I need some 3' x 5' throw rugs to keep in various places in my house to keep from tracking outside dirt everywhere.
I brought some from Costco but they slip and slide around as my floors are hard surfaced. Plus I don't think I could take these rugs to a dry cleaner and have them cleaned.
Does anyone know of some 3x5 rugs that have a GOOD non slip backing and are made such that a person could roll them up and take them to dry cleaners?
You can get non-slip pads to use under throw rugs.

You can get cheap throw rugs with rubber backing just about anywhere. Try any of the "dollar" stores, Wal-Mart, K-mart, etc.
As someone mentioned, you can also get non-slip pads to use under your rugs.
I have had good luck at K-mart and you can launder them in the big machines at the coin laundry.
I will check Kmart out
Do you remember the brand names of the rugs by any chance?

We purchased some six years ago from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for our bathrooms. Multiple washings later, they're still doing their jobs nicely. I just checked and no tags, though. When we looked, I was interested in the weave and backing since our last set (by Cannon) wasn't able to make it through a year of washing (probably five times total).
