XFasten Carpet Tape

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.

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.

The item arrived in a timely manner. I am in the process of completing constructing a delicate arrangement for a 50" TV to rest on its original TV's feet upon a platform of a 43" shelf that I am designing. I'm not yet finish. I am placing my platform on a lazy-susan to swing about 40 degrees in both directions. To keep the cable box, the TV, a soundbar, the power cord and everything from becoming tangled, they all have to rest on the platform that I am constructing. And each time that I swing the laze -susan, I risk the chance of the TV toppling over, or everything on the platform to shift position and potentially become unstable without support at the extreme rotation of the lazy-susan. So, I purchased the doubled-sided carpet tape to place under the TV feet. Since the carpet tape is advertised to not leave residue; and is easily removed, I was concerned if it was strong enough to serve my need. I researched it and found that it holds 60 lb. PSI. I am satisfied; and expect that it will serve my purpose when I complete fine adjustments to my project.

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!

If you don't live in a home with lots of fur/hair on the floor and without an active dog maybe it might work a little better. It does help the carpet stick down a little bit; but as soon as the tape gets any hair/dirt/fur on it, it looses all of its stickiness.

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!

Extremely strong adhesive. When putting down tape suggest using strips no longer than 18 inches with 1/8 between each strip. Longer strips have tendency to slightly bunch and harder to adjust for a completely flat application and may result in wasting tape. Also suggest the mini cutter to cut tape .

I would return it but it was not even worth the refund

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

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.

Ho acquistato un grande tappeto da mettere sotto il tapis roulant, ma i lati non stavano bene appoggiati a terra, pertanto ho acquistato questo nastro biadesivo ed ha funzionato benissimo: nessun rischio di inciampare di nuovo nel tappeto!!
