Any tips for pushing in a washing machine?

[WaterTight]

I've done a good few but this one is super-tight and on bare floorboards so could get stuck. What do you guys use to make pushing it in easier? Bit of ply or something?

If you got height, offcut of wallboard as the laminate is very slippery. If no height I have some 1200 gauge DPM I use (this is also what I use to make syphon diaphragms!)

I keep two strips of steel ( came of old boiler jig ) in the van , approx 4 mm , around 1 m long with one end of each bent by about 80 mm , to grab or push .
Helps no end

What you lot keeping crap like that for??

Ask customer to use their polish, spray on floor around said area and it will be like a sheet of ice under the appliance.

Washing up liquid. But you will not get it back out as easily as it went in.
