How to Make a Recliner Easy to Slide on Carpet

A recliner is a common piece of living room furniture. Many homes have one, and some homes have more than one. In some homes the recliner is placed in a location and is never moved. However, the recliner may need to be moved occasionally to clean under and behind it. Some recliners are difficult for one person to move, especially when they are located on carpet. Make a recliner easier to move on carpet using the proper household product.
