Review on Double-Sided Carpet Tape For Indoor Use By IPG, 1.88 Inches X 36 Yards (2-Pack) by Mike Campbell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazingly Effective

This stuff works exactly, and even better, as advertised.I first used it in a traditional application - securing the front door rug to the wood floor it sits on. Even using a grip pad under it, the rug would curl up any time someone opened the door, or slide across the floor if you didn't watch your step. I thought "this should help." And sure enough, it did. I can vacuum on top of this rug and it does not move.Then I thought, hey, let me stick this on the corners of the rug. We have ugly rental carpet and our solution is to purchase the largest rugs possible, and have them layered on top of the carpet. They are giant, so they usually have no problem staying put, but the corners were getting kicked up from time to time, and now with this, they're secure. This stuff grips to other carpet like you wouldn't believe, but when I did a test to make sure it wouldn't ruin it, it pulled up with a bit of force. But you would have to really, really try to get it up vs. accidentally moving it.Finally, the ultimate test. The rug underneath my desk. It is a smaller 3x5 rug and with my rolling desk chair, it was getting all sorts of bunched up and twisted. Not anymore! I ran this along the outer perimeter of the rug & pad, and made a big "X" with it across the center and problem solved. No more movement.Seriously fascinating how strong this tape is. You won't be disappointed in its performance.

Pros
  • Provides a professional, neat and tidy appearance to carpets – without any unpleasant bumps or bubbles
Cons
  • The tape may not be strong enough to prevent carpet buckling or wrinkling
