Rucked up rugs!!

No rugs in our house…….far too dangerous as all they do is present trip hazards.

My advice??? Get rid of the rugs!

I used to have this problem. But recently my family solved it for me by getting rid of my rugs because they are trip hazards.

I have had to remove my rug which sat on a carpet for the same reason as others, a trip hazard.
However when I did have it I got a piece of “ cloth” from John Lewis, when I bought my rug from them, sold for just the purpose.
It had to be cut to shape but it was perfect.
The rug didn’t move a centimetre, I think it was about £60 but that was some years ago now.
It was excellent.

Yes the answer seems to be getting rid of the rugs . However I love the way rugs look on a plain floor so I put up with them moving daily. It's like a ritual moving them back every day. I took them up to see if I could get used to not having them but it looked so bare I put them back.
The one in the kitchen is ok , the kitchen table is on it and it never moves but then its not on top of carpet of course. Its the carpets that are the problem.

We have two small rugs on top of a fitted will carpet and they constantly ruck up. I’ve tried a special underlay from Amazon which is supposed to prevent this happening but it hasn’t worked. Can anyone recommend an underlay you’ve used for a rug on a carpet and which stops the rug rucking up? Many thanks

I bought mine from Amazon last year (about £30, I think from Rugstore-outlet specifically for a big rug sitting on a carpet) and it's been brilliant.

Got rid of rugs as a tripping hazard when my DH came home from hospital after suffering a stroke, he could only use a walking frame so they got put away. Now he can use a quad stick but can fall over without any rugs in the way so they are staying rolled up under the stairs.
