Rubber backing on area rug needs to be replaced

3po3 on Jan 25, 2013You can buy rubber slip mats at Bed Bath, and stores of that kind. I don't know about affixing it to the rug, but it can go under the rug without adding height or trip factor.Helpful Reply

Z on Jan 28, 2013I've heard of using latex caulk by running rows of it over the underside of your rug, but there are actually products that are made for backing rugs. I'm linking two of them below. You might want to call HoDe and see if they carry the first product linked in their stores so you can buy just a can if that's all you need. Craft stores that sell latch hook kits would most likely carry the second product linked. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/performix-brand-11-oz-super-grip-6-pack--91209-6.html#.UQcHJ2dCrTo http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Fiber-Lok-Non-skid-Rug-Backing/6203683/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&ef_id=UQcIYgAACRJU8Qnx:20130128232314:s If your rugs are washable I highly recommend air drying them by hanging them instead of using your home dryer. The heat dries out the backing and it soon cracks and falls off.Helpful Reply
