XFasten Double-Sided Carpet Tape is designed to secure rugs, runners, and carpets in place without leaving a sticky mess behind. It’s tough, residue-free, and easy to use—perfect for homes, offices, event spaces, or studios. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get the best hold with zero frustration.
✅ Step 1: Clean the Surface.
Before applying any tape, make sure the floor is clean and completely dry. Use a vacuum or dry cloth to remove all dust, debris, and grease. A clean surface ensures the adhesive bonds effectively and lasts longer.
Tip: Avoid wet mops or oil-based cleaners right before application. Moisture or residue can weaken the tape’s grip.
✅ Step 2: Peel the Carpet Tape from the Roll.
Unroll the carpet tape gently. XFasten’s tape is flexible and tear-resistant, making it easy to work with. Pull out as much tape as you estimate you’ll need for the job.
✅ Step 3: Apply the Tape to the Surface.
Place the tape sticky side down directly onto the floor, not on the rug. Line the perimeter of the rug area first. For larger carpets, add tape across the center in a grid pattern to prevent bunching or curling.
Pro tip: Use smaller strips for high-traffic areas or corners that tend to lift.
✅ Step 4: Cut the tape.
Use scissors or a utility knife to cut the tape to your desired length. Straight, clean cuts make peeling the liner and final placement easier.
✅ Step 5: Apply Pressure to the Tape.
Once positioned, press firmly on the tape with your hands or a flat object (like a book or roller). This step ensures the adhesive makes full contact with the floor.
Pressure equals performance—this step is key for long-term stick.
✅ Step 6: Remove the Adhesive Liner.
Peel back the white paper liner from the top of the tape to reveal the second adhesive layer. Take your time and avoid touching the exposed adhesive with your fingers.
✅ Step 7: Add the Carpet on Top of the Tape.
Carefully position your rug, carpet, or mat over the tape. Once aligned, press down across the entire surface to bond the carpet to the adhesive.
Start from the center and press outward to eliminate air pockets or uneven spots.
PEELING THE ADHESIVE LINER:
If you're having trouble separating the adhesive liner from the Carpet Tape, you can use a flat-tipped object, such as your fingernails or a thin card, to create an initial small gap that can be fully peeled to release the liner. The tape can be used for carpet-to-floor, carpet-to-carpet, and rug-to-carpet setups.
REMOVING THE ADHESIVES:
The Carpet Tape is Residue-Free and Surface-Safe. However, we are still required by law to provide adhesive removal tips. You may see the following tips below:
1. Partially melting the adhesive using the warm air exhaust of a hair dryer.
2. Wiping the surface with warm water, soap, and a white vinegar solution.
3. Applying Goo Gone Solution or simply applying lighter fluid on the surface. The residue can easily be removed and wiped clean through this process.
Final Tips
-
✅ Works best on: Hardwood, tile, marble, vinyl, and other sealed hard floors.
-
❌ Not recommended for: Unfinished wood, delicate surfaces, or soft flooring.
To Remove: Gently lift the rug, peel off the tape slowly, and roll it away from the floor. Any minor adhesive residue can be wiped off with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.
XFasten Carpet Tape helps you create a safer, cleaner-looking space in minutes—with no tools, no stress, and no mess. Whether you're prepping for guests, installing a new runner, or baby-proofing your home, it's the invisible solution you'll wish you discovered sooner.
*****WARNING AND DISCLAIMERS*****
Adhesive may react differently to various surfaces and may be incompatible with unique materials. Therefore, it is recommended to try out a short strip to a small corner of the surface first before full application. By applying the tape, the user assumes responsibility for how the surface reacts with the adhesive.
