how to move a refrigerator to clean behind
Hi Chris, thanks for your time. I have a strange question, I need to clean behind my refrigerator. Any tips on how to move it without damaging the floor?
Hey there, it might seem out of my field, but I've worked with some heavy equipment while setting up concert stages! First, you should empty the refrigerator, everything inside adds up to its weight. You might want to secure the doors as well!
Sounds good. And how should I actually move it? Do I need any tools or additional help?
If it's possible, I’d recommend using sliders or a dolly. These protect your floor, and they make it easier to move heavy items. But if you don’t have those, use a thick rug or cardboard. Tilt the fridge carefully onto the material and then slowly push or pull it. Do not rush this process!
I see. How about the angle? Should I pull it straight back?
Oh, not straight back. Usually, it's best to move it out diagonally. This way, you avoid scratching your floor or damaging the refrigerator. Remember to take a break if it feels too heavy, and if it's possible, don't do it alone.
