Once the rug's position is marked, carefully roll up one half of the rug towards the center, exposing the floor beneath. Take your non-stick underpad and lay it flat on the exposed floor. It is crucial to ensure the underpad is at least one foot smaller than the actual rug size (e.g., if the rug is 8x10 feet, the pad should be about 7x9 feet). Additionally, position the underpad a couple of inches away from the marked line, making sure it is centered under where the rug will lie. After placing, fold the end part of the rug pad inwards slightly if necessary, then carefully roll the rug back over the underpad until the first half is completely covered.
