Indoor mat safe for hardwood floor?
Can anyone recommend a mat or backing I can put under my mat? I have one by my sliding glass door in the kitchen and today when I moved it to clean, some of it melted to the floor! Thankfully, I got it up without too much damage to the floor itself. I’ve been on a hunt all day and can’t find what I’m looking for - or maybe I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for. I like the mat I have, so maybe just something to put under it? Either way ... please help.

I'm not exactly sure what kind of mat you have, but could you buy a non-slip mat that goes under a throw rug and just cut it down to size?

I looked at those while at target and googled it and it said because of the rubber , it would melt in the heat too

Was it a solid, sponge type back? We had an area rug that was like that, it was supposed to be non slip I think. After a while when I pulled it up some of the foam stuck to the wood. I just use the non slip mats under my area rugs now and by the doors I have small entryway rugs that have a very light coating and they've never been a problem.

I wouldn’t put anything there if it will be in direct sun. I have a mat outside my sliding doors to wipe our feet on.

I have it there for when the dogs come in. It’s my first line of defense lol
Or else my floors would be impossible to keep up with
I guess i never thought of it doing that! Melting like that
I’ve been googling and it’s not very easy to find
