How to stop rug moving on carpet?

Question

Hi everyone,

Darla · Answer

You can put a few stripes of silicone caulk on the bottom of an inexpensive rug (let it dry before you put it back down) or get a roll of non-slip shelf liner and put it under the rug.

Please forgive me, Darla, for countering your suggestions, but I have used the caulk, the shelf liner, & several other ideas but my rugs still 'walked' across my carpet. Here's what we finally did that worked: we purchased clear plastic carpet runners that have carpet grips on the bottom. You can buy these off the roll at any home improvement store and have then cut to the length you want. We then took double sided carpet tape to stick our rugs to the runner. Finally, our rugs do not move. Whatever you do, do NOT use carpet tape to stick your rugs directly to your carpet. The glue will, over time, come off onto your carpet & will ruin your carpet. (Ask me how I know??)

Sherry Fram · Answer

I agree with Debi53. We also tried the caulk & shelf liner only to still have the problem. Our solution was the same as Debi53's with the plastic runner & double sided carpet tape. Now it stays put.

Foxi is a slightly stick non-woven  material which does a good job of stopping rugs 'going for a walk'. Available from good furnioshing stores, and not too expensive. Worth at ry.

I'm also going to pass this on to someone I know in the carpet business, he has tried all kinds of remedies trying to keep my runners still....your idea may actually take off now...

Hi, we have a lot of gorgeous oriental rugs and find that rubber rug pads or grippers are hands down the best way to stop them from sliding all over the place. Most rug pads are made of recycled plastics combined with felt and use friction, rather than an adhesive that could damage your carpet or hardwood floor, to stop the carpet from slipping. A Gorilla sells a really cost-effective gripper pad and you should be able to find it on Amazon.

Kim |Exquisitely Unremarkable · Answer

We've used large non-slip rubber gripping pads between our rugs and it works great. However, you need a pad large enough to secure the top rug in place. We also use double stick carpet on carpet tape to secure the edges, because even if you have the gripper the corners can peel up or get caught and cause a tripping hazard. So we always tape them down. Then they don't budge at all.

A Rug ontop of a Carpet will always walk in the way of the make up of the carpet. The only way to keep it in place is to sucure it with screws. You can buy the Mirror screws because they have a domed cap on top to finish them off.
