Appliance Rollers

I used 4x clothes placed under each corner - worked fine on laminate in the utility.

Laminate is more solid compared to vinyl lino

If you're only concerned about damage while moving the appliances, you could get a sheet of thin board, slide it right under the front end and move the appliance onto the board. That way there's no significant movement across the visible surface of the lino.

we use offcuts of carpet (pile facing downwards) trimmed to be practically invisible.

I've used them in the past and they were pretty useless. Somewhat better, and not adding significant height, were the slippy plastic discs you can get.

I use this method as well. ( I have a couple of strips of laminate flooring that I use.) Most other solutions will cause damage if there is the smallest bit of grit. Rollers bet impregnated with grit if you are not careful.

Thanks for the tip I will not bother with the rollers

I also had lino fitted in the kitchen this week, bought castor cups, found a bagful for a quid at B&Q, smeared the base with washing up liquid and placed under the feet, sliding the units back in was a doddle

I wouldn't want soapy feet on my washer - it would let it wander around . (an old one once got oil on the feet and it was a load of trouble - I had to remove and de-grease the rubber pads).
