Rug cleaning at home has never been easier after buying these....
599174
For a while now, I was tired of placing car mats and household rugs on the floor of the garage and shop trying to get them clean...the floor had to be swept first and it a hassle trying to hold them down while cleaning them.  These hangers take the fuss out of cleaning them.  Attached them to a wall in the shop for vacuuming the rugs and made a board to attach the hangers to for cleaning the rugs with a power washer in the driveway.  They hang on to them and don't let go.  Good quality.

I was skeptical that these would work on my extremely curled rug, but they worked perfectly!  I couldn't believe it.  It was easy to put them on the rug and they stick really well.  They've been on that rug for two years now and haven't started to peel off and the rug still lays completely flat.  I'll definitely buy these again in the future if I ever have another curled up rug.

Felt compelled to write a review.  Have owned many Bessells and Hoovers over the years.  I bought a cheap Bissell off the home shopping network that was a waste of  money.  The brush was no better than a toothbrush . . . no motion . . . and my 19 year old carpet was beyond salvation, or so I thought.  As my front room has been turned into my husband's bedroom (he is in final stage COPD disease), the various dirt and unknown stains are practically wall to wall.  I had a professional carpet cleaning service come in, and what they did was temporary.  Stains began to surface within three days.  Whatever the stains are, when one of the three dogs get into the room, they leave their mark on top of the compilation.  This was my last straw.  My next choice was to rip up the carpet and replace when my husband made his last journey home.  I read all the reviews, and THIS WAS THE BEST!  Yes, very heavy, but it promised to clean, and clean it did.  My goal was to buy the best, and if I had to have a child, grandchild, or neighbor help me operate, so be it.  At least I would have the equipment.  Glad to report that I am 71 and used it easily.  I don't know if I could load it up to transport to another location because of the weight, but it did a FABULOUS JOB for me!  Only thing I do not agree with is the amount of time it took to dry.  I did not find it any quicker than the other previously owned machines.  Then, it was dirty, I went very slow letting the rotating brushes do the work for me, and maybe I oversaturated.  I don't know, but it is well worth the money guys and gals!  VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY!

This is the best especially on all the area rugs! It's so much easier than carrying around a heavy vacuum especially if you need to keep up with carpet cleaning daily. I have a dog who is always tracking in dirt and debris all day and we keep this on hand and give all the rugs a few passes at the end of the day and problem solved! I had a similar one in college - a different brand - and it was crappy compared to this one! Would be great for older people too who just need something quick and lightweight.

I have owned these rugs for about two months now.  Though these rugs are labeled for the kitchen, I have a double sinks in my master bathroom separated by a built-in vanity area and we really needed two plush rugs for either sink. Hands down, these cotton rugs DELIVERED!  I LOVE them!!!!  The first week I had them, I spilled lotion on one and washed it, amazingly, it did not lose its plush look and feel! Though I thought these were more expensive, they are definitely worth it.  I am now looking for a larger rug for my tub area.

Never had something like this before. I wish we got these sooner as it makes cleaning up anything so much easier even if left out overnight. I wish it didn't say Amazon on it, but they work so great inside the aluminum half sheets that I bought. I recommend these with out a doubt.

These sliders are freaking amazing, never thought moving heavy furniture around could be these easy. I placed these under a pretty heavy dresser to rearrange our bedroom and these helped to glide the furniture on the carpeting with ease from one side of the room to the other, didn't even need to ask my wife for help. One of the best cheap-o investments I've ever made.

If you need to move heavy stuff around your house on carpet, grab these now! Not for hardwood though, there's other sliders I think for that.

I can't understand the customers who have complained that these rug pads don't work ! I have wood floors and had bought an 8 x 10 soft rug from Pottery Barn , that honestly was like throwing a jumper on the floor, it had no "weight" to it and would move around and fold bunch up so badly at the slightest thing - like stepping on to it ! - that I took it straight back up. I ordered the gorilla grip rug pad based on the good reviews, but was quite skeptical that it could fix my issue. Just relaid the rug with the gorilla grip and the rug is smooth, flat and fixed in place ! Not even my boxer and lab playing chase on it has made it flinch. I `am one amazed, but very happy, customer.

I'll be honest...the instructions on how to use this product confused me a bit. There are two triggers that do different things, and I don't know if I had a case of ADD or just didn't care. So, I started cleaning the carpet. I'm squeezing one trigger, then the other, like I know what I'm doing. I don't; and this machine didn't care. It cleaned the carpets magnificently! I highly recommend this product. Let me tell you why.

I have two new puppies in the house and they occasionally get "excited" to see my wife and me, so they leave little piddle trails on the carpet. Pretty gross. My wife wanted to rent a professional machine, but I figured if we were going to have "mishaps" from time to time, wouldn't it be better to have a machine handy for such occurrences? So we dabbled with the idea of renting a pro machine to establish a baseline and then buy one for upkeep. So I figured, why not try out the "upkeep" machine first. Right? Well, I would bet money that any other machine would not clean the carpets better than this one. Stains gone, carpet cleaned, end of story. We walk barefoot on the carpet a lot and this carpet feels softer and cushier than ever. I almost want to spill something on it so I can have an excuse to clean it again. Buy this machine...you will not be disappointed.

The best household item I've ever bought.  Cuts my cleaning time in half and makes it a lot easier and more efficient!

This was the best purchase I've made in quite a while. It's so easy and light to use! It picks up pet's hair and dirt very well. I have a long-haired cat and now I can keep the living rug clean by vacuuming it quickly two, three times a day.  Crumbs in the kitchen and screened porch are gone in a minute. I manage to vacuum four rooms before having to charge it. And it's very easy to clean and to see when to dispose of the contents in the canister.

These work great!  I recently ordered a new area rug for my living room, because the older one had formed permanent bulges/wrinkles in it and people were tripping over them.  Once I placed my coffee table on the new rug, similar bulges starting forming.  I surmised that the rug was slipping on the carpet and the table was pinning it place, so I removed the coffee table, ironed the new rug out, and started shopping for a rug pad.

I noticed that reviewers of felt/rubber pads for "all floor types," kept mentioned that those pads were good for padding hard floors, but didn't work great on keeping rugs on carpet from slipping and that's what I needed.  After reading some of the negative reviews about these pads, I wasn't sure they would work either, but I was willing to give it a try because I noticed that none of the negative reviews mentioned that they had installed the pad correctly (taken off the plastic on both sides and applied it as directed by some of the top reviewers).  I also ordered one in the runner size, because I have a runner rug on carpet in a hallway that is always moving around and needing to be dragged back into place.

I am happy to report that the installation is pretty simple if you have two or more people for the job.  Even better, these work GREAT!  No bulges in the area rug around the coffee table and I even had a large house party with people and kids walking/playing/and riding toys all over it.  The hallway rug hasn't budged an inch since I installed the pad under it either.  The rugs stay in place when vacuumed with my Shark as well.  Impressive!

Thus, I'm sure the negative reviews do not reflect on the product, but on the lack of instructions for installing it.  In other words, go for it!

Love these... I have hardwood floors, so I wear these as my house slippers. Every night I put them on, tune into Dish channel 6005 (50's rock-n-roll) and dance thru my house for at least a half an hour. So I get my aerobics exercise while keeping my floors shiny & clean!

These are also a must if you have cats & hardwood. Before I started wearing these, I had to vacuum several times a week. Now I go up to 2 weeks without having to vacuum. They're also great in the kitchen for soaking up little spills of water or coffee.

I've had this pair for over a year, put them in the washer/dryer many times, and they're still good as new. One little trick... between (and before) washing, I vacuum the slippers when they get too much dust or cat fur. It takes less than a minute, which sure beats the time it takes to vacuum a room!

I just bought a Rug Doctor Deep Cleaning unit for my 76 yr old Mother....she actually assembled herself while I was out! She is not very mechanically inclined, so I was quite surprised.

She recently had her carpets professionally cleaned, however,  we were blown away with how dirty they actually were once we broke out the new RD. We went over her bedroom carpet a couple of times until the dirty water came out cleam. They smell great, look and feel great. The machine is well designed, light, and extremely easy to use. I'm extremely happy with how clean the carpet came out. I really thought I'd be the one having to clean her carpets, but she jumped right in and did most of the work. If there is a better unit out there for this price, I must have nissed it. We couldn't be happier than we are with this Rug Doctor. Also, clean up after use was very simple.

I bought two new area rugs for the kitchen and wanted to keep them from getting nasty looking without having to drag out the vacuum frequently. This carpet sweeper is awesome! Picks up absolutely everything (except wet spills). The traps are easy to open and empty, and the brushes pop out easily to remove hair (I have long hair and shed a lot, so need to cut between the rows of bristles, but once that's done, it all pulls off easily). My only problem was the lack of instructions for anything but assembly. I finally found there are black-on-black embossed instructions on the bottom, hard to read until you hold it at just the right angle to a light, but easy as pie once you know how. I use it every day or two (it weighs virtually nothing) and the rugs look like the day I got them.

Here's the deal, folks: I love to clean and I love cleaning products. After going through a roll of paper towels every three days, I decided to jump on board the Microfiber Cleaning Cloth ship. Unfortunately, most of the cloths I tried... just felt cheap. They would fall apart after a few uses, or - even worse - they were so thin I would almost *prefer* to use a paper towel.

So glad I went out on a limb and tried Skylar Blue microfiber cloths. These things actually work! Seriously, they'll practically do the work of cleaning for you. They have the perfect thickness: thick enough that they'll actually pick up dust and absorb plenty of moisture, but not so thick that you can't get into those tight corners.

While I've only used these in my kitchen and bathroom so far, I'm sure they'd be great on the car, as well. All in all, I highly recommend these cleaning cloths! Great product. Unbeatable price. Will be buying more when I run out!

I was very reluctant to purchase something like a rug online.  I had looked all over for decent rugs, and just couldn't find anything I liked, so I decided to take a chance, because I got them at clearance prices, plus a special discount that was going on at the time.  I ended up buying 5 of these rugs in various sizes to furnish my entire home with matching rugs.  I am very happy with the quality, they feel 'cushy' under bare feet.  They clean up very well (we have kids and dogs).  The only caution I would give, is that the color is lighter,and more rosy in person than in the picture online.
