Can anyone can tell what type of rug backing is best for wood (engineered wood) floors? Do some backings hurt the wood floor?
I have heard that rubber backed throw rugs are bad for wood floors. And I am purchasing some rugs for my new home, which has wood floors.

How can I get rugs to lay flat?
It isn’t scratching you need to be afraid of, with rubberized backing. It is the rubber breaking down and either crumbling, or, if anything greasy got on it, it would turn to a sticky, gluey mess.
Look for rugs made of natural fibers, either cotton, wool, or silk. They wear well, and won’t damage your nice hardwood floors.
We have wool rugs on hardwood.
