June 10, 2022 Update: Tape is still holding after more than 5 years and this is with a walker going over it a dozen or more times each day! Should I be embarrassed that I have not tried to pull it up and deep clean under it? Because I am not there yet... Stand by... May 4, 2021 still holding throughout the COVID quarantining-- with a 2.5-year-old dog, too! July 26, 2020. Still holding in place. April 6, 2019 Update. Still holds as it did the first day. Jan 14, 2018: 8 months into the tape application and it is holding fast in the highest-use area of the house. Sept 13, 2017 update: Three and a half months and it is holding firm. This tape is so great, I am looking for other loose carpets or other uses.

Original review: The sliding carpet problem is over. After YEARS of this bit of a carpet sliding all over, it now stays in place. (Note the frayed edges where the carpets meet. I wonder if there would have been no fraying there, if this carpet tape had been used 40 years ago?) I cut two inches off and affixed to each corner and placed the fringe and edge of the little carpet under the established carpet, and pressed the tape into the wooden floor with my foot. Done. Easy. Still working perfectly after 2 weeks. My kitchen scissors were sharp enough for cutting through the tape. (My scissors edges were worn/dulled, so I had to sharpen my scissors by cutting several strips of some folded-over aluminum foil.) All is well. I'll report back after some months to confirm how well it is still working.

Works on rug to rug which is helpful, however need to use lots of tape for a large rug.

I got this tape to secure my carpet treads on our engineered vinyl floor..My concern was to find a tape which will not leave any residue on the floor when removed.I chose this one for the outstanding reviews it had on Amazon which confirmed that it was easy to remove and did not leave a mess on the floor.

So I went forward with my order and was so pleased with its follow-up by the manufacturer and the explanation he gave on the history of his small business.I t gives you the feeling of a personal connection between you and the producer,which i appreciated.Buying from someone and not from the void...

Anyhow the tape arrived as scheduled , was very easy to cut and place under the treads.I needed to place it only on each corner of them to secure the treads firmly on the floor and after 10 days ,roughly, it holds perfectly .I have to say that, having a very slippery floor for my 110 lbs Bernese mountain dog to enter the apartment and walk comfortably, I needed to find a way to make it safe for her and give a kind of deco accent to the entrance.That's when I thought of carpet treads.I love the result and our dog too.

To sum up .I am very pleased with my order,the follow-ups of the manufacturer,the quality of the tape,the easiness to install it, the way it holds firmly on the floor and as it matters to me ,I feel good to have bought it from a family business and not from one of these huge impersonal companies.

I have been looking for MONTHS for a product to secure area rugs (an 8x12 runner and a 5x8 area rug) to a carpet and I bought this product as a kind of a last resort. It works. It's easy to use, has strong adhesion and is easy to move/remove. And, it's reasonably priced. So why the 4 star rating? The tape really does a 5-star job. The 4 star rating is just a warning to potential buyer that there is probably nothing out there that is removable that will be 100% effective at keeping area rugs secured to carpets, but this tape is about as close to 100% as you're going to get without tacking down or otherwise damaging the carpet. Great product at a great price.

I'm sure this will stick to anything. I have used it on vinyl and carpet with no problems. Easy to remove from rug itself and flooring/carpet as well. Extremely easy to install. Its just a matter of cutting the tape and sticking it to wherever your heart desires. Highly recommend!!
