Moving is dirty business--have you thought to protect your floors on moving day? Both the home your are moving out of and the one you are moving into are bound to get dirty, dusty, and scuffed by the traffic of movers, heavy furniture, and appliances. A dropcloth or loose pieces of cardboard laid on the floor can be a safety hazard for movers who might trip. Better options include utilizing rugs, carpets, and rubber mats (tape down the edges with painter's tape to avoid shifting) to create a runway into heavily-trafficked areas. Other ways to protect floors include placing adhesive felt pads to the bottoms of furniture legs. Even with the padding, be careful not to drag furniture across the floor. For carpets, use a clear self-adhesive film such as Carpet Shield to prevent stains and wear.
Moving is dirty business mainly in winter or in rainy day. I have this experience and without any carpet protection it would be a disaster. But I was perfectly prepared buying some floor protection from http://www.pro-tect.com. They have fine carpet protection and the price is nice. In addition it is usable and the protection is waiting for my next moving.
