do these pads drag on hardwood floors when wet?

We use ours damp with the Bona hardwood floor spray and it does a great job and does not drag.

They do not drag when wet. I use them with the spray cleaner and they work well

I did Insanity in them on hardwood. Barely slid. I think if you have a wide enough surface area, they won't move much.

Sorry they are not. I have found that a double stick tape or velcro to solve the slipping problem. I also use training pads on top of these just for extra benefit if I am away. The "sticky" also helps in them "going" to the same place every time. Good luck. I have found these pads to be the most helpful training items on the market and bought five sets so I don't get caught between wash days. I have hardwood floors and the "sticky" has not been a problem on them as well.

Yes they will work off carpet but not as well, I keep a few weights on the mat to keep it from moving, the bottom of the pad is smooth and can cause slipping, but better on carpet than on a smooth surface

These will slide on the carpet. I installed these on my 6 dining room chairs that are usually on carpet, because I sometimes use the same chairs on the hardwood floor in the nook. They work great on carpet and hardwood. Since the pads are nailed into the chair leg, they never slide off.

The legs do have felt pads to prevent damaging floors. So far the pads have stayed in place well.

The rubber is soft & pliable. We have hardwood floors & they did not leave any marks.

Yes. I have mostly hardwood in my home and it's great. But, as I mentioned in my review, I don't like the new shag style floor pads as well as the old quilt textured pads. The new ones leave marks on my floor so I immediatly wipe the floors down with a towel. It takes a little bit more time but it's pretty easy since the Shark doesn't leave a lot of water on the floors anyway.

No man the pads should not drag. I placed brake grease where the sides pads slide on the caliper. Also for both front and back, allow enough clearance for new pad install. Hope this helps!

Yes, I used on hardwood floor with no problem. The lever handle has a plastic pivot that is made to not mark a hardwood floor. Use the felted pads on hardwood.

The pads get less sticky over time and are easier to use. I use mine a long time so I even wet the area where I want to apply them. I have no problems with the machine.

No, don't wet the pads. The dry pads work much better. The wet ones result in less traction.

They would probably work, but you do need to keep the surface wet by constantly running a stream of water over the surface. It would most likely work dry too, but the pads will wear out quickly. Use a slow speed, especially if you do it dry.

i don't have a problem sliding chairs along the floor with these little booties on the feet of each chair. and i have heavy wrought iron chairs, and i have hardwood floors. i L.O.V.E. these things. they're sooo much better than those silly stick on felt covered discs (which, btw, never stayed on in the 1st place). i even have them on my bathroom stool, so my marble floor doesn't get scratched.

Our home has hardwood floors and I haven't noticed any scratches occurring from these feet. They are hard plastic, so rough or extended play on the floors could foreseeably result in a scratch. Ideally, these work better on carpet or a rug, since they could slide around more on the hard floor.

I have hardwood floors too and the bed doesn't slide with these castors. I don't know how the grippers work, but they do.

We do not have that issue. I have them on hardwood floors and tile flooring and they slide very nicely. I do have the "beads of rubber " on the inside , could that be your problem?
