- I once did a guest post for Prepography about prepper related things I learned while working in a prison. Today’s post on How to Stop Rugs from Slipping is another tip I learned from a felon.
While digging through the Martha Stewart website doing research for an entrepreneur class I was taking I saw her give a tip to use beads of latex calk every 6 inches or so along the edges of a run to make it non-slip.

My rug moves just when I look at it. I think I have telekinesis.
😂🤣
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Rugs slipping on carpet makes me crazy! CRAZY! Thanks Man, you're the best.
That's genius , if it works , it's seems like it should , the mats don't really work . This makes good sense and if you already have mats may help make them effective . Gonna try , never seen this technique but it really seems brilliant and CHEAP which I love.
We have a rug that moved all the time! Under a coffee table, dogs getting excited when we get home and it bunching it up. Husband was always stubbing toe on it. This has been a wonderfully fix.
Dude, thank you. The calk gathers in the pile & I love it. You are the man!
"but the wife does and thats okay"...yep the sacrifices we make!
because of this video, I went and got silicone sealer, applied it, and waited 24 hours. I've had it in place for about two weeks and the silicone is beginning to come off of the bottom of the rug. So, it won't stay on for a long time.
100% aquarium silicone might be a better option. Various chalking with silicon are not that adhesive. Aquarium silicone sticks
And RUclips for the win! Thanks for sharing this tip.
RIGHT!
Very sturdy, and easy to clean.Excellent product
thank you soooo much. my rug will not stay put this looks like a perfect solution.
This is a great idea but you never stated how long you let the silicon sit for before putting the rug back in place. Thank you
Yes he did..til it cures..read the label to see how long
Thank u so so much.. My toddler kept tripping and came millimeters from busting her head open on the glass coffee table.. Spent $200 on other solutions that never worked.. Tried this and it has been a month and still no bunching..
I used acrylic caulk tho that my brother in law had on hand.
Please replace your glass coffee table while you have toddlers in the house! In fact, replace it until all toddlers are grown up, moved out, and raising their own toddlers!
@@MrAlebarjr Even then they aren't safe. You now have to worry about the Grand Kids 😳
Ok karen
I have a 5 X 7 shag rug that was bunching up so badly with a heavy coffee table on top that I was tripping over it daily. This worked BIG TIME for me!
I did cross hatching like a parquet floor in 6 inch squares with Clear Acrylic Silicone in a caulking gun for maximum coverage. It took about four bottles (about 12 bucks) to cover, but it was worth it. Cheaper than a non-skid pad. GREAT TRICK!
rubber chicken is this still working?
Tried your tip on my two rugs. it did not move for a week. It started moving as usual after a week and a half :(
Thanks so much for this tip! Going to do it today
Wont the silicone damage the carpet interesting idea
my rug left me,,, i'm devastated
It would be SO useful if you had included some idea of drying time!
Mine took 2 days to dry and after i put it back it started moving again all my hard work went in vein ☹
I used double sided carpet tape. It stuck to my wall to wall carpet so bad I have a horrible mess I can't get it off.🤬
@@Bill-dw5wk soap and water?
My rug is stuck to the floor i used liquid nails and my rug is stuck to my carpet well the wife can not move it every week
Thanks Dave!
He’s living in the doghouse with the carpet now lol!
I stay there
I’ve been interrogating my kids on “who moved the rug?!” 🤦🏽♀️
This made me laugh. Alot😆🤣
I bought double sided carpet tape and what a mess it made. Stuck to my wall to wall and I can't get it off now?
Did not work at all
the beads came and stuck to the carpet after a week or too- not a good tip sorry
You can also use a hot glue gun as well and it dries faster as well, but the glue sticks can get costly if you need a bunch depending n the size of yer rug. The silicon tube definitely more cost effective for bigger projects. TY
ha didnt think of that and ive got a glue gun, thanks.
Hot glue isn't designed to be flexible after drying/cooling, it will likely crumble over time and make a mess. Definitely worth buying a cheap tube of silicone and not wasting glue sticks.
yeah, i did this and it didnt work. rug still moves
bronco devil USE ACRYLIC CAULK NOT SILICON.
AND DO THE ENTIRE RUG IN LINES ABOUT 2-3 inches APART. That’s what I did and it worked great
Let it set for 24 hrs before turning the rug over
YT information can be spot on or give you just enough into to be dangerous
How can I fix the kitchen floor rugs that are washable?
What happens when you decide to get rid of the rug?
Wondering if latex sealant will work equally as well?
How long do we let it dry? Does this work on smaller rugs and can I wash a rug with the silicone in the washer? Have more questions, wish you could elaborate.
Caution. I have tried this method and it does NOT work for me.
Great idea! Definitely a good idea to let all the "Blondes" know to let it dry before they flip the rug over....
😂
I saw it move 😔
Silicon or silicone, because they are not even close to being the same thing.
What brand of silicon sealant did anyone use?
It moved he he
Nice one'!
What about spray silicone...??
This idea sure seems like it would ruin your carpet because the silicone is now dried into the carpet. When you remove the rug, the carpet is going to look like hell.
wait 24 hours, dude
...let the silicon dry first....🤦♀️
Tim it's called a little common sense. 🥺
Lol tim you loon
I tried this it did not work for me
My guess is you don’t live with your Wife I assume because u said you didn’t tell her about it, she didn’t notice the carpet rolled back with the silicone drying for a day lmfao! 😂 You probably could’ve left that little whopper out of the video my man, But it’s a good idea I’ll definitely try some CLEAR silicone
Tried this.... doesnt work!
'don't mess with the wife's rug!'
Add silicon, didn’t say what brand worked for him . And didn’t say how long do you let it SIT ? So it doesn’t stick to the carpet on the floor . This is what I call incomplete information. Silly
Would have loved to see your wife's reaction to your nifty idea !
They sell rug skids
@@22kmclaren but you will ruin the rugs underneath
I bought the skid pads and the carpet still moves.
but they don't work
Crap.Doesnt work
4 nails
Carpet on carpet!? You people live like rich crazy folks. ;)
hi Zom
. I moved to a place with carpet. the last apartment had none. I want to protect the new carpet from cat puke
it was $100. US 7×10 at Costco and another under $100. US dollars from Kmart. it is sliding and buckles. bummer for me
Sharon Barry You deal with cat puke too. Ugh. Love my old cat but she does this daily now she won't use her litter box either! I'm about to lose it. I have to buy rugs to save my good carpet too.
We have rugs down to protect the carpet (rental home) from 2 kids and 2 dogs. :)
No, I'm not doing that on my hand knotted Persian rug!
and who asked you to do it. no one cares
What the actual fuck???
Yeah sure, I did exactly like you said wasted my time and money as my rug still moves like before....you can scrap your video. what a let down.
my rug watched Aladdin 🪄and now wants to fly around my room!
