we placed an area rug over carpeting and it keeps moving. How can we stop it?
We have already tried the non slip pads as well as 2 way tape. The movement will even cause a couch placed on the area rug to move. We are reluctant to use nails as we don’t really want to cut either of thr rugs.

Got a tip some time ago for same problem.
Applied clear silicone caulk to underside of small jute backed area rug .
Ran a " broken " bead around perimeter & criscrossed in the center area.
Flattened bead w/ finger to get rid of ridges & lumps.
Replaced rug after silicone was completely dry.
Does not glue the rug down , just gives the backing a little grip.
Cheap & worth a try.
Good luck
Depending on the material of the two rugs you can use nails. most rugs are woven and have a waffle backing, therefore you can get a nail through the back without ruining either rug. Make sure nail head is big enough it doesn’t go through top rug.
