Non slip mats

21 years ago

This isn't exactly cleaning but we just moved into a house with hardwood floors. We have always had carpeting before.

Is there any way that I can make my scatter rugs, slip proof? I don't want someone slipping on a mat and breaking their neck. I have heard of fastening rubber sealer rings to the back but I'm wondering if there is a spray or anything that I could use.

Thanks for any suggestions and a Merry Christmas to all.

There is a product you can buy to spread onto the back of your rugs that will make them slip proof, BUT it is very pricey. Joann Fabrics sells it in the rug hooking area.
What most people use is the rubber mats that you buy made especially to go under rugs. You can buy it by the yard at Joann's (in the home dec area) or I have seen it at Home Depot and probably you could find it anywhere they sell rugs.
