Keep the flooring in your home protected and add cushion underneath your favorite area rug with the ¼” Dual Surface Premium Rug Pad from Mohawk. This rug pad is ideal on hard or soft surface flooring and can easily be trimmed down to size with household scissors, perfectly fitting any size rug in your home. The pad is made with a combination of natural and synthetic rubber materials and 100percent post-industrial recycled synthetic fibers. Rug pads have many benefits, including keeping area and accent rugs in place, extending the life of your rug, protecting against abrasion and wear on all flooring types, reducing pile crushing from furniture, and making vacuuming easier, too! The Dual Surface Premium Rug Pad is safe for all hard surface flooring types and will not stain or discolor your floors. To use: On hard surface flooring, place the rubber side down against the floor and felt side up against the backing of your rug. On a soft carpeted surface, the felt side should be placed down against the floor with the rubber side against the back of your rug.
