Baby Socks to Protect Hardwood Floors

This is something I haven't thought about since the 1950s when everyone had hardwood floors. We bought a 1955 rancher and DH is refinishing the living room and hall floors. I just remembered some things I used to do to protect my floors when moving furniture.

My couch and chairs had the little legs on them with the "skirt" which came down to cover the legs. I put baby socks on the legs to protect my floors. I folded washcloths in 4ths to use under the edges of things where the baby socks weren't suitable. With the renewed interest in hardwood flooring these hints might be helpful again.
