XFasten Double Sided Carpet Tape - Heavy Duty 2” x 5 yds, 1” Core Carpet Tape for Area Rugs Over Carpet, Keep Rug in Place, Double Sided Rug Tape Hardwood Floor, Laminate, Tile

works as advertised. my carpet no longer slides around with dogs running in and out. I have not tried to remove it from the wood floor but I am confident that will not be a problem. The directions on the package were helpful and it easily was applied . we have not had any issues with it coming up with roomba or other vacuuming of the taped carpet area. I will purchase this exact product again and i recommend this item.

It’s worked perfect on the items I wanted to secure. I have a couple rugs one at my front door and a runner down the front hallway that my crazy one year old kitties love to crumble up! My I bought the tape about a month ago and the rugs are still in place. I have a 6’ tall light weight Christmas tree in my living room that my kitties are always trying to climb, so I taped the stand to floor trying to secure it since the beginning of December till now and it is still standing!

This tape is relatively easy to use. However, my rug shifted after installation causing a portion of the tape adhesive to be revealed. It is NOT easy to remove. It took me about 30 minutes of scraping with a plastic putty knife to remove less than a foot of it. If you are willing to spend a lot of time, you can remove all the residue. I think when I leave here I'm going to leave the rug rather than spend hours removing the residue.

We previously bought this brand of tape a few months ago to hold the area rug in place for our dinning room and it does excellent job! This time we are ordering another roll to hold our large area rug in the living room. No more frequent rearranging the rug after it slip and shift around the carpeted floor. We love it and it is a sanity saver tape!

Works better when applying on hardwood or tile floors, not good when applying throw rugs to carpet.

Worked fabulous holding an 8x10 rug over carpet.

This tape is way better than the other carpet "tape" I've used before which was thicker and therefore didn't keep the rugs as close to my floor as I'd like, and this other "tape" wasn't able to stick to my new rugs because of the rubber textured bottoms (the other tape doesn't have a solid adhesion surface -- meaning it is a mesh-like tape with large holes between the sticky strings that are weaved together to make it into a carpet tape). The XFasten Double Sided Carpet Tape is much more desirable and effective, and it does a fabulous job of keeping my rugs in place. I've had absolutely no movement or slippage of the rugs. The tape has been reliably secure for over a month and a half now. I'm glad I read the questions and reviews before trying to use the product, though, because just as most people have found, it is pretty difficult to separate the backing from the tape. To make it easier, I chose to get a corner started of each piece (using a box-cutter/utility knife) and folded it back underneath itself (please see my submitted pictures) BEFORE putting the tape on the rug. Then when it was time to stick the rug with the tape to my floor, it was super easy and simple to peel off the tape's backing. The only other thing I should note about my experience, is that I have yet to attempt to remove the rugs and the tape from the floor. Based on my previous experience with the above-mentioned first carpet tape I've purchased before this product, however, there definitely was residue and some damage to the hardwood floors in my last apartment when I moved out. This makes me feel pretty certain (especially because this tape is so much stronger/stickier) that there will undoubtedly be at least residue (but I'm not terribly worried because I plan on having Goo-Gone on hand). In conclusion, I recommend this carpet tape as long as you keep two things in mind, be proactive about being successful at taking the backing off, and I highly suggest you might want to consider using a small piece with the floor you'll be using it on -- in a small, inconspicuous spot -- to test for adverse reactions regarding removal of the product.

Good price, but good heavens is this tape difficult to peel. I was only taping the corners of one side of my carpet so I would still be able to roll up one side to vacuum underneath and because I have a carpet pad underneath the carpet, I had a bit of trouble at first. Because the tape is so sticky and the non sticky layer is so hard to peel away from the sticky layer, I ended up taping the carpet pad first and then taping the carpet corners over that. When I initially tried to tape both layers at one time, I was having all kinds of trouble. Once I figured out how to just use the scissors to start the peeling process as I was cutting off each section, I managed to get it done without too much issue. All in all this is excellent tape, it did not damage my wood flooring when I had to pull it up when I messed up my first attempt, and the end results look great. My carpets and carpet pads are nicely secured with no curling edges.

Hat alles schnell und gut geklappt.Entsprach voll meinen Erwartungen.

Keeps rugs from sliding on tile floors

I did a ton of research and looked at a lot of reviews for double sided carpet tape for use on rugs over carpet and this one came out on top. Works pretty well, used about 2 rolls to hold down a big 10x7 rug on carpet and it pretty much stays put. A couple wrinkles from foot traffic but I dont think there’s any getting away with that with such a large rug.

I used the carpet tape to fix a mat on top of the carpet one week ago. So far it's stayed in place. The next test will be when the grandkids come over. It was a bit difficult to cut the tape because it was quite sticky. Have not tried to remove it so am unable to give it an accurate score.

Love this tape. Wish I’d known about it years ago. Holds my floor rugs in place very well.
