(Part 2) Best rug pads according to redditors

Put some gripper (shelf liner) below your flux. If that doesn't work, get piece of plywood slightly larger than your flux, tape gripper around the edges, and then also put gripper on the carpet.

Find gripper roll that works best in your situation - https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Grip-Original-Available-Protection/dp/B00MEYZZXW/

Also check if the ones for the drawers works better for you instead of carpet ones - https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Grip-Original-Non-Adhesive-Cabinets/dp/B07D9T39QG/

You'll also want to like "fold over" and have like two layers of the stuff.

(I don't use any of the above brands. You can also try with dollar store.)

Under a rug (a large rug). It also improves the sound in the room.

Also, I recommend a good rug pad, as it will protect the floor (some rugs can scratch hardwood finishes) and provide a nice soft surface for the speaker wire to lay on.

Look for Rug anchors. Home Depot and Osh have them. Depending on the size of the rug, you may want to get the corner type.

I use these and they work well, but that's just for a hallway and on Pergo:

If she gets a rug, definitely make sure she puts a carpet pad like this under it. Not only will it insulate against noise, but it will help with tumbling and bumping of heads. :)

But, in general, during daylight hours she should be totally 100% allowed to make whatever amount of noise she wants, within reason. But "after hours" (which is usually defined by the landlord, HOA, etc.) she has to be respectful. So, she only needs to worry during that time - usually around 9pm to 9am (which is probably around the time her kids sleep, conveniently).

Somehow I think you would be better off with a regular large area rug (or several smaller ones) sitting on top of the carpet. Although, it looks like there are some pet resistant rugs too. The one in the link is like a long floor tile, you can put a few together.

Also, here's a few plastic carpet protector products:

and
another one

I think it is this product or one like it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MFRWQA8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_tjdCzbGMSZSM9

This is the kind of rug pad you want for hardwood. It's mostly to make your rugs cushier, but it also helps if they have a scratchy backing like some do or if any debris gets under the rug.

Hmmm, you could add the carpet grip backing like this to help the kitty and others keep traction on the stairs

Is it maybe possible to stretch the carpet out flat and use some of that double sided carpert to carpet tape to keep it taunt? Something like this:

You guys laugh but I am ordering that shit off Amazon right now.

What LockoutTagout said.

I used to display my collection by buying those cheap little desk drawers, I'd line them with that rubber carpet pads .

Now I use spyderco's spyderpacs. I hang them up on nails using the few loops that the pacs have. Then I just place the knives inside. Nice little wall decoration. :)

You need a reversible rug pad, easy fix! Felt side on carpet, rubber side on rug (don't get the thin rubber ones you see at Target).

you can find it at walmart or target in a variety of colors and it works on any surface, i even use it on my pedals which are sitting on carpet.

Carpet grippers stuck on the underside.

Something like this, although you can get them cheaper from eBay:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ANR1GYY/ref=psdc_3028556031_t1_B005Y3DE5G

Buy a perforated non-slip pad/placemat from your local discount store for 99 cents to 2 dollars.

or if you're lazy, buy it on amazon/target/walmart for 9 bucks (overpriced, imo)

I'd really like these Non-Slip Rug Pads. My house is completely hardwood floors and my rugs slide everywhere. These would make my life a lot better, and safer.

Thank you for the contest. $100 is a lot to give out!

I have also used these from time to time.

they also work pretty good and are inexpensive but don’t hold quite as well. They also start to break down pretty quickly.
I have also used Rocklers bench cookies and they also work but they do wear out as well.
For some reason I keep coming back to the stupid tape trick. It can be a pain to get off sometimes because it sticks almost too well.
