Grip-It Magic Stop Rug PAD, 4x6, White

This non-slip pad is perfection. It does exactly what it was designed to do. I can't say enough good things about it. If you're on the fence take the plunge. You won't be disappointed.Though there were no instruction on how to use it or deploy it, with a bit of thinking you'll figure it out. Don't peel the backing off the pad until you get it in place.I have an oriental rug over carpet in my livingroom. The rug was always slowly moving across the carpet and bunching up on my couch. I have a chair on one corner that I thought would hold the rug in place, but that never worked. I would have to move the chair and drag the rug back into place every week. Now that this pad is in place the rug hasn't move at all. It stayed exactly where I put it. I can vacuum the rug with no issues and haven't had to adjust it once since using this pad. This is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.Here is how I suggest you set it up:Vacuum the area onto which you're going to put the pad, and vacuum the bottom of the rug you're going to use it to hold in place.Both side of the pad are sticky, but only one side has a backing to peel off as the other side is folded onto itself for protection. I put the pad down onto rug I wanted it to hold in place with the protected side down. This allowed me to trim it with heavy duty scissors on two sides to make it just a bit smaller than the rug.Once that was done I rolled up the rug, put the pad down on the livingroom carpet with the unprotected side down while leaving the backing on the other side. This allowed me to smooth out the pad and help remove some of the creases created by it being folded to fit into the packaging.I then unrolled the rug back onto pad. This allowed me to make sure the pad was completely hidden by the rug. It also allowed me to walk over the rug to get the pad to stick to the carpet. I kept checking the pad to make sure it was smooth. If it wasn't I unpeeled the backing, pulled the pad from the edge, and then allowed the backing to fall back on it so I could keep adjusting both the pad and run.Once everything was where I wanted it, I rolled the rug up to one end, then with it still rolled up, rolled it just far enough towards the center of the pad to start peeling the backing off the top of the pad. Once about a quarter of the backing was peeled away I rolled the rug back to the peeled edge. I knelt on the edge of the rug that was now being stuck to the top of the pad and kept peeling the backing off the top of the pad while unrolling the rug. I did this all the way across the pad. This worked great and the rug hasn't moved since.

I was fed up with my rug not staying crease free on my already installed carpet. I was ready to return the rug but fortunately came across this product on amazon and thought of giving it a try. This product worked wonders. It has been almost 2 weeks since I installed this under my rug. It has not moved an inch. My daughter who is 125 lbs dances on it and no rug creases. I am so happy with this product. Thanks to amazon for selling such great products.

I wouldn’t say this is the perfect product to keep a large area rug on carpet, but it is definitely the best product I’ve tried. I bought an 8x10 area rug for a highly trafficked living room to protect our brand new carpet and give the room some more style and NOTHING would keep this rug in place. I was adjusting it every single day. It would bunch up and shift just by walking on it. I tried Carpet Tape, which did not work and eventually lost adhesion, anchoring it under a sectional couch... the list goes on.Magic Stop works well if you follow the instructions posted in the 2013 review that everyone references. Follow them to a T or you’re going to have issues like the people who wrote the low star reviews.I love that it covers the entire rug and not just corners or edges like other products. The adhesion seems low when you first put it down but it sticks to both the carpet and the rug well despite what it seems. It is also very easy to trim with scissors. The install was kind of time consuming and frustrating with a very large area rug, but worth it for how it’s working to keep the rug in place. I’m just hoping it holds up over time!

The pad binds to carpet well but not to area rug. Tried trimming pad to see if making it smaller helps and area rug is still moving around.

This product works really well. I am glad I purchased. We have some small carpets we use in front of our recliners to keep the rest of the carpet cleaner. this product helps to keep the small carpets in place and not floating around or rolling up to make you trip. I'm quite glad I found this product. It works even better with one of the corner sticky pads available. Helps keep small carpets in place. Happy we found.

Excellent! I tolerated slipping, moving rugs on carpet for years. I used the common rug gripper, didn't know what else to do; you know the ones that we all use with rugs on any floor to keep them in place and prevent color transfer. As you know, these don't work very well on carpeted floors. Got various sizes of these to replace all the hall runners, bathroom and kitchen rugs, too. Absolutely phenomenal! No movement on most after 4 weeks so far. Only one has minor movement. The one hall runner on carpet in front of the laundry room shifts a tiny bit around the edges. But 99% improved. The real deal. Have these always been available to purchase? Oh...and no sticky reisidue on carpets - I was concerned about that, too. Great product. Highly recommend.

Thank goodness for the reviews that helped us know how to put this down. It does not come with instructions. We were looking for something to hold a rug on a carpet....this advertised that it did not, but it has not. Our rug is moving around all day, driving me crazy

This works pretty well. We have this on our rug that has access from the garage. It gets daily use. We put this down to help with the huge amount of traffic that we get in this spot. It’s our most used entrance.It does start to walk a little bit but it never bunches and is easy to reposition. We have to put it back in the correct position about once a month.With that said it’s easily worth every cent. It’s thin so it does not give the rug a lot of lift which is what we wanted. Our feet do not catch on it very often. So much better than other rug mats we have tried that are simply too thick.

This underpaid works quite well for my area rug I wanted to lay on top of the wall to wall carpet in the living room seems to hold both the area rug in place very well, we did have to get tape to hold down the edges as well. With this done, the carpet stays in place, no shifting, no curling of the edges. This underpaid was also a great price! I’m very happy with this purchase.

We recently bought a rug for our dartboard and it wouldn't stay straight and would bunch up. We tried some Velcro and it was going to be pricey to get enough to hold the whole thing down. This pad works awesome. Rug no longer moves while playing darts.

Keeping rug flat. Does as advertised.More instructions would be good.

Works very well. Used it for my 9x12 rug on top of wall to wall carpeting and in the kids rooms with smaller 3x3 sports shaped rugs on top of wall to wall carpeting. I find if you apply once and set in the proper place and leave alone - then it will give you the best results. If you keep adjusting placement you will lose the tackiness on the back to keep your rug in place.

Does work, but some carpets still move.
