Prevent rug slips with these simple and cost-effective hacks
A sliding rug can be annoying and dangerous—especially for children. However, a simple home trick that doesn't require significant costs is an effective way to prevent this.
A sliding rug is a nuisance for many households. Just a moment of inattention and the rug can become the cause of an unpleasant accident for both adults and children. How can you prevent this? A home trick will help.
What to do so the rug doesn't slide?
The lack of proper grip makes the rug easily slide on the floor. However, this situation has a solution. User @insidenumber5 demonstrated on her Instagram profile what we can use so the rug doesn't cause unpleasant incidents.
What we need is plastic wrap. It is cheap and available at practically every grocery store. To solve this problem, simply lift a corner of the rug, tear off a piece of the wrap, and place it on the floor. Do this so that the product "sticks" to the floor. This will stop the rug from sliding.
Alternative solutions
One of the simpler tricks is also using a rubber mat. Installing it under the rug prevents it from sliding, even during intensive use. Compared to more advanced solutions, such as tapes or glues, rubber mats are easy to use and do not cause damage.
Another method worth trying is plastic grips available at home goods stores. Their application is simple and effective. Just stick them to the rug's corners to keep it in place.
From an ecological perspective, it's worth trying natural waxes. Applying wax to the rug's underside can make it adhere to the floor without needing additional glues. A similar effect can be achieved with a non-slip mesh, which can be purchased by the yard.
