This is solely a review for area rug to carpet adhesion. I swear I never write reviews and this has taken away an oddly major frustration in my life so effectively I felt compelled to leave this review.We have high pile carpet in all our bedrooms, and when I was decorating our nursery I decided (based on all my Pinterest surfing) that it would be cute to have an area rug over the carpet in the room. This resulted in 4 months of us constantly adjusting the carpet after it wriggled it’s way up and down the room, bunching up in weird formations causing me to trip in the middle of the night with baby (terrible!!). I would literally straighten up the rug and reposition it perfectly, only to come back 2 hours later to the rug laying off center, diagonal, and all bunched up. You’re probably wondering why I didn’t just get rid of the rug - I’m not totally sure, but it just added a certain pizazz to the room, and for some reason I wasn’t willing to give that up, to the chagrin of my husband.In an effort to address this issue of the roving rug, I purchased multiple rug pads and rug tape, to no avail. It felt like it was no better than without anything to hold the rug down. I realized how wrong I was about that when I threw out the last rug pad in a fit of frustration. It was definitely worse without anything to hold it down, but nothing ACTUALLY held the rug in place with no bunching.Enter this carpet tape. Buying this was my Hail Mary, but I was not at all optimistic because all the items I had purchased were advertised as working for rugs on carpets, and obviously none of them actually did. And here I am 2 weeks later and my rug has NOT MOVED. OR BUNCHED. AT ALL. I didn’t realize how much the messed up rug was bothering me until this tape fixed it. Now every time I enter the room I just feel so satisfied.A couple insignificant annoyances about the tape (I repeat, these are INSIGNIFICANT because the product WORKS LIKE A CHARM): the backing of the tape takes a little finesse to peel off; I didn’t follow the instructions and cut the tape with scissors like an idiot, and now my scissors will probably have sticky residue on them forever; the sides of the roll are SUPER sticky and so the plastic wrap that the tape roll was wrapped in was really tough to get off. Like I said - all these details are insignificant, because this tape actually works!!! Definitely buy it. You won’t regret it.tl;dr if you’re looking for something to secure your ever moving area rug to carpet, look no further. This tape works. Buy it.
