Area rug problem

NoodleMom · 01-22-2009, 03:52 PM

I have an area rug in my livingroom and two runners in the hall. The problem is now the corners are curling up. I have tried to duct tape them but they are still curling up. Not only do they not look good but the are a tripping hazard as well.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

We always had area rugs when I was growing up.

I hated them b/c vacuuming them was torture.

I seem to recall rubber pads under them and masking tape at the ends and curling. :/ Sorry, not really helpful.

It hasn't really helped a lot, but sometimes I tuck the upturned corners under for the night, or while I'm a way in the day. It has only been a short-term solution to the curling, though.
