The Strange Case of the Moving Rug.

Hi

One of the first things I bought for the new house was a rug, a big one.

It has happily laid there since the end of August now it has decided to move.

It started 4 days ago, so off I went to Dunelm and got some of the anti slip sticky stuff.

Naff all use, it has simply got worse.

Any ideas?

It is rucked up so much it looks like storm waves on the sea.

Re: The Strange Case of the Moving Rug.

Me too, I've given up, got a loft full of rugs that walk, darn things.

I do have a very large one in my bedroom that doesn't move but I think that's because either it's too heavy or the carpet's very thin, or a combination of both.

I too have tried grippers and tapes etc, all to no avail.

Perhaps it is trying to move out.

Well I be damned, my rug does the same thing, every couple of days I have to kick its arse and take it back to where it lives in the middle of the lounge darn thing.
