Slippy Rugs

[catswhiskas]

We have recently had the carpet removed and put laminate flooring down in the living room, and bought a couple of rugs to put down. The living room looks really smart but we find the rugs a bit slippy. We have looked on the internet about what to put underneath them, but are still not sure what to go for, dont want anything that will damage flooring, what do others use please.

you can get tape style "rug gripper"s that you stick to the bottom corners of each rug to help keep it in place. This works much better on laminate than it does on carpet.

Thanks spathiphyllum, but will it mark the floor underneath ?

We've got hard floors all the way through and we use these rug grippers, they work like a charm :)

Urmm.. If it does, then it would be a mark you could easily lift with dettol or any other cleaning spray. It would not be a permanent mark you couldn't shift.

We bought some of this several years ago - absolutely brilliant. You can easily cut it to size. We bought a large size, cut some off to hold a rug in place on a laminate floor and used the remainder to hold a carpet offcut in place as a doormat. Previous attempts for the doormat had seen it creep around but, since using this, it hasn't budged.
It's tacky, rather than sticky, so doesn't mark but does its job perfectly.

Thank you for all your replies ,there is a couple of good links to look at, so sure it may be one of these to go for.

I agree. The John Lewis ones are superb.

Do you have a glue gun?

If so do what I did, a few swirls of glue on underside of rug, let it dry and it works a charm.

I got something from John Lewis than keeps them in place. Can't recall the name but check them out. The idea is you cut a shape same size as the rug to go underneath it.

Yeah that in bhg's link.
