How to keep jute rug from slipping.

One way to keep your rug in place is to anchor it with furniture. Obviously all rugs move around on a slick surface unless it has a non slip backing but i ve found that jute rugs tend to do this a bit more. Rugs that slip and slide on hardwood vinyl or tile floors are a known hazard but you might not expect a rug to slide when it s lying on your carpet. If you have hot glue you can smear hot glue on each corner on the back side spreading so it won t leave a bump then when it is dry it should grab on to the floor and help with the slipping problem back in the old days when canning jars still used rubber rings momma would save the old broken rings and sew those to the back side of rugs to keep them from slipping.

When that s not enough placing anti slip mats and sticky tape under the rug will do. This non slip matting is placed under the floor rug ideally covering as much of the rug as possible. Ruglock is a spray that creates a permanent non slip rug backing which grips to your floor. Set one of the rug pad s corners up near the rug s corners leaving about an inch 2 5 cm of clearance on either side.

Another con for me is the fact that jute rugs tend to slide around super easily on tile or hardwood floors. Putting an area rug on top of carpet is a great way to protect the carpet and add depth to a space. However while they are affordable and easy to install and certainly do hold rugs in place these budget rug pads come with several adverse side effects that may make them more of a problem than a solution. Just don t get a 100 jute rug if you re looking for something super soft and plush.

If the rug pad is larger than your rug you ll need to trim it to fit. It s also a good way to drive yourself crazy as area rugs resting on top of carpet are prone to slipping sliding and creating tripping hazards. If you find that the rug moves off the matting then you can spot glue it to the back of the area rug using a craft glue. You can buy ruglock by itself or purchase it with a kit which includes the painter s tape and drop cloth for 5 more.

The rubber underlay is dimpled and open to allow air to circulate and to prevent moisture trapping under the rug.
