Do you just put square pieces of bacofoil under the legs and ask the client to remove when carpet dry?

Why do you do this? can someone please explain why you need to use the bacofoil?

Just use sticky tabs and poly blocks for larger pieces of furniture.

As Ray says,
Use Stickytabs. after all you  are charging a premium price for your services so why shouldn't you supply a service to match.

Yes as, Jim and Ray above.  I use sticky tabs: They (a). Assist you in 'sliding' the larger pieces of furniture (sofas) about if you don't use 'sliders' and (b). They're hardly noticeable, even when you show the custy that they are there and tell them when to remove them.  I've been back on repeat cleans and found them still in place from my previous visit...

I was always a polystyrene  scrounger any time I saw any I would grab it and break it into small pieces to use as furniture tads, I use to love buying  a big kitchen appliance as it always was packed in a big frame of polystyrene :D

I stopped buying  the sticky tabs as I constantly left the roll  in customers homes, so kept a roll of Bacofoil in the back of the van then ripped of a big sheet and took that in the house ( if I took the roll in I would forget that as well :-\ )
