All it takes is some slip-on furniture pads (also known as chair glides) for the legs of your couches and chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you tend to scoot your chair back when leaving the table, that can wreak havoc on your floors over time. Furniture leg pads can reduce the chances of scratching the floors. It will also help you move heavy furniture around the room without tearing up your hardwood. Furniture pads or slides can be found at any hardware store and are very inexpensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-454316101.jpg\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-454316101.jpg\" alt=\"how to prevent dog scratches on hardwood floors\" class=\"wp-image-3174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-454316101.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-454316101-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-trim-pets-nails\">Trim pets nails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent scratches on hardwood floors from pets, trim their claws. Long nails can do the same damage as a high heel. If pet&#8217;s nails are still causing damage or a concern, we recommend looking at some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/laminate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">high-end laminate flooring<\/a>. The Carpet Guys carry many scratch and dent resistant styles of laminate flooring options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-leave-shoes-at-the-door\">Leave shoes at the door<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of high heels, make sure you and your guests take off their shoes at the door. Debris tracked in with the soles of shoes can also scratch wood floors. Plus, who knows what you&#8217;re bringing into your home on the bottom of your shoes. Also, having a mat at the door will help keep anything brought in from the outside at the entrance of the home. It&#8217;s also a great place to leave shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"775\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-469802614.jpg\" alt=\"how to prevent scratches on hardwood floors\" class=\"wp-image-3175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-469802614.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-469802614-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prevent scratches on hardwood floors easily with these tips.
