Unsecured rugs can cause accidents. Sliding or tripping are some of the most common hazards rug owners experience. And with pets and children underfoot, you want to ensure your rug is secure. Woods Rug Laundry recommend using a rug pad or rug underlay to help prevent household accidents and extend the life of your rug.

Rug Underlay

A rug underlay is a valuable investment to protect your home and your rug. Woods Rug Laundry recommends the use of Dual-Lock rug underlay. Dual-Lock is a non-slip underlay with “light” adhesive on both sides. It can be used on rugs located on carpet, polished boards, tiles, slate, marble, etc. As a result, Dual-Lock increases safety by stabilising the walking surface. A non-slip underlay like Dual-Lock prevents you rug from moving when you don’t want it to do so. Finally, investing in a good underlay that can also protect the handmade knots in your rug from wear and tear, extending the life of your rug.

Rug Pad

Using a rug pad like Dual-Lock will extend the life of your rugs and flooring because it reduces friction and adds padding. Further, it allows the rug to be easily moved for cleaning and re-positioning. It also protects your floor from scratches caused by dirt and other debris. Using a rug pad or underlay like Dual-Lock has the added benefit of making your rug feel thicker and softer to walk on.

Easy-installation: Dual-Lock is applied directly to the back of your rug after cleaning. All you need to do is simply place your rug in position.
