Should I use a protective pad underneath my antique rug?

Protective Pads

Setting a protective pad underneath your rug is very helpful in keeping the beauty of your rug. Hair and jute pads should be fit to the exact size of your rug. Be aware of the thinner vulcanized rubber pads, some may decompose and contain sulfur, which can damage older fragile rugs.
