How to keep rugs from curling up on the corners.

A couple of months ago a corner of my dining room area rug decided to curl up and stay that way. After bending roll the rug snugly against the curl for 1 2 its length. Carpets that curl up at the corners are a tripping hazard. You will need to bend the edge against the curl in the center of the double thickness the full length of the rug.

I was nervous someone was going to trip over the rug and whack their head right on the table i even tried duct tape to get the dang corner to stay but it was determined to stick up. Here s a quick easy trick to cure rugs with curling corners once and for all. Attach a pair of flat cork backed rulers along the edges of each corner. This method should work for rugs that are badly curled at the corners but the rug obviously needs to be the size of the bed or smaller for the best results.

Step 6 reverse. Letting the rug remain in this position for approximately 15 minutes should flatten the edges. Keep cotton flat weave and other lightweight rugs from slipping around and curling with this tried and true trick. Printed jute rugs have a double thickness at the edge.

Simply taking the carpet and laying it upside down will also help stop curling. Not only did it look bad.
