Move a washing machine without damaging the pipes by using polish and string' (Two great DIY tips in one video! ) First top tip; Use a bit of furniture polish to lube the floor area where the washing machine or other heavy appliance usually sits on. Since most washing machines etc have rubberrised feet, and most kitchen floors will be tiled, wood or laminate wood, a small bit of furniture polish will enable one person to slide the unit back home. Don't go mad with it otherwise it might spread and make your floor slippery. Second top tip; If the area behind the washing machine is small and the pipes hoses are long and flop down, instead of ramming the machine back in and running the risk of crimping or trapping a hot or cold hose or even the mains cord, just hold the pipes vertical against the rear of the machine using a long piece of twine or cord looped around and held in your hand as you carefully slide and position the appliance back home. As soon as it's almost there, release one of the string ends and pull out the string thus leaving the pipes and power cable in roughly vertical position at the back and not wedged tight between the floor and the rear feet.
