Best Answer

Yes. As rugs are walked on, they are ground into the hard floor which makes the rug wear faster, especially in areas of high traffic. In a good quality rug, you may not notice the difference in a rug that has had a pad and a rug that hasn't until they are 50+ years old. In older rugs and in flat-weave rugs, the difference will be seen much sooner. When shopping for a pad, get something that is thick and rubber on one side and rough wool on the other. Opt for purchasing rug pad from a rug store as opposed to a linens or hardware store, as this will actually promote better wear. The other pads are usually just to prevent skidding.

Extend The Life of Your Brake Pad?

The brake pad is one of the most frequently replaced parts on the automobile. Over time the cost of having these pads replaced can begin to add up. Most mechanics will replace the pads on both wheels even when only one pad is worn. Newer model cars are equipped with a sensor that alerts the driver when the pad is worn. Driving moderately and breaking by easing on the pedal is one of the best ways to ensure that you maximize the life of your brake pad. Drivers who hit their brakes hard will find themselves replacing pads more often.
