Non-Walking Door Mats!

We have similar problems with doormats and hearthrugs. It seems to be related to the lie of the pile of the carpet underneath. Not a lot we can do about that!

I’ve had the problem ever since I replaced wool carpets with synthetic ones.

MayBee70: That may be the problem! We had our 25 year old wool carpets replaced 2 years ago. Not the same quality but cheaper as we probably won’t be around to enjoy them as long. I’m thinking of trying to staple the door mat to the floor but it’s concrete underneath the carpet underlay!

I kept buying mats to put in front of the fire but they just slipped around so I stopped using them. Mind you my partner has a wool mat on top of a synthetic carpet in front of his log burner and that stays in place. I use Hug rugs on tiles and they don’t slip. I do like having mats around but they just turn into trip hazards.

Look up John Lewis and put in stuff to keep rug from walking. I have it under all my rugs - they don’t move an inch.

Exactly what WWM2 said.

We have stuff under our rugs that are on tiles in heavy ware area
Never move an inch it must be at least eight years old
Not much help as can’t remember what it’s called or unfortunately where it was from
