Need specifics for rug pad safe for wood floors

15 years ago

I'm aware of many who have had problems with latex-backed rugs damaging their wood floors. I looked all over the internet and finally found a seagrass rug that was cotton canvas backed. It's a 9 x 12 and anchored by two couches, so there is not a lot of slippage. I would like to get runners for my kitchen, because high-traffic areas like right in front of the sink and the fridge are getting worn. But cotton backed ones slip, and I'm definitely afraid of latex backed. Many times I have seen people advised to get pads that are "safe for wood floors", but when it comes to finding such a rug pad, I can't find anyone selling one that is willing to make such a statement. Can anyone give me specifics on a rug pad that is known to be "safe for wood floors". I don't expect any pad to be safe if you spill a glass of water and let it sit there for a couple of days. But I would like something that would work for everyday use in the kitchen. Does anyone have any ideas?
