit.

3. Secure loose parts

Remove detachable parts such as drawers, knobs, or legs before strapping. Secure them separately to prevent them from rubbing against the main body of the furniture.

4. Even distribution

When strapping, ensure an even distribution of tension. Uneven pressure can lead to dents or scratches. Pay attention to corners and edges, as they are vulnerable points.

5. Avoid direct contact

Never let the straps come into direct contact with the furniture surface. Place a soft cloth or padding between the strap and the furniture to prevent friction.
