I'm trying to figure out the best ways to move my fridge, washer, dryer, and stove so I can clean underneath them. I've considered several options like a handheld jack, dolly, or furniture sliders, but I'd love to hear your recommendations for the easiest and safest methods!

If you're on a smooth floor, I learned a neat trick—just spray some Windex on the path where you need to move the appliance. They glide really easily without much effort. Just don't forget to be cautious of water connections for the washer and fridge when you move them!
Using a dolly can be really helpful, but make sure to hold the top while wiggling it out to avoid damaging the appliance. Most fridges should have wheels, which makes it easier to pull them out. If anything, try using cardboard underneath to slide them out gently.
You might want to check if your fridge has wheels; it should roll out easily. For the dryer, it's pretty light, and you can probably just shift it a bit to clean behind. The washer is usually more tricky, but I suggest doing as much cleaning as you can without moving it too much.
Yeah, I've found that tilting the washer slightly helps, just be careful with any water connections!
Good point about the cardboard! It protects both the floor and the appliance.
