How Do You Cut A Rug Pad?
A rug pad is a great asset in protecting not only your rug, but your floor as well. A rug pad has a rubber back that helps to keep your rug from sliding or wrinkling and makes vacuuming easier. It can reduce the wear and tear on your carpet and helps to absorb impact. Cutting one for your rug is very simple. The best part is that the long-term benefits make it worth the very minimal time you’ll spend doing it. Measure the rug pad to be anywhere from 1 to 3 inches smaller than the rug it will be going under. Using a utility knife or scissors, cut the rug pad to the desired specifications. Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect, it will still work the same. Take the newly cut rug pad and lay it on the floor in the planned location for the rug. Place the rug on top of the rug pad. The rug should now prevent slipping when it is stepped on.
