This stuff is amazing. I purchased it due to its claimed removable quality and because of the generally very positive reviews. I was tired of my Roomba battling with and twisting up my light rugs and cowhide on my hardwood floors, and this stuff has been great to work with considering the cowhide's irregular shape and the natural leather backing that the tape has to adhere to. The carpets seem to come off of the wood and ceramic flooring (with some work, which is what you want) without leaving residue at all for repositioning. I imagine this will hold true after several months as well but I will update if I am proved wrong. For those that are complaining about difficulties cutting with scissors and peeling off the backing, I do not recommend this technique. Take a cue from the packaging which says "easy to tear" and tear it. The tape itself is easier to rip than duct tape and generally tears clean and straight, ripping the backing paper irregularly along the same break. This is good because this creates a paper lip which makes the backing very easy to remove. I just ordered another roll for the future "just in case" following this experience.

Works well to hold carpets in place and even attach objects to a wall. It's that strong. Cutting it can get tricky because of how sticky it is. Word of caution, don't use this on wood floors, it can damage it.

This carpet tape is the real deal but the reason I'm such a fan of it is because of the applications I've used it for aside from sticking rugs to the floor. Which by the way, it does INSANELY WELL. This is kind-of like krazy glue for your carpets or rugs ... with the added benefit of you being able to remove it whenever you pretty want to. Although, don't be fooled. This stuff is strong and it takes effort to remove it from the floor. It's so strong, it's torn off the perimeter fabric around some rugs of mine when I was trying to do things quickly, so I've learned that when I'm removing it, to go slowly. Once you use it to keep carpets in place, remember that you'll always have to vacuum AROUND them because they won't go easily, lol. The end result is a flawless appearance. No one would ever know you're using it and you can rest assured knowing no one will be busting their ahhhs thanks to slippery floors. Now, onto the real fun stuff: You know the pain of having to remove something sticky from a hard surface? It can be a nightmare, right? Well, believe it or not, this tape actually helps! This tape is sticky as hell. If it's too long in your hands, some residue of the sticky-stuff will remain on your hands or fingers but the best way to get rid of it is to do this: Get another little piece of tape, tape it to something so one side is no longer sticky and use the sticky side to remove the sticky leftover pieces on your hand. Yes, seriously, it's that simple. This stuff is so sticky that it has the power to pick up other sticky residues. I wish I had it when I had to remove my car inspection sticker so that the new one could be put on, I have a feeling it would have worked like a charm. Also, the value for money is crazy. I usually buy the 2x30 one and it lasts me easily 2 years. BY THE WAY, as far as ease of cutting, it isn't easy to cut. So, don't ever use scissors trying to cut this, you will just drive yourself nuts instead. Use a BOX CUTTER only. I hope this helps!

Tape works great to hold area rug in position and easy to install. Have not tried to remove it yet so hopefully it comes off as advertised.

I was sick to death of trying to stop my rug moving (on top of carpet). This tape is brilliant and so worth the money. I can’t tell you how happy I am with it. My hall runner has not moved a centimetre since tape use
