Frequently Asked Questions
Why remove rugs?
Rugs are a major trip hazard. Edges curl up, they slip on hard floors, feet catch underneath. Removing them makes walking safer, especially with mobility aids.
What about rugs I like?
If you love a rug, we can secure it with tape or non-slip backing instead. But often it's safer to remove them entirely.
What happens to the rugs?
We can dispose of them, store them in your loft, or give to family. Your choice.
Will the floor look bare?
Floors underneath are often fine. If not, consider hard flooring - much safer than rugs for mobility.
