This has always been a hassle. I bought a $14 sticky rug anchor
piece, cut it up and put under small rugs at doors and in bathroom.
The anchor stays put, but the damn RUG moves.

Yesterday I saw a liquid rubber product that is applied to the back
of rugs; supposedly anchors them. Didn't get the name of the
product. Anybody heard of this? Experience?

TIA

If it comes in a red and white plastic bottle, I've used it and it
worked pretty well.

Unfortunately the store where I got it doesn't sell it anymore, and if
I remember right I went to the company's website and it's out of
business (or I googled it and couldn't find them, don't exactly
remember).

Too bad, I wanted more.

If the anchor as marketed totals (say) 30 square inches, the makers
may have worked out that a minimum of (say) 20 inches is needed
to fasten the rug securely. If so, and if you cut the anchor in half to
fasten two rugs, you may find neither piece holds.

Its sticky like that, its made for carpets that slip but it doesnt
leave a residue on the floors.

I had the same problem with slickery laminate flooring.

My solution was to buy non-slip rugs (the kind with the rubber backing).

Yes, but the whole POINT is to salvage a fairly expensive bathroom or
kitchen rug set when the rubber backing starts to wear.

OK, the name of the product is FIBER LOCK. Price is $13.10. I'm
so annoyed with the failure of the sticky rug anchor that I'm tempted
to
buy the Fiber Lock and see if it works.

if you have a hot glue gun, try putting 4 small dime size(or smaller) globs
on each corner

Ah, okay.

* Coat the bottom of the rug with Rubber Cement. Let it dry? (A gallon is
about $12)
* Velcro?

Clear silicone caulk, lay a few beads on the back of the rug and
flatten it out with a putty knife, allow to dry.

I've tried ALL of the liquid products, including an aerosol one. Fiber_lok
(rubber sap with some ammonia in it) was a huge disappointment: it came

whatsoever!!

I love the new brush-on product simply named Rug Anchor. It's a bit
expensive, but a little goes a LOT farther than the bottle claims, and it
stands up to HOT machine washing and the clothes dryer. My rugs and other
things I used it on a couple of years ago are joys now.

By the way, the product's available online only, and the company has
discounts on multiple bottles, so you can split an order and save $.

3M VHB double sided tape. It works very well, but it can mar the finish
on the floor depending on the type of floor.

Please, Pete, you're responding to a spam post (shill) from the spam
