Finally!  a carpet tape that really does hold the rug in place!

FInally!  a carpet tape that really does hold the rug in place.  I have five children and two dogs, and in evitably my area rug at the doors always get ruffled and moved. I have tried many different rug adhesives  in the past. They would hold for a time and not very long. I received my x fasten indoor carpet tape two days ago. I applied it to two entry rugs yesterday and am very pleased.  These rugs did not even flinch this morning when I let my dogs run and jump through the doorway.  I cannot speak for the longevity of the secure hold of my rugs, but will be glad to post another review after several months have passed.  One word of caution, the tape is very sticky, so you want to be careful that you don't accidentally touch or step on the tape while applying it. My daughters shoe was stuck quite well when she accidentally stepped on the tape.

So far this carpet tape is working great.  Carpet stays in place and no slipping.  As far as leaving behind any residue I can't say yet.  Check back in a year or so after I remove the tape.  The delivery was faster than I thought it would be and I give the product five stars.

Superb for holding our medium-weight rug to the floor, love it! Seriously, wife and I both tried to do the "Tom Cruise slide" (ala Risky Business, remember that one?) on the rug and nodda, no budging to be had - awesome!

Just got it so, will come back and update later if anything changes though I highly doubt it will. I will say that I'm at least mildly concerned about any of this type of pad leaving permanent waffle marks on the finish of the wood, but we figured it didn't much matter since we bought the house recently and the floor is already in fair to partly cloudy shape as far as needing refinishing anyway.

*** Update -- One month later and, still no sliding - YEAH!!! ***

I used carpet tape to hold in place better and they are great. Been using them heavily for a couple months and they still look great!

This tape is fantastic, i have trhow rugs on my tile floors and they are always getting deshuffled by dogs, kids, etc, i used a small corner piece of this tape and wahlah, fixed problem, i also used on a few other projects that i need a double sided tape and this tape is a dream. so easy to use, works great, i did get a discount for a review and i love this tape, i recommend it since it is superior to other double sided tapes

This tape works to keep our thick winter entry mat in place on our polyurethane finished hardwood floors . Strong on both sides and simple to apply. Really thin so it doesn't add height to the rug. Keeps it in place despite a door sweep going across it, 3 clumsy kids, and our family dog. Comes off easy for cleaning. What more do you need?

The sides of the roll is very sticky so don't place it on any precious kids paintings that will tear when pulling it off. oops.

This may work for some. I think the backing of my rug had something to do with it not working. I had a rough bottom rug and the tape did not stick to it - thus did not hold it in place. I have a laminate floor and it still slid all over the place.

We have a 5'x8' rug in our foyer that is not anchored by any furniture.  Before getting this rug pad, that rug never stayed in place.  With this rug pad, it's almost like it's glued to our hardwood floors.  Even with our dog running and stopping on the rug - no movement at all.  The pad is just thick enough to add a little cushion, but not thick enough to make it feel like you're walking on wall to wall carpet - at least not for our rug.  Overall very satisfied with this purchase, and will be buying more for our other rugs.

We've had our product for 4 months, and we love it.  No more tripping over the rugs, or having to pull the rugs back to their proper places.  It was fairly easy to apply--my husband did it all by himself as he was too impatient to wait for me to get home.  What else can I say?  Worth the money, we'll order more.

you have to put tape on the carpet and the floor.  If you do one or the other, it won't hold.

Replaced a throw rug but it did not have the rubber backing my old one had---my 3 cats would dive bomb the rug and it was a nightmare.  This tape is AWESOME---sticks to the mat and is pretty easy to pull off the 2nd side of the tape also.  The rug no longer moves which prevents the cats from playing with it and it holds so well it won't slip even when I walk on it.  The corners are firmly in place and that says a  lot with 3 cats who have tried to move it.  This is truly a problem solver and would recommend to anyone!!  Gave it 3 stars as it will work with lightweight rugs but I don't think it would be effective with heavier items.

Fantastic carpet tape. Stuck to the back of the carpet as well as my tile floor. Easy to peel backing. This is the best carpet tape I have ever used. Would not hesitate to buy again. Excellent product!

I knew I was getting a rug with no grip, and I was hesitant to put any adhesive on my tile floors as I like to move furniture around pretty often. I found this 6 ft round grip mat where I find most everything, in an Amazon search. It's great. Rolls right up with the rug for vacuuming and does its job holding it in place. It's also my kids play rug and gives it just a little extra cushion. 5 stars for sure!

Excellent product!  I had (2) 8 by 10 rugs on carpet that wrinkled and bunched up constantly.  With the Gorilla Grip installed not one wrinkle or movement.  These pads really work as advertised.

This thing is a blessed relief. I've only had it for two days, so I can't speak to it's long term quality, but so far it's fantastic. I have thick carpet on the floor and my 8x11 rug would not stay put on top of the carpet. Just walking across it would cause it start bunching up like crazy. Now it's not moving at all! Just make sure you peel off the plastic on BOTH sides of the pad, otherwise it won't work.

The product did exactly what I bought it for, keeping the corners down on
our entry area large rug. The non slip material is also helping keep the
rug in place with the large amount of foot traffic of kids, dogs, and
adults. Thanks for the great product that actually does what it says it will do.

Great product! I've tried other products to keep rugs in place but this one is by far the best and I won't use anything else from now on. I have a large 100lb dog who runs all over the house and sliding on the rugs but this tape keeps the rugs perfectly in place!
