Product Overview
The Zongoool washable rug grippers are self-sticking, reusable and will give you the extra grip that your rug or runner needs so it does not slide, curl or bunch up on your hard floor. The rug gripper is placed under the rug, creating an additional surface for the rug to cling onto.
Zongoool rug grippers can be placed on all of the most commonly found hard flooring surfaces such as hardwood, tile, laminate, marble, etc. They have a very low profile which means they do not show once the rug has been placed on top of them.
Customers Say
Beginning with many satisfied customer reviews saying Zongoool Rug Grippers are a simple installation process and work well in preventing sliding & curling. The strips are used by customers for various small floor covering items such as; area rugs, hallway runners, entrance mats, bath mats, etc.
Commonly cited positives of the product include keeping rug corner edges down flat. A lot of customers have stated they had issues prior to purchasing Zongoool Rug Grippers with area rugs that would always shift/curve. They have mentioned the strips give the rugs stability when walking around.
