Chairs scraping the floor? Check and replace worn felt pads

Felt pads can reduce chair-scraping noise and floor scratches. Clean each attachment point before fitting and replace pads when thin or loose.

IKEA's TRIXIG guidance recommends cleaning the surface before application and replacing pads that have worn thin. Match pad size to chair legs and check for grit that could scratch the floor.

0 / 6 done

Move the chair to a safe work area and check the shape and size of each leg tip. Get help rather than lifting heavy furniture alone.
Inspect old felt for peeling or uneven thinning. Remove adhesive residue only by a method safe for the leg's finish.
Clean dust and grease from the contact surfaces and let them dry completely before applying anything.
Choose a felt pad that covers the contact area, center it and press firmly. Avoid excessive overhang beyond the leg.
Set the chair down and move it gently to check for scraping or shifting. Refit or resize a pad that slides out of place.
Remove grit trapped in pads during routine cleaning and replace any torn or worn-thin pads. Follow the flooring maker's guidance too.
