The post-industrial recycled synthetic fibers will not stain or discolor your floors and is ideal for use on any hard surface flooring or carpeting. ADDS CUSHION: Provides extra support for a thick plush feel beneath your rug. The additional cushioning of this pet friendly rug pad will add protection to the base of any area rug, giving it enduring reliability in busy spaces.
