Product Overview
This double sided, removable carpet tape will assist in holding your rugs, runner, mat, or carpet in place so that they don't slide or shift.
The tape can be trimmed to fit at an edge of a carpet and corner of a carpet and applied to most household surfaces including hardwood floors, tile, vinyl, and laminate.
The tape provides enough hold for the rug to stay in place but does allow for easy removal if you need to clean it or move it to another location.
Customers Say
Many consumers also mentioned that this product has assisted them with preventing their rugs/runner's from slipping across smooth surfaces.
A lot of buyers have stated that this product makes it easy to place the strip under the rug at the corner, edge and other small rugs/mats.
Reviewers have used this product as an adhesive strip on all types of hard-surface flooring hardwood, tile, vinyl & laminate in high-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, bathroom entry areas etc.
Most reviewers liked the fact that this product provides a very strong gripping force which assists in flattening out their rugs and minimizing curled up rug corners.
However; many reviewers also noted that the adhesives may perform differently on different flooring surfaces and/or rug backings and/or if the surface is clean prior to applying the strip.
Also, some reviewers mentioned that they had difficulty removing the adhesive residue when using the product and therefore suggest to test the product in a hidden area prior to installation.

Bottom Line
This double-sided rug remover carpet tape is an easy method of attaching rugs, runners and mats to avoid them moving/curled when placed on flat surfaces. I like this product's ability to hold well, to be easily cut down to size and to use it on hardwood, tile, vinyl and laminate flooring. One of my concerns with using the tape is the difficulty in removing without leaving some sort of residue behind and the amount of residue will depend upon how well the adhesive sticks to your floor and/or other surface.
