Rug Pad Care & FAQs

Sizing Tips

Rug pads should be sized slightly smaller than your rug (about 1–2 inches on each side) so they stay hidden while providing the best grip, comfort, and floor protection. Trim-to-fit pads make it easy to get a perfect custom fit at home. For runners and high-traffic areas, keeping the pad fully tucked underneath helps prevent slipping and curling at the edges. Always choose the right pad material for your floor type, room function, and door clearance to ensure the best fit and performance.

Installation

Rug pad installation is quick and easy. Simply place the pad on a clean floor, center it evenly so it sits 1–2 inches inside the rug edges, and lay the rug on top. Trim off any excess padding if needed to keep the pad hidden and help prevent slipping or curling.

Care & Maintenance

Rug pads are easy to care for, and a little maintenance helps keep them performing as intended.

Unpacking

Rug pads may arrive folded or rolled. Lay flat upon arrival and allow time to relax. For faster flattening, place your rug on top and let gravity do the work. Any temporary creases will smooth out with use.

Cleaning & Long-Term Care

  • Regular Care: Vacuum gently as needed to remove dust and debris.
  • Spills: Spot clean with mild soap and water. Blot dry. Do not soak.
  • Floor Protection: Periodically lift the rug and pad to allow floors to breathe and prevent moisture buildup.
  • Always ensure both the rug pad and floor are completely dry before use to maintain non-slip performance and protect flooring.
