Rug Pad Corner is considered the online source for quality, earth friendly rug pads. The company differentiates itself from others by refusing to offer any imported plastic rug pads that are common to stores everywhere, These types of rug pads contain chemicals and substances that can damage all floors as well as the environment.

Rug Pad Stuck to Floor

April 26th, 2012

Rug Pads Safe for all Floors
Natural rug pads that do not stick to
the floor. No adhesives-Shop now
www.rugpadcorner.com
One of the most common issues with many rug pads is that they can stick to the floor. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize this has happened until they take the time to lift the area rug to reveal the disaster. This problem of a rug pad stuck to the floor happens because of the use of those popular rug pads with holes in them. While many people think these are rubber, they are actually plastic with adhesives. This combination of plastic and adhesive literally melts itself onto a hardwood, wood, tile or any other hard floor surface.

wd-40 removes rug pads stuck to the floor

This WD-40 lubricant has been known to remove rug and carpet pads that are stuck to the floor.

While there is no obvious way of removing a rug pad that is stuck to the floor, we did hear of a way that works. On its blog, Rug Pad Corner writes about the best way to remove a rug pad stuck to the floor. This is with the use of WD-40, the household lubricant found in any hardware our home improvement store. The steps to remove the rug or carpet pad that is stuck to the floor are fairly simple and the effort to remove it can be easy or more difficult depending on how stuck the rug pad is to the floor.

NOTE: It is always best to first test a small area of your floor before proceeding to use the WD-40 on the entire area. If you notice the test area being negatively affected, discontinue use.
To use WD-40 to remove your stuck rug pad, first lift the rug and move it to the side. Next, determine the area of floor that has the rug pad stuck to it and start spraying the WD-40 to the area. Next, let the WD-40 sit for 30 seconds to penetrate through the rug pad. Now, using a sponge, try to rub off the rug pad. You may encounter a gummy texture to the rug pad and if you need to use something stiffer than a sponge, just take care not to scratch your floor. If you also determine that a little more WD-40 is needed, it is fine to spray some more. Continue to scrub the area until you believe the rug pad is removed. Once you are satisfied, you now need to clean the residue of the WD-40. Murphy’s Oil Soap works great to remove any residue and smell from the WD-40.

We hope this procedure proves to the the best way to remove any stuck rug or carpet pad to your floor. To avoid this from happening again, we highly suggest using a rug pad that does not contain adhesives or plastic. While this is not an easy thing to find, Rug Pad Corner offers rug pads that fit the description. The company does not believe n chemicals, glues, adhesives or plastics and every rug pad form this store is rated as safe for all floors.

Chemical Free Rug Pads

March 29th, 2012

Rug Pads – No Chemicals
best and safest rug pads available.
Felt and felt and rubber – Free shipping
www.rugpadcorner.com

There are so many rug pads offered with some sort of adhesive or chemical in them, that we are always happy to find more natural, green rug pads. There are a few rug pads that one can find that are chemical free without adhesives and glues. Ultra Premium, Superior and Durahold Plus rug pads are some of the few rug pads that can be used without any worries of harm to the rug floor or air.

Superior natural felt rug pad

Superior is an example of a chemical free felt rug pad at Rug Pad Corner

Rug Pad Corner manufactures Ultra Premium and Superior felt rug pads to strict specifications. The rug pads are made in the USA and are made with recycled felt and only natural, untreated rubber. Unlike many others, even within the hidden areas of the rug apd between the felt and rubber layers, Ultra Premium does not even contain a hint of glue. A heat pressing process applies the rubber to the felt and eliminates the use of glues. Superior is an all recycled felt rug pad that also stays together and compact through a heat pressing process. Where other rug pads contain a clear adhesive coating on each side, Superior does not.

Durahold Plus rug pad is another excellent example of manufacturing a rug pad under very strict quality standards. The rug pad has a U.S. patent on design and material, is made in the USA and is considered one of the oldest and finest non slip felt and rubber rug pads available. Many rug apds try to imitate Durahold Plus, yet they cannot come close based on specific manufacturing criteria. Best Rug pads is an online company that offers Durahold Plus and other quality rug pads, all free of any chemicals.

While there are many more rug pads available to the consumer that contain plastics, glues, chemicals and adhesives, there are a few good ones that are natural. It is worth taking the time to find these and order one. Visit Rug Pad Corner or Best Rug Pads for more on their chemical free rug pads.

Rug Pad Corner adds More Felt Rug Pad Choices

March 28th, 2012

Felt Rug Pads – All Sizes
Best selection of quality felt rug pads
Enjoy custom cutting, free shipping
www.rugpadcorner.com

Rug Pad Corner, the nation’s online source for quality rug pads, announced that it has added more choices of size and shape to its felt rug pad product lines. Ultra Premium and Superior felt rug pads are available in many sizes and shapes and with these new additions, even more sizes and shapes are available.

Superior felt rug pad at Rug Pad Corner

Rug Pad Corner offers the largest selection of felt rug apd sizes and shapes found anywhere. Pictured here is its Superior all felt rug pad.

Until now, Rug Pad Corner offered its felt rug pads in all standard sizes, rounds, squares and runners. The demand for each size has been excellent, as well as demand for sizes not listed on the company web site. “We kept receiving requests for certain sizes that were not on our web site”, states Sam of Rug Pad Corner. “While we still cut those szies as a custom rug pad, we wanted to include those on our site for customers to see right away.” Sam continues to state that several additions within the rectangle, round, square and runner rug pads were recently added, as well as an oval and octagon shape category. The company now offers hundreds of felt rug pads, in both qualities of all felt and a felt and rubber combination, in all shapes.

The felt rug pads at Rug Pad Corner have received many awards and have been written about on the Internet, and for good reason. Each felt rug pad is made in the USA of American materials and the company stocks only the actual rolls. From these rolls, felt rug pad orders are then cut to order, never already cut and packaged. “I think one of the biggest assets to our company is that fact that a customer will never receive a felt rug pad full of stubborn fold marks”, continues Sam. “Our business model revolves around the fact that a rug pad is only cut once we receive an order, not before.” Since felt rug pads can crease fairly easily, Rug Pad Corner refuses to fold them more than necessary. For this reason, rug pads narrower than six feet wide are rolled and anything wider is folded in half only once and then rolled.

The addition of more felt rug pad sizes and shapes to the Rug Pad Corner product line makes this the most diverse selection of felt rug pads available anywhere. Rug pad Corner offers safe and secure online shopping of felt rug pads for all types of floors. Every felt rug apd order is cut to size, professionally packaged and shipped within 2 business days. Shipping is free within the contiguous United States.

Beware of Rug Pads Advertised as Easy to Cut

March 13th, 2012

Custom Rug Pads – No Extra Charge
Get the right rug pad in the right size
For all floor types – Free shipping
www.rugpadcorner.com

Years ago, I remember the rug business where rug pads were offered on a cut per order basis, A customer would visit a store, state the size of the rug and the store would then cut the rug pad from a roll. Today, things have changed and more and more stores fall into the pre-cut and packaged theory. Here, a rug pad is already cut to a size, folded numerous times and then packaged on a shelf. Unfortunately, this leads to problems within the rug pad as well as to the rug and floor.

When a rug pad is advertised as “easy to cut”, this is an obvious sign that the store offering the rug pad does not cut when an order is placed. Instead, the store already has cut pads that are folded for an undetermined amount of time and stuffed in a bag or box. The best way to purchase a quality rug pad is to have one cut for your order. This assures that you will not have to deal with carpet knives in your home and that the rug pad will not have stubborn fold lines in it. These fold lines can cause premature wear patterns to the rug and floor. Another aspect of a pre-cut rug pad is that the inferior quality rug pads are usually offered this way. Finer quality rug pads are only offered direct from the mills in the rolls that are either six feet or twelve feet wide. From these rolls, a store will cut the rug pad to your order, allowing for an inch or so around the rug without pad so that the edge of the rug pad does not show.

Rug Pad Corner, we found, is one of the only rug pad stores that cuts to order and has been for several years. This company stocks rolls and rolls of rug pads in its warehouse ready to be freshly cut for each order. The only folding that happens to these rug pads is to larger ones, bigger than 8′ x 10′, when these are simply folded only in half once and then rolled for shipping. “We are extremely proud of the way we offer our rug pads and we wouldn’t change a thing about it”, states Sam of Rug Pad Corner. “When our customer receives our rug pad, we don;t want them to have to deal with cutting it on their floor. Simply unroll the rug pad and place the rug on it. That’s it”. Sam continues to say that a by offering their rug pads this way, Rug Pad Corner assures minimal fold lines within the rug pad.

Rug Pad Corner for rug pads

Rug Pad Corner is one of the only stores that actually cuts rug pads for each order right from the roll

Many stores seem to get away from this better way to handle rug pad orders because it saves them money and time. The problem with this is that the rug pad is of inferior quality and can cause damage at some point. To make the product seem attractive, stores commonly add the statement, “easy to cut with scissors”, to the product description. According to Sam, this is the first sign that tells the rug pad was already previously cut, may have been sitting folded on a shelf for weeks or months and is probably from another country. Whenever possible, it is best to find a store that takes your rug size and cuts the order from this.

Rug Pad Corner offers quality rug pads in all sizes and shapes and ships for free within the contiguous United States. Each rug pad order is cut to size at no additional charge and professionally packed and shipped directly from its warehouse.

How to Choose The Right Felt Rug Pad

March 5th, 2012

Best Felt Rug Pads
Order felt rug pads safe for all floors
Custom cut to size – Free shipping
www.rugpadcorner.com

Felt rug pads are available in several qualities. For the most part, there are felt rug pads without rubber and felt rug pads with rubber. Within each type of rug pad is various qualities of the felt. The felt rug pads are based on their density, or ounces per square yard of rug pad, their manufacturing process and the actual material. Felt rug pads are made in the USA as well as overseas and our favorites are made in the USA with American materials. Unfortunately today, for cost issues, more and more felt rug pads are made overseas where quality control is compromised. The ideal felt rug pad will be made in the USA with American materials and will not only be cut to order, not already cut and folded in a package.

Superior rug pad is considered the best choice for a felt rug pad today

Superior rug pad is an example of one of the best choices in a felt rug pad today

Upon shopping around and researching, we found the best felt rug pads online at Rug Pad Corner. We will now tell you why we came up with this discovery. First of all, Rug Pad Corner manufacturers its felt rug pads right in the USA with American made materials. Next, the company only buys the felt rug pad in rolls, which means they only cut upon order, avoiding pre-cut folded pads that are packaged and sitting on a shelf. Next, Rug Pad Corner uses only quality, recycled felt in all of their felt rug pads. Finally, the felt rug pads are made with a needle punched process and then heat pressing, eliminating the use of glues, chemicals or adhesives. These processes and characteristics are the ideal ways to offer and buy a felt rug pad, yet far and few in-between offer felt rug pads in this manner.

Rug Pad Corner offers two felt rug pads, Ultra Premium and Superior. Both felt rug pads are made to perform for 15 to 20 years and one contains natural rubber, while the other is all felt. In order to choose the right felt rug pad between the two, you must decide if slipping is an issue. Superior felt rug pad does not contain rubber, so it does not prevent slipping. For larger rugs, heavier rugs or rugs that have furniture sitting on them, Superior all felt rug pad is generally fine. There are smaller or lighter rugs that could slip, so here Ultra Premium is the better choice as the rubber side in place.

As mentioned earlier, there are many choices in felt rug pads today. There are felt rug pads that contain an invisible adhesive on the top and bottom to keep the felt together. There are also felt rug pads that may state they have a rubber lower surface, yet this rubber is usually attached to the felt with glue. Your choice for either type of felt rug pad should not involve one with glues or adhesives as these could out-gas and eventually mark the floor. Rug Pad Corner stresses the fact that its felt rug pads are made in such a way as to avoid the use of chemicals, glues or adhesives, and it shows. Upon inspection of Ultra Premium and Superior felt rug pads, we noticed that neither rug pad contained an odor, something common when chemicals or adhesives are involved. It is a very assuring feeling to know that the felt rug pads under your rugs in your home are as natural as can be and as safe as can be for your home, the air and your floors.

To choose your next felt rug pad, visit Rug Pad Corner to learn more about Ultra Premium and Superior rug pads. We think you will be quite impressed at how much importance this company places in the quality of its felt rug pads. After all, rug pads is all Rug Pad Corner knows and they know them well.

Two Great Oriental Rug Pads

May 24th, 2011

Oriental Rug Pads
Protect oriental rugs with
the right rug pads-Free shipping
Rugpadcorner.com/oriental

As far as oriental rugs go, many of them are handmade and quite valuable. Based on this investment, the oriental rug needs the right rug pad. An oriental rug pad needs to be dense and solid so that it can protect the rug from premature wear and matting. Oriental rugs contain hand tied knots on the back of the rug. These knots are what keep the rug together. Since these knots are against a hard floor, it is important for them not to experience unnecessary wear and stress. The right oriental rug pad will act as a portective barrier between the knots of the rug and the hard floor, hence preventing any premature wear to the rug. There are two rug apds that are best for oriental rugs.

Superior rug pad for oriental rugs

Superior is an excellent oriental rug pad, available at Rug Pad Corner

Superior 40 ounce felt jute rug pad is a recycled felt rug apd that is solid and dense and excellent for oriental rugs. Superior rug pad is made in the USA of 100% recycled felt that is needle punched and then heat pressed into a compact 3/8 of an inch thickness. This density is one of the ways that Superior can prevent wear and stress to an oriental rug. Superior truly prevents any pressure from above from pushing into the oriental rug and causing the knots of the rug to rub against the hard floor. Besides being dense and protective to all oriental rugs, Superior is also safe for all floors in that it does not contain glues or adhesives that can stick to the floor. Since Superior does not contain any rubber, it is not meant to prevent oriental rugs from slipping and should not be used as a non-slip rug pad for smaller oriental rugs.

Ultra Premium is the other rug pad best for oriental rugs. Like Superior, this rug pad contains recycled felt and it brings with it a layer of natural rubber. This rug pad is excellent for oriental rugs that tend to slip. Ultra Premium is made in the USA of a textured felt surface and a textured natural rubber lower surface. The felt prevents the knots of the oriental rug from rubber against the floor and the rubber prevents the rug from slipping. While there may be many “felt/rubber” rug pads available, many of them contain a synthetic rubber and polyprolpylene, a form of plastic. It is important that the non-slip rug pad for oriental rugs by recycled felt and only natural rubber, as this will not damage the floor.

Both Ultra Premium and Superior rug pads for oriental rugs have been rated as best rug pads for oriental rugs by thousands of actual customers and industry experts. An oriental rug pad should not be taken for granted. Yes, the rug apd is out of sight when it is under the rug and, for this reason, it is important to know that it is the proper quality rug pad so that it performs to proetct any oriental rug as best as it should. With the proper rug pad under your oriental rug, your rug will last a lifetime, as it is meant to and, will look great during that time.

Rug Pad Corner offers Ultra Premium and Superior rug pads for oriental rugs. The rug pads are available in just about every size and shape and, since oriental rugs are not perfect, custom cutting to actual rug size is included at no extra charge. All rug pad orders ship within 24 hours and ship for free within the contiguous United States.

A Basement Rug Pad Like No Other

March 4th, 2011

More and more people are using their basements for more than just storage. The basement has become another place of the home to relax, exercise, play or watch television. Since basements contain concrete walls and floors, it is very important to keep the basement comfortable and safe. Many people carpet their basement floor or use a rug and what’s under the rug or carpet can make all the difference.

superior recycled jute basement rug pad

Superior recycled felt jute rug pad is excellent for basement floors

A basement rug pad should be able to add comfort and safety and protection. The comfort will come by the rug pad making the floor feel softer. The safety will come by the basement rug pad preventing any mold or mildew from occurring. The protection will come to the rug as the dense rug pad will prevent a rug from wearing against a hard basement floor. For the comfort factor, a basement rug pad should be thick and dense enough to prevent anyone from feeling the concrete floor. For the safety factor, a basement rug pad should be natural enough and be mold and mildew resistant as well as odor free. For the protection factor, a basement rug pad should be dense enough to resist any pressure or stress against a rug, hence preventing any premature wear to the rug.

A 40 ounce recycled felt rug pad is one of the best basement rug pads for comfort. This felt rug pad is a very dense rug pad that will prevent anyone from sinking through the rug and feeling the hard or cold floor, also preventing wear to the rug. A basement rug pad should not be too spongy or soft as this will allow sinking through the rug pad and touching and feeling the floor. A felt rug pad is made in qualities of ounces, the higher the ounces, the thicker and more dense the rug pad. As one of the more comfortable basement rug pads, a 40 ounce felt rug pad is a full 3/8 of an inch thick and truly makes any hard floor feel softer.

As far as safety goes, it is important for the basement rug pad to be mold and mildew resistant and to not contain any chemicals, glues or adhesives. A quality recycled felt rug pad is made of recycled fibers and does not contain any adhesives that could stick to the floor or contain an odor. This felt rug pad for basements will not smell or stick even if damp and this is important in basements.

Superior rug pad is one of the best basement rug pads available. It is made of a recycled felt that is needle punched into a healthy 3/8 of an inch thick rug pad. This basement rug pad prevents stress to the rug against the basement floor, adds comfort with its thickness and makes for a safe environment by being mold and mildew resistant without any adhesives or odor. Superior basement rug pad should be purchased large enough to cover the entire area of the rug, less an inch or so an all sides.

Rug Pad Corner offers Superior basement rug pad in all sizes and shapes. Shop online in a safe and secure environment and all orders ship for free within the contiguous United States.
