What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this rug tape's performance. Many praise its ability to prevent slipping on laminate, vinyl, and tile floors, reporting rugs stay firmly in place even with pets and foot traffic. However, a substantial group expresses frustration over misleading advertising—the tape is single-sided, not double-sided as implied. Performance is inconsistent: it works well on textured rugs and smooth floors but fails on hardwood and low-pile rugs. Some report adhesive weakens over time. Despite mixed results, many who apply it correctly on suitable surfaces find it effective.

Would Not RecommendI applied this to several rugs and it just started shredding and peeling off.
Rug still moves and is not safe.
Would Not RecommendI bought this to help keep my rug from slipping. I placed the tap 3" apart from end to end and it didn't work. Very disappointed and a waste of money and time.
RV Owners Delight
Would RecommendI saw this product and thought I would give it a try in our motor home to keep things on our table when traveling. I have a large heavy basket that I keep salt and pepper shakers, candy, napkins, games etc. I put this on the bottom of the basket. Over 1500 miles and this basket has never moved. I keep looking for more. I never go to a big box or store without looking for it. I love, love, love it. Hot or cold weather, it holds my basket firmly in place.

Read the Specifications!
Would RecommendI love this stuff- I use it all over the house. It is NOT double sided tape- it has adhesive to stick to your rug on one side and a friction foam on the other. If you have hardwood, concrete, etc. it will work SO well without being stuck to (or leaving residue on) your floor. I use it for my front door mat, on area rugs on my carpet, and for my dock. Good stuff if you read and understand the description.
Works great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a runner in my hallway that’s slides so this works great keeping the runner in place. This is easy to install and placing it on the hardwood floors.

So far so good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product with just enough stick and it's all one big piece so that you can cut it in the shape or size needed. I cut a couple of corners out to use on a small rug and so far so good! Highly recommended!

Duck Brand for secure Rugs
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hold-It rug holder by Duck Brand does a superb job of holding your rugs in place. It has awesome gripping power even on laminate, which can get so slippery. This product will make you feel so much safer about those rugs on your floor. Really love this product and will be getting more for the other large rug that I have. I highly recommend this product. It certainly stands up to be another great product from Duck Brand!!

Works okay
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We pick this up for our rug runner that goes across our hardwood floor that our dog likes to run and jump on and slide across the floor, figured this might help keep it in 1 area instead of always being bunched up, got it put multiple strips on the rug and went to put it down and at first did not want to stick to well because of the waxes we used on our floor,we had to clean the wax off in the areas where we wanted the tape to be, after that it...

Worked great!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a rug that had been rolled up for a few months so the edges would stick up causing me and my family to constantly trip. These rug stickers worked great keeping the edges down.

Works great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nothing bugs me more than to have a sliding carpet on my hard wood. Got these guys and they work well holding my carpet under my dining table in place. The tape doesn’t leave a residue on my floor. Easy to apply and install

No more slips
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wife and I put a runner rug in the kitchen leading out the house and you had to watch how fast you turned the corner on the thing or you would wind up on your bum. After my third tumble I had to go out to the store to pick up some hold it. Boy does this stuff stick, no more tumbles on the runner when you are out the door in a hurry!

Tape
Would RecommendReturned not what I needed
Easy and affordable
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We weren’t sure if we wanted to purchase a mat for underneath our rug, or simply purchase something to keep it in place. We got this as an option and so far they’re working well. I would recommend giving these a shot.

Must have!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely a must have if you have hard floors with rugs. I was having problems with some of my rugs slipping and getting a bit crooked so I tried this and Viola` issue is gone! Try it and you will see the difference too!!

Crazy!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s crazy how well this works! We have a rug in our halllway that will NOT stay put! I’ve tried everything…but these things do exactly what they say! They HOLD IT!!

Does ok
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on the bottom of my rug in the corners as it instructed to do for smaller rugs and honestly it didnt last very long before it fell off. It doesn't stick if on a carpet or rug that gets damp regularly.

Awesome
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this hold it for my entryway rug. It is about the size of a welcome mat, so it fits it perfectly. Our rug used to slide around on people, which is dangerous. But it doesn't do that anymore. Great product.

I may have used the wrong size
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this to use under a rug and it doesn’t seem to work at all. It’s smaller than the rug I’m using it for, so that may be why it doesn’t stay in place, just doesn’t seem like it grips the floor enough.

A little Different Holdings
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a few weeks ago and finally got time to use them. I was a little confused at first and then realized that the strips do not stick to the floor only the rug. The strips are a rubber compound and stop rug from slipping. Great idea because you can pick up rug easily when you want to wash underneath.
