I have a rug that will not stay put.I have tried the special stuff that they sell to put under rugs to help keep them from slipping. It didn't work.I have dried this special spray stuff that works kind of like the scrapbook glue that you can you can move about. It makes it like a restickable sticker. The sticky wears off quickly though.I have even tried putting felt on the back. That didn't work either.The floor I have it on it my bathroom floor. The tile in there is cheap. It is like the tile on the school floors. (I live in an apartment so I have no choice in that matter.) Part of the problem is also that my cats play tag and the rug seems to be base.Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep this rug from slipping so much?
i always use double sided sticky tape it works for me
contact paper. (like for in cabinets) it will grip the carpet and the floor without any adhesives. can be bought at any hardware store
If double confronted tape would not artwork, possibly you will desire to look into getting a larger rug so the sides touch the partitions, bath, and so on., in a stiffer shape. everywhere that sells carpet sells double confronted tape, it is approximately 3 inches in the time of and in spite of length the roll is offered in from the producer. I actual have used it on foam backed carpets 12'X20' without issues, yet those have been a lot heavier than what i think your throw rug is. persist with in a field development then some X kinds.
If double faced tape does not work, perhaps you should look into getting a larger rug so the edges touch the walls, bathtub, etc., in a stiffer construction. Any place that sells carpet sells double faced tape, which is about three inches across and whatever length the roll comes in from the manufacturer. I have used it on foam backed carpets 12'X20' with no problems, but these were much heavier than what I suspect your throw rug is. Apply in a box pattern then some X patterns.
A rubber-backed rug often works in bathrooms, especially on tile. Check in a craft or fabric store for rubber sheeting, then simply stitch it to the back of your rug - or you might want to use something like velcro to adhere it - and remove before washing.. I'm not sure if you can purchase rubber-backed rugs anymore... But - be careful trying to clean it, as most rubber will melt in a hot dryer.
