Ensure the rug pad is cut approximately 2" smaller than the size of your rug on all sides. Clean the floor where the rug will lay so that it is free of dust, wax, and grease. Place the rug pad on the floor and carefully roll the rug out into position. If the rug pad is in many pieces (as will be the case with large-sized rugs), lay them together with no overlap before placing down the rug. Newly sealed floors must be completely dry and cured. We recommend a curing period of at least four weeks before the installation of any rug pad.
