Product Overview
Clear plastic furniture pads in 3 inch, bulk box. They go under furniture legs as furniture is moved back onto freshly cleaned carpet, keeping moisture away from the leg.
Clear plastic, completely moisture proof, dispensed one at a time off the stack so you are not peeling them apart with wet hands.
What Is Actually in the Box
The box is described as 5,000 pads and is made up of 12 blocks of 425 sheets, which comes to 5,100. You get slightly more than the pack size suggests, not less.
Which Pack
| Product | Size | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| AC19D | 3 inch | Box of 1,000 |
| AC19 (this product) | 3 inch | Box of 5,000 |
| AC20A | 4 inch | Box of 1,000 |
| AC20 | 4 inch | Box of 5,000 |
Choose 4 inch for general furniture and 3 inch where the leg or castor is small and a larger pad would show. The 5,000 boxes are the same pads in bulk.
Pads, Blocks or Skidders
| Product | What it does | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic pads (this product) | A thin moisture barrier between a leg and damp carpet | Standard furniture on a cleaned floor — the everyday item |
| High density foam blocks (AC46) | Lifts the leg clear of the carpet | Heavier items, and anywhere airflow under the leg matters for drying |
| Carpet skidders (AC1000) | Lets furniture slide across carpet or hard floor | Moving furniture, not protecting it |
| Sticky tabs (AC8403) | Adhesive tab that stays stuck to the leg | Furniture that gets moved back and forth during the job |
Why It Matters More Than It Looks
Furniture put back onto damp carpet is the most common avoidable damage claim in carpet cleaning. Timber legs wick moisture and lift their finish, metal ferrules rust and mark, and a stained castor leaves a ring that appears days later — long after you have left, and squarely attributed to you.
The barrier costs a few cents. The claim costs a callback, a repair and a customer.

Operating Advice
- Place them as furniture goes back, not before. A pad under a leg on dry carpet does nothing.
- Use them under every leg. It is the one you skipped that marks.
- Leave them in place until the carpet is dry, and tell the customer they can be thrown away then.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same pad as the AC19D?
Yes, the 3 inch pad. This is the bulk box.
3 inch or 4 inch?
4 inch for general furniture. 3 inch where a bigger pad would be visible around a small leg or castor.
Pads or foam blocks?
Pads are the everyday barrier. Foam blocks (AC46) lift the leg clear, which suits heavier items and helps airflow.
What if the furniture has to be moved during the job?
A pad can slide off. Sticky tabs (AC8403) adhere to the leg and stay put.

What We See in the Field
Pads are the cheapest insurance on the truck and the first thing to run out. A bulk box sounds like a lifetime supply until you count four legs per item across a full house.
