Any Suggestions for Stopping rug "creep"

WiseOldBird_2

Any help appreciated to stop my rugs 'creeping' on the carpet. I've tried the double-sided sticky white sheets - they do help a little, but in another way it looks worse, because when the rug starts to creep, you can see the white sticky sheet and it looks worse than ever. I keep having to readjust the rugs a couple of times a day!

Any suggestions? (that won't harm either the carpet or the rugs!).

Thanks.

What about this:

I use these on my parquet floors,but I'm sure it would work with carpets.

or the rubbery strips to stop draughts from windows... stick to underside of rug.. no slippy....

creeping rugs on carpet.. the crispy side of velcro works.. it kind of velcros to the carpet.

Doesn't that 'velcro' effect make the carpet pull?

I share this pain too - always blame the dog!! My ex next-door-neighbour used to say it was the vibration of the washing machine that made the rugs move - use to make me laugh anyway.

Thanks to everyone who contributed! I think the Ikea solution sounds like what I've already got down. At least it's not expensive. Velcro and rubbery thing from B&M don't sound too expensive either so I'll give them a go and report back!

Lakeland used to do a superb double sided tape which I used for a long time, but last time a bought a roll they'd changed it and it no longer worked.

Ta again!:D

I got the rubbery thing from Home Bargains and I'm sure it was only £1.99. It works really well as we have a large doo-lally dog lol, and when he's in madcap mood it doesn't move at all.
