How to stop rugs slipping.

[spidermama]

Right. We've sanded and varnished the floors but now the rugs are really slippy and dangerous. There must be some product out there to stop rugs slipping.
But what and where?

Ikea! They sell special matting. I@m sure other places do too though.

Is this something can be cut to size? What's it made of?

Stopp - comes in different sizes.

Any department stoer which sells rugs should have them. We got ours in Allders before they closed!

store!

The one in the link is a rubber mesh but I think they do one now which is like felt but with a rubbery feel to it (feels horrible actually!)

You can also get little rubbery pads that stick on the underside of the rug and grip the floor

Paaartrull is the felty one. I have both and I think the felt one works better actually.

Patrull

Stopp

bugger, you're all too fast!

I've had the pad style too but I don't find they work so well as the rugs still slip wherever the pads aren't.

Well, now I know.
Thanks girls.
Fab chirstmas names btw.

I'm probably in Ikea almost as much as you, Serenity My, what a joy the returns department was this morning...!

You've got a fab Christmas name too, Spidermama, if only you'd use it!

I hate the Ruturns Dept, they accept such cack back from customers.

We had a bedspread back once that was stinky, covered in dog hairs, with some very interesting stains, bluergh!

I never return anything, queues too long and life is far far too short.

A mere 30 minutes this morning - not bad seeing as their computer system was (allegedly) down. I remember thinking I was going to have to give birth in there whilst pregnant with DS1.

Do you think I can return an energy saving lightbulb that I dropped onto the radiator and smashed?

Probably, but after today could you really be bothered?

Honestly the computer system is very temperamental (that sp looks very wrong...)

What dragon what? What's my name. I had some suggestions but I've been suffering from banana brain since the floor sanding trauma began.

No, not really, but it did cross my mind as it fell, avoiding anything soft and landing right on the radiator valve. Bah!

Have to say, I've waited longer when the computers were working!!

Mincepiedermama!

Thanks.
