Product Overview
Home Techpro rug grippers will prevent your indoor area rugs, runners, and mats that fit under a door from slipping, moving, curving, or bunched up due to friction. There is a very thin pad that you attach at the four corners of each rug. This creates friction between the rug and the floor which prevents the rug from being pulled by foot traffic. They do this with a very low profile so they don't add much bulk to the rug corner. Home Techpro Rug Grippers should be used on smooth surfaces such as tile, laminate, hardwood and vinyl floors.
Customers Say
Many consumers have stated the rubber grips assist with holding their rugs in place; and many have also mentioned that they find them to be a good option when preventing rugs from curling at corners on hardwood, tile, laminate, etc. smooth surface flooring. Consumers have commented positively about how easy it is to install these products and how difficult it is to notice the low profile adhesive pads that are installed under the rug.
Many of these same users have also reported that the rubber pads assist with holding rugs in place during regular walking, vacuuming, or other forms of light housekeeping activities. These rubber pads seem to work particularly well with small rugs and runners, as these types of rugs tend to shift around and slide across slick flooring much easier than larger area rugs do.
Consumers have complained regarding several issues with the rubber pads. Some consumers have found that the rubber pads perform poorly when there is a lot of dust and debris on either the floor or the pad itself. Others have complained that after removing the pad multiple times the grip loses some of its hold. A few consumers have had trouble getting the pads to adhere properly to certain rug backings. In general, if you clean and dry both surfaces prior to installing the pads this should improve the adhesion of the pads.

Bottom Line
Home Techpro Rug Gripper's most significant benefits to households struggling with slipping rugs, moving runner rugs, or curling edges of their rugs on slick hardwood floors include an ultra-low profile style that easily installs into your existing flooring system and provides greater stability and support to your rug. The major drawback to using these products is the level of adhesive performance in both the type of flooring you have smooth finish and the material used as the backer on your rug.
