Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Magic Stop has been down for over 2 months and has indeed kept the 8x10 Area rug on Berber Carpet from slipping. Prior to the Magic Stop install, I had to get the bumps/humps out of the area rug at least once a week. Post install, it has not moved an inch. One thing to make sure of is a correct install. And believe it or not this product did NOT come with any install instructions. If I had not found them in your customer reviews, I would certainly have installed it wrong. I'm including it here again because it is an important aspect of enjoying this product. ---- { I found this at another website and have learned to always check Amazon before buying. The other website had instructions not found here. After reading reviews, I wonder if the instructions were followed, especially the part about removing the clear backing on the area rug side. I am pasting the instructions below. "This pad is used for rugs on top of carpet. Placed between the rug and the carpet, it prevents wrinkling and crawling. A thin, slightly tacky pad which 'adheres' the rug to the carpet without damage to either. The pad can be moved many times, even washed to rejuvenate the adhesive. Rounds and odd sizes can easily be trimmed to fit. For installing under large area rugs, follow these instructions: 1. Position the rug in the room exactly where you want it. 2. Mark the carpet beneath each corner of the rug with a piece of masking tape then roll the rug out of the way. 3. With the sticky side facing the carpet and the clear, protective backing facing up, line up two edge of the rug pad about 1/2 inch inside the marked area on the floor. If the pad is larger than the marked area, allow only two sides to extend beyond the markers. The excess will be trimmed later. 4. Carefully lay the rug pad down on the carpet and run your hands over the pad to smooth it in place. Push any excess material to one side of the area, making sure the pad remains within the markers on the floor. 5. Slowly peel the clear backing off the pad to reveal the adhesive facing up. 6. Line up 2 edges of the rug inside your marked area and unroll into position. Smooth the rug into place. 7. Trim or fold under any excess rug pad. Made in U.S.A.."} I hope this helps.
