GORILLA GRIP Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper, Grips Keep Area Rugs Safe and in Place, Thick, Slip and Skid Resistant Pads for Hard Floors Under Carpet Mat Cushion and Hardwood Floor Protection 3x5 FT

I use this as a nonslip pad on my kitchen counter. It works great. I purchased a pasta board and quickly discovered I needed something under it. I have a wooden bread slicing guide that came with a small nonslip pad and after comparing it to pictures determined it was a rug pad.

I am so happy with these rug grippers by Gorilla Grip! To ensure both the rug gripper and rug remain in place, below are a few tips, which -- by trial and error -- worked perfectly for us.I have several thick throw rugs in my various bathrooms, each with a so-called non-skid rubber-like coating on the bottom, all of which never stayed in place. I lost count of the number of times I purchased similar rug grippers to this one (but never before by Gorilla Grip) -- from Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, etc. Frustratingly, NONE held the rugs or the grippers in place, i.e., not only would the rug still move, but then the (other brand) grippers would "sneak out" beyond the border of the rug and look "tacky".These rug grippers were delivered on 10/26/2024, and we put them in place that day. Today is 12/30/2024, and they have not budged even a half inch after experimenting with different options and finding a solution that worked. TIPS:1) We cut each rug gripper in a rectangle shape to almost exactly ONE INCH from the edge all around each rug (you will need that small uncovered border near the edge of each rug not protected by the gripper pad for this solution to work).2) We first tried professional-grade MASKING TAPE. It did not stick at all to the non-stick rug bottom and it popped right off. Then we tried ProTape's professional PAINTER'S TAPE. That also did not adhere the non-stick rug bottom, and it, too, popped right off.3) On our third try, we added a continuous strip of GORILLA TAPE (Mini Duct Tape To-Go, 1" x 10 yd Travel Size), not their two-sided tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E5ZWT4/). We placed the MIDDLE of the Gorilla Tape over the rug gripper so that one-half inch of it covered the UNCOVERED border of the rug bottom, and the other half-inch was OVER the rug gripper.4) We are using the pet tool of a Black & Decker hand-vac to vacuum each rug on a weekly basis (if the rugs are visibly dirty and need to be washed, you likely will need to remove the Gorilla tape and rug gripper and see if the tape adheres after the rug is fully dry).One, I cannot say what the success rate would be if we did not take the extra step of using the Gorilla Tape. Two, I have never purchased woven/cotton rugs, such as those with fringed edges, so I don't know if our solution will work with them . Thus far, however, I am more than pleased that my rugs are not slipping and sliding, and that the rug grippers do not show beyond the edges of the rugs. I highly recommend this product.

This rug pad was a pain to get in place as it is super sticky, and you put it on the back of the rug as rather than putting it on the floor then putting the rug on top of it as you would with the usual rug pad. Getting it in the correct position on the rug was a challenge. It does work for the purpose of keeping a small throw rug in place on top of another rug . It is thin and adheres very well but not so easy to install.

I used to have to readjust the rug multiple times a day, and since buying this rug pad, I haven’t needed to once. Highly recommend as a cost-effective, non-slip option- especially if your dog is known to zoomie.

Make sure your flooring is clean first and lay down the mat where you want it. Basically, it won’t move easily, which is great. Slowly unroll or unfold half the rug until it covers the mat completely. The rug and mat stay in place! It’s great. Before, my cats were running and getting under the straw rug, because the old mat wasn’t working anymore. I was tripping on it and constantly putting it back. The mat had lost its ability to grip surfaces. Really works well!

Yes, it works wonderfully - but is very sticky and extremely hard to get the film off. Some of the pad stuck to the film when I was trying to remove the film.

Works perfect on carpet. I have always had a problem getting area rugs to not bunching up and always tripping on them. This is amazing and will buy more for other rugs.

Ehhh. Didn’t provide the strength I wanted under our cushions. The chairs are plastic product and that may be why.
