Mohawk Home 2' x 8' Non Slip Rug Pad Gripper 1/2 Thick Dual Surface Felt + Rubber Gripper - Safe for All Floors

Does what it says on the tin! Good grip non slip & good cushioning. However there is an awful strong smell on the product even after a few weeks leaving it to air but no change, very unpleasant. The manufacturer states that the product is certified by Green Label Plus showcasing top quality products with the lowest chemicals emissions on the market. If this is the case why does it smell so bad. Unfortunately, I will be returning it.

I don't usually write reviews, but as I believe this is a safety issue I felt it was my moral obligation to write it.I ordered several of these Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pads during January and February of 2024. The odor is nauseating. I put them outside during the day to air them out but it didn't help at all. The disgusting smell began to increase throughout my house and I couldn't get the odor to go away. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to run into the bathroom feeling light-headed and nauseous. I reported this directly to Mohawk and I was told they recently had a "bad batch," and they believed the odor was most likely caused by contaminated dye that was added to the latex for color.The smell intensified, especially while my heat was on, so I had a service call with an HVAC/Duct company. He explained that the odor from the rug pads was blown throughout my house when the heat was on and then the return vent sucked up the air sending it back to my heating system which then circulated the horrific-smelling air throughout my entire house. He cleaned and deodorized the HVAC system which helped somewhat, but the smell lingers in my furniture, rugs, blankets, etc. I have been washing everything non-stop and have sprayed Febreze everywhere. I looked back through the Amazon reviews about these Mohawk rug pads and I have found many other people complaining about the dreadful stench, and this goes all the way back to 2020. So the reason given to me by Mohawk for the atrocious odor being caused by a "bad batch" that recently occurred is not only unacceptable but complete hogwash.I contacted the EPA as well as filed a complaint with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission about this issue. It is well known that VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds, are found in many products, including rug pads, and can lead to poor indoor air quality causing numerous issues including respiratory symptoms. VOCs can be carcinogenic to human beings. I have been nauseated, dizzy, and cannot get this sickening odor out of my house. I have tried using strong mouthwash, chewing peppermint gum, and drinking peppermint tea but I cannot get that horrific smell out of my nose or respiratory tract that has come from these disgusting Mohawk rug pads.I am grateful to Amazon for refunding my money for the four Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pads, but I am concerned that nothing was done to resolve the real issue, the safety issue of these rug pads. I recommended to Amazon that they take the rug pads off of their site immediately and I am hopeful that they will. I recontacted Mohawk yesterday, March 18, 2024, via email, sending them the Amazon reviews with odor issues as far back as 2020 and the response I got was, "This was from 2020 and these people might have some kind of "allergy" that make them more sensitive to certain things." They have swept the rug pad odor issue under the rug. No pun intended. I am extremely dissatisfied with Mohawk and will never purchase anything from the company again.

We are using this pad to hold a very large rug in place. The rug is on top of living room carpet and we thought the pad would hold it in place. It doesn’t work well as the rug is thin and still moves around a lot. If the pad were used under different circumstances it would work very well. It is nice and thick and it does stay in place. Our problem is the thin rug on top.

The thickness of this pad is great. It feels wonderful under my rug. However, it is not a non-stop pad. I've had it for more than 6 months now and every month or two I've had to readjust it and move it back into the original place. It slips and moves with usual, daily traffic.

I bought the 1/2 inch rug pad. It makes a big difference in the way my rug feels walking on it. The pad provides a very nice cushion since my rug is very thin. I ordered the 9 x 13 size pad however it is few inches larger than that. A lot of the reviews that I saw before I ordered said it is very hard to cut, which is true as you cannot use a scissor. I used a razor blade tool it made it much easier since it is a layer of felt on top of a thin layer of rubber backing. I am very happy with this purchase. My rug is a few inches bigger than 9 x 13 which worked out well but I still had to cut the pad a couple of inches on all sides so the edges of the rug lay flat on the floor and not on the pad to prevent tripping on the edges of the rug,

These are good for the price. My only issue is that either they or the rugs I purchased were just a little off on sizing and I have to cut them. I had a sharp pair of scissors and I cut one of them and now my scissors are super dull. Package says easy to cut but I did not find that to be true.
