YYXLIFE Double Sided Carpet Tape for Area Rugs & Hardwood Floors, 2" x10YD

Update as of 8/2/25: I've just raniut of my 3rd roll and I'm ordering another. I will say if you can get a pair of non-stick scissors, or use an agent that will discourage sticking like powder, lite lube, or even oil, it will be easier to cut or even use razors to cut it. It would be nice if this tape were perforated for easy tearing, while still allowing for customization of the tape piece itself. And I recently did have an issue with trying to reposition the tape this time, as it started pulling up a vinyl tile piece. But it can be easily removed with oil or soap and water. I purchased and received as gifts loose rugs with no thick or rubber backing, with silicone beading on one set. However, when I would go to try to vacuum either, even with the hose--it was tiresome and flung dust and debris in the air. I tried on tape and though it worked on my Dollar Tree pet mats (the small, rubber bottomed ones with sayings on them), it did nothing for the backless ones. I have a Shark vac, and if you own one you know the suction power it has. With my back issues, I was determined to find a carpet tape that held on for dear life lol. THIS ONE IS IT!! I just bought a 2nd roll, and have been letting all know who have issue with their carpets moving to try this one out! St about 1-11/2I in. wide, t is a thin, durable carpet tape that does come off the floor with minor force (i have vinyl floors) and the rugs with ease. I can say the other pulled up the tile lol, but that's no fault of that tape. As someone who was able to INSTANTLY vacuum our the throw carpets with ease (I could sense my vacuums defeat lol), and now don't have to hand vac them, or shake the off to attempt to get all of the diet out of rug (no vac is perfect, but it's much cheaper easier to clean when you can enjoy the process, and not dread it!) Awesome tape, and highly recommened!! Note: It says to use a knife to cut the tape, but I found that my scissors worked just fine, and even stuck less and was easier to cut the tape with. Just have a dedicated use for them, like office, or workshop. Though the adhesive does remove fairly easy with soap, to be save I wouldn't use any scissors that come into contact w/food ;)

Great tape! It sticks well to my large area rug when I thought it wouldn’t stick to the woven material. It’s easy to cut with a blade. Slice gently and it pulls right off. The pain was getting the second paper backing off. If I cut very gently with the blade on a corner and pulled off only the paper, I could get the rest off easily. There are also cuts on the paper you can use if they’re in the right spot, too. Great stuff. I love not seeing my rug corners curled up anymore!

Short story, my husband is bedridden as of 6mo ago. We came home in Dec, its just he and I, a couple of physically broken to various degrees Gen X'ers... Currently he's winning. I have to be able to pull him to either side of the bed and roll him over multiple times a day, and apparently more than two cheap plastic wheel locks that break and send pieces flying the first time they're expected to do anything, that wouldn't hold a crib in place, is considered excessive by insurance. After nearly putting myself in the hospital when bed and large man ran me over on multiple occasions because it wouldn't stay in place, the dme company finally tells me "your supposed to buy wheel coasters"... Nice of you to tell me, yes it probably should have been obvious but I'm still trying to cope with almost losing him suddenly and everything else that has meant, and I'm not exactly at my sharpest mentally. So, I bought the things you put under furniture wheels, and they worked... For about a month. Then the bed pressure against the tiny 1/2" bendy walls on those things suddenly gave, and the bed is coming at me knocking me over again. Nurse tells me, buy a shag area rug, deep enough the wheels sink in, that will keep it in place, we're both getting to old to keep trying to lift a bed with a large man in it every day - and he's right, so I do. Problem solved, the bed hasn't moved since. BUT - there's always a but - he has to be gotten out of the bed with a hoyer lift every other day at least, and now the rug poses a new problem, because insurance forbid they give a hoyer that steers or is relatively easy to handle... No, when shopping carts finally get put out to pasture because all four wheels are shot and clunking or dragging in different directions, they apparently get reincarnated into hoyer lift wheels so older humans with herniated discs, bad knees and hips, and a messed up ankle can have something to cuss at. And it absolutely will not roll over the rug edge. So now we're lifting a hoyer leg with a man who barely fits in the sling swinging from it. Nurse says he's bringing a carpet knife next time and cutting the center section out of my rug. I don't want that, because I'm finding having the rug under my feet also seems to be giving my feet more stability when I'm maneuvering hubby. Carpet tape to the rescue. I read the reviews on a few, and settled on this one. And the reviews were real, because this stuff has held the carpet firm to the floor where the hoyer goes right up over it. Finally, FINALLY, perhaps one of the hundred crazy issues that go with taking care of a bedridden loved one at home, is solved. 99 left to go. If you need a rug to stay in place, buy this stuff.

We bought this for the rugs in our basement. we have concrete floors and this tape is holding strong. It survived several teenage boys wrestling around on the rugs and it didn't budge. I found that it was easiest to cut a strip and stick it to the rug first and then pull the backing off to stick the rug to the floor. I would definitely repurchase this tape.

Have tried various tapes to keep my rugs in place with often disappointing results. This tape so far has faired very well. It’s a good product at a reasonable price. So far the rugs have remained in place now for months.

**To save anyone reading this some time, this review is about how to get this off a carpet mostly... Great Sticky Product though! With that out of the way... I got a new rug for the living room to go on top of the existing carpeted floor but the rug kept "sliding forward" towards the entertainment center even though the side furthest away from the entertainment center is underneath the legs of the sofa/recliner where I sit. It seems to creep forward due to sitting/standing-up in the sofa and the reclining motion. After the 3rd day the rug is bunching up against the entertainment center. After moving it back its bunched up again after day 3. I looked up "double sided tape to hold carpet to carpet" on Amazon and I made the mistake and only briefly glanced at reviews and the ones I read said something about "it holds carpet to carpet, works great, and is easy to come off, no residue". I missed the ones about its very, very hard to remove. After peeling back the paper and putting it on the carpet I realized this would NOT be easy to come off. I re-read the Amazon reviews, and well, hindsight is 20/20..... If this stayed on the carpet with weight on top over time I think this stuff might only be able to be cut off with a razor taking a lot of carpet fiber with it. I decided to remove it and looked online for the best method and I found some people used oil/grease remover with a brush with very mixed results. Some tried using a clothes steamer again with mixed results. I did find one guy using brown packing paper laid on top of the tape (sans rug on top) and using a iron for ironing clothes on very low heat to press on top of the paper, but to keep moving back and forth, not leaving it in one space for long (kind of like ironing clothes) and peeling back the brown paper and the sticky residue comes off the carpet and sticks on the brown paper. I did this and it worked exactly like the video. I kept moving the iron back and forth holding the brown paper with one hand slowly lifting and all of it came off (took about 8-10 minutes for a 12 foot strip), EXCEPT for an invisible super thin layer of stickiness. I have not removed that but instead laid the rug on top where it was originally going to go and hopefully this residue will hold it. When that rug is removed some adhesive will still be on the carpet which anything walking/rolling on top will over time leave a track. IMO the remaining adhesive will only come off using some type of adhesive remover or paint/oil/gas remover type product.

The only way this tape can be called removable is in the sense that you will be on your hands and knees scraping and applying adhesive remover in multiple layers to get it off. I will say the rug underneath never budged, even through multiple people coming and going, dogs playing on it, and vacuuming. It also didn’t stick to the rug at all when I pulled it off but it was absolutely one of the most difficult adhesives I’ve ever removed. It took three single bladed razors and three layers/applications of adhesive remover to get it off. It gets a 5 for adhesion and a 1 for ease of removability.

It works so well and is easy to use. I put it under my mom's carpets as she has used walkers and rollaters. I then added it to several of mine. Now when my dog runs for the toy she doesn't slide into home base and take everything with her. I haven’t tried taken it off the floor to see if there is any damage. I will do that and report back.
