Rug Pads, Rug Underlay

Why use a rug pad for your rug?

Rug pads prolong the life of your rug:
A rug takes a lot of stress as it is being walked on. When walking on a rug the fibers get pushed down against the hard floor underneath and this can eventually lead to wear. A rug pad acts as a protective barrier between your rug and floor and takes much of the stress. The back of a rug, particularly hand made rugs, consists of knots. Without a rug pad these knots can rub and wear against the floor causing premature wear. The rug pad prevents this wear and prolongs the life of your rug.

Rug pads protect the floor:

The back of many rugs is rough or scratchy and without a rug pad, this can lead to damage to your floor. Along with protecting floors from scratches, rug pads also protect from indentations. Many rugs have heavy furniture on them and sometimes this can lead to indentations of your floor. The proper rug pad will resist this weight and prevent any damage.

Rug pads add safety:

Many rugs tend to slip and slide. This is especially true of smaller rugs or runners. The right non slip rug pad not only adds all the benefits mentioned above, it also prevents slipping, making for a safe home.

Rug pads add comfort:

Finally, a rug pad can make a rug more comfortable by adding extra cushion under your rug. This is helpful in kid's rooms or family rooms where comfort is an issue. Many times if one sits on a rug without a rug pad, you can actually feel the hard floor underneath. A nice rug pad will prevent this and make your rug much more comfortable.

A small investment now in the right rug pad for your rug will prove to add comfort and safety to your home while protecting your Persian & Oriental rugs and floors from premature wear and costly damages in the future.

Super-Stop Quality Rug Pad in Los Angeles

We ordered more rug pads in Los Angeles couple of days ago as we keep running out of them due to the demand. Many of our customers become interested in purchasing rug pads as we tell them the benefits they get from having rug pads.

Rug pads have many features and uses. The main use of a rug pad is to prevent the rug from slipping and moving from its place. We have the top quality rug pad that is out on the market.The Super-Stop Quality Rug Pad is made of superior quality polyester fabric coated with a high-grade vinyl compound. Its new design will not stick to the hardwood and other types of floor coverings as some other rug pads do. The Super-Stop quality rug pad is a network design which allows air circulation underneath the rug. Without a rug pad, a lot of dust and dirt, including moth, will gather and house under the rug. The air circulation provided by the rug pad will prevent dust and dirt and moth from gathering under the rug.

The rug pad also provides padding for the rug, so when the rug is walked on and vacuumed, it is not rubbed and pushed against hard surface. Having a rug pad underneath the rug will extend the rug's life by preventing this harsh rubbing.

The Super-Stop Quality rug pad is a great investment in protecting your Persian Rugs and other Handmade Oriental Rugs. Many Rug Repairs on the sides and corners of the rug can be prevented by having rug pads.

Rug Pads and Giving a Round Rug as a Gift to a Customer

A lady who had bought few rugs earlier this week returned today with her friend, another nice lady looking for a small rug to match two of the small rugs she had bought before. She could not select the right piece and called her son and asked him to take photos of the rugs they had at home and e-mail the photos to her cell phone. This was done and she could finally select the piece which would match the other pieces at home. Thanks to technology which provided us the opportunity to sell rugs.

I asked her if she needed rug pads for the rugs she had bought and she said yes she needed the rug pads. She also bought a couple of rugs today. The bad part of the story was when she liked a round 3 x 3 rug and said she would expect us to give this round rug to her as a free gift without charging her!! I told her that I would give her a discount on this, but she did not accept and said I am your returning and repeat customer and I will continue to comeback to your store. To make her happy I agreed and gave her the rug. She left our store with a big smile on her face and said she would return again very soon. She also got several of my business cards to pass on to her friends who may need rugs.

Un-Standard Rug Pads

Few days ago, we went to a customers house to pick up two rugs for cleaning. The rugs were very old Karastan Kerman machine made area rugs. The rug pads were not the right kind and the standard pads suitable for hard wood floors. They had been spoiled over the years and were attached to the back of the rugs. The rugs were so dirty that made the back of our car dirty and full of filth, dust and dirt. here I am posting few photos. The rugs came out alright after the cleaning.
