Securing throw rugs to floor

Julies1949 on Sep 09, 2016I wouldn't use the tape. We have engineered hardwood floors and I would hate for the chemicals in the tape to stain the floor. I just use a non-slip mat underneath.Helpful Reply

Faye Campbell on Sep 10, 2016I would avoid the two sided sticky tape. I used it to secure a n outdoor carpet on my balcony and it left residue when I lifted the carpet to store it for the winter. Then I had to use a scrubby to remove the residue from the cement. Messy.Helpful Reply
