JVL Rug Safe Carpet Gripper for Carpet Floors 60 x 90cm

We use a barrier mat to protect our carpet from the wheels of our home office chair and general wear and tear underneath the desk. However the barrier mat has a life of its own and constantly moves to the left and we are forever moving the chair and readjusting the mat. We recently had a new carpet fitted and this just made things worse. We have tried all kinds of grippers and tapes but none of them worked so as a last resort we thought we would try this 'JVL Rug safe carpet gripper for carpet floors'. We bought the 120 x 180cm so as to cover the whole of the underside of the barrier mat and it was worth every penny. It has been in daily use now for almost a month and the barrier mat has not moved a fraction. So 100% success for us. Brilliant product.

Rubbish and does not work! Rug moves within seconds of application. Do not buy!

Don't bother going to the gym, this is a full body workout! probably like me most people will have to trim to size first then remove the backing,( do not remove backing first as will stick to everything including you). This will nullify your right to return. I have no idea if it works as I'm going for a rest.

Value for money wise, this is a good choice. I have a very fine lightweight rug on a low pile carpet, and this product has gripped well and stopped the movement of the rug almost completely. However, peeling the adhesive backing off the gripper is a two person job for definite- if it sticks to itself during the process it’s a nightmare to undo. Overall this is a good choice for not a big investment. But two pairs of hands are needed to fit it!

So I bought 2 of these after reading the comments. Some guy suggested buying 2 and reversing the contacts of the sticky sides against each other. Did that. Rug doesn’t move at all. Sticky side to carpet and sticky side to rug on top of each other. It’s genius.

I bought this to, obviously, stop my rug moving but unfortunately it didn’t work and when I took the rug and the product up it left my carpet sticky! My cats wouldn’t walk o it because their paws kept sticking! Very disappointed and put it in the bin! Even my vacuum struggled to get past the stickiness!

Does the job

What a waste! I was very confused about how to attach this when I got it, since only one side appeared sticky and was already stuck fast to itself. It was a while before I figured out the other side was a peel away film, this was hard to figure out because it was so hard to get off the film cover! Neither side was sticky enough to stay attached to my carpet whilst I was trying to peel away the film, and I couldn't do it all in one go because it would get stuck to me, itself and every invisible hair in existence! I only got it halfway onto my carpet before I gave up entirely, and it left a horribly sticky mess on my carpet and fingers — even though it didn't stay stuck in place! I don't think it would have secured my carpet well even if I had managed to get this on. Definitely do not get this if you value your carpet or time.

Only lasts for about a week don't waste your money sorry I did.
