Abstract
A removable floor surface is provided with slick, thin strips of nylon for use in moving a heavy household appliance without lifting of the heavy appliance and without damage to a common floor covering such as vinyl or wood, comprising four such strips in two matching pairs: a first pair of temporary strips to facilitate displacement of the appliance away from its normal location and a second pair of removable stationary strips for continued support of an appliance in its usual location. On each temporary strip is provided a removable ramp on a first end to facilitate initial raising of the appliance onto the first pair of strips without lifting.
