XFasten Carpet Tape for Hardwood Floors 2”x10yds No Residue Rug Tape Hardwood Floor, Strong Double Sided Carpet Tape Heavy duty Rug Tape for Area Rugs on Carpet Adhesive Tape for Rugs to Stay in Place

This tape is way better than the other carpet "tape" I've used before which was thicker and therefore didn't keep the rugs as close to my floor as I'd like, and this other "tape" wasn't able to stick to my new rugs because of the rubber textured bottoms (the other tape doesn't have a solid adhesion surface -- meaning it is a mesh-like tape with large holes between the sticky strings that are weaved together to make it into a carpet tape). The XFasten Double Sided Carpet Tape is much more desirable and effective, and it does a fabulous job of keeping my rugs in place. I've had absolutely no movement or slippage of the rugs. The tape has been reliably secure for over a month and a half now.I'm glad I read the questions and reviews before trying to use the product, though, because just as most people have found, it is pretty difficult to separate the backing from the tape. To make it easier, I chose to get a corner started of each piece (using a box-cutter/utility knife) and folded it back underneath itself (please see my submitted pictures) BEFORE putting the tape on the rug. Then when it was time to stick the rug with the tape to my floor, it was super easy and simple to peel off the tape's backing.The only other thing I should note about my experience, is that I have yet to attempt to remove the rugs and the tape from the floor. Based on my previous experience with the above-mentioned first carpet tape I've purchased before this product, however, there definitely was residue and some damage to the hardwood floors in my last apartment when I moved out. This makes me feel pretty certain (especially because this tape is so much stronger/stickier) that there will undoubtedly be at least residue (but I'm not terribly worried because I plan on having Goo-Gone on hand).In conclusion, I recommend this carpet tape as long as you keep two things in mind, be proactive about being successful at taking the backing off, and I highly suggest you might want to consider using a small piece with the floor you'll be using it on -- in a small, inconspicuous spot -- to test for adverse reactions regarding removal of the product.

easy to use. good stick

Thia carpet tape works pretty well but can be really tough to cut. Definitely leaves sticky residue on scissors. Overall it does keep rugs in place if you use enough

Good price, but good heavens is this tape difficult to peel. I was only taping the corners of one side of my carpet so I would still be able to roll up one side to vacuum underneath and because I have a carpet pad underneath the carpet, I had a bit of trouble at first. Because the tape is so sticky and the non sticky layer is so hard to peel away from the sticky layer, I ended up taping the carpet pad first and then taping the carpet corners over that. When I initially tried to tape both layers at one time, I was having all kinds of trouble. Once I figured out how to just use the scissors to start the peeling process as I was cutting off each section, I managed to get it done without too much issue.All in all this is excellent tape, it did not damage my wood flooring when I had to pull it up when I messed up my first attempt, and the end results look great. My carpets and carpet pads are nicely secured with no curling edges.

If you don't live in a home with lots of fur/hair on the floor and without an active dog maybe it might work a little better. It does help the carpet stick down a little bit; but as soon as the tape gets any hair/dirt/fur on it, it looses all of its stickiness.

we laid an area rug on top of carpet a month ago. I wanted tape to stabilize the edges and prevent ripples and curling. I ordered this tape by mistake but used it anyway. So far so good.

Horrible. So sticky you can’t control it while trying to cut it getting on rug and floor. Hard to cut kept bunching up so threw a lot away. Wouldn’t recommend

I love this tape! So i have a rug that I love but slips everywhere and my robot cleaner always tried to eat the edges. This tape under the edge is perfect! No slip, no vacuum mishaps. Pulled it up after a year to clean everything and make changes, tape removed from the LVP floor with no issues-no residue, no damage. Love so much all my rugs have a piece along the edges.
