Here’s the deal … every rug on a hard surface can benefit from a rug pad. I mean EVERY rug, and I mean a GOOD rug pad, not some of those flimsy green mesh sorry-excuse-for-a-pad pads. (Horse hair pads are even WORSE.) No, I’m talking about a good pad – like this one.
- Pad under rug – trim it in about an inch from the edge
Pads keep rugs from slipping and buckling. Pads act as shock absorbers so that the foot traffic causes less wear and tear on the face fibers. It literally helps the rug “live” longer.
My pad of choice is Durahold, made by No-Muv.
These pads work for rugs on hard surfaces. It’s a great product that lasts a long time. It’s a product made by a long-time rug family who also have one of the most incredible rug and art galleries I have ever had the honor to visit, Mussallem Galleries. If you ever find yourself in Jacksonville, Florida, you MUST see this Gallery.
But back to pad. I obviously use the term “pad your invoice” tongue-in-cheek, because that’s just the way I am. 
But this service is one that you should be offering your clients, not because it can earn you more money, but because it is GOOD for your clients’ rugs. (Nothing wrong with making some more money though, especially when it is in exchange for delivering a high quality service and product to your clients.)
Every good rug deserves a good pad.
