Why I like Sticky Tabs

[glenboy]

@brian yea it cleaned out...I forget what spotter I used...if any...I.just remember it cleaned out....and I was happier than a pig in squat

Our techs use them too much and I'm trying to get them use them when necessary and appropriately. They are difficult for our customers to remove. I do agree they work and are very handy.

I remember years ago moving a piece of red cherry wood from dry to wet and the stain came off...on white carpet. Back then I was cleaning with a portable so the carpet was still quite wet. Thankfully the stain just cleaned off! Whew.
sliders work well with the stickies, you can place the furn and with a lift buddy, lift and remove the slider and set it down. The leg never touches the carpet

We bought some Berber carpet back in the early 80's at a doctors home. Cherry wood furniture the tech's side out 2-chairs and made 8 red marks, panicked and side it back without tabbing and made 8-more.

I think we may have been able to remove it now days. Much better spotters now. The doctor was very understanding (we understood clearly) he wanted new and no other option would do.

That reminds me of a time 25 plus years ago working solo that I moved an Cheery stained upright piano, cleaned and then slid it back into place. HUGE red streaks on a yellow plush nylon. I lifted the piano as best I could and stuffed about 100 blocks underneath it. The visible staining I was able to remove but there was no way I was going to get under the piano.

The customer was not in the room at the time and I never said a thing. I assumed that when they took the blocks out we would be replacing their carpet or at least going back with two people and leave the piano on dry carpet while we worked on the stain. They never called...

Never, as in "never again"?

Never, as in "never again"?

I am not sure. It was with a different company and we didn't have any way to track customers.

How do you sleep at night?

The same way you do after your years with Coit.

Some of you might appreciate this. We ez glide virtually everything heavy and sticky tab the lighter stuff. We had these made for us several years ago, it allows you to carry all this in one trip.
This EZ glide holder has 24 EZ Glides (room for more), 4 Corner Guards, several Jam Guards, Lift Buddy, roll of Sticky Tabs, and few Huggers. The Huggers are awesome, we get them from Wanders (Joe Bristor).

Chet what is a Hugger and what does it do?

 

[hogjowl]

Right now, it's acting as our Vice President.

 

[Chet]

Made out of moving blanket material, with a sewn in spring along the top. It helps for door jams, stair posts or anywhere a regular wall buddy (corner guard) wont stay or fit.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Got it.

In fact we have those for when we pack out contents from a fire. They work really well for preventing scratches, especially on the move back.

We use this gadget for door jamb and bannister protection. We actually cut it in 3 pieces--very handy and works great with inner spring that grabs door jamb or whatever:

That's what we have too Steve.

 

[Mark Saiger]

I use them in addition to my Corner Guards sometimes too.

The person who makes them is out of Colorado I believe and a carpet cleaner
