I haven't had these kitchen rugs for very long.
Lately, they have been losing their traction.
They may or may not get washed a lot.
Not because we have a lot of spills at my house!
Oh, heavens no!!
So instead of shopping for new rugs, I tried to find a temporary solution to the problem.
Silicone...
Just run a bead of silicone down the back of the rugs.
I decided to flatten mine out a bit...
Ta....Da...
A cheap way to salvage a good rug!!
I have used them for a couple of days
and they are staying put!!

That is such a great tip.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I have a couple of rugs I love that I didn't want to part with because they lost their traction. I'm giving this a try. How long did it take for the silicone to dry before you put the carpets back into use?
ReplyDeleteD'Arcy...First of all, I LOVE that you have an apostrophe in your name. I do to and not very many people do!!
ReplyDeleteSecond, I washed the rugs 1st. When completley dry I applied the silicone. I left them overnight, but I think they were dry within a few hours.
i'll be trying this...i have 2 rugs in the kitchen and my dog runs through and messes them up...great idea
ReplyDeleteI had heard that silicone would work, but hated to put it on really nice rugs. Rug pads are a pain. Think I will give it a try. Thanks for testing.
