Three Helpful Uses for VELCROⓇ Brand Sticky Dots

Self-adhesive VELCRO^Ⓡ Brand products are incredibly useful and versatile in a range of situations – especially around the home. Sometimes, though, you don’t necessarily need to use larger strips of adhesive hook and loop tape, rather a simple small solution is required as a quick fix for your needs.

That’s where VELCRO^Ⓡ Brand sticky dots come in. Also known as self-adhesive coins, these are as their name suggests – small round circles of corresponding hook and loop pieces with adhesive on their underside, allowing them to be stuck to various surfaces where required.

Keep reading for some inspiration on how to use these hook and loop coins around the home.

1 | Keeping Rugs in Place

This is one of the oldest and handiest tricks in the book when it comes to using adhesive hook and loop products.

If you have a hard floor (e.g. solid wood, lino or vinyl) and have a rug on it, then we’re sure you’ll know the frustration of having this slip and move around, especially if you have children or pets running around – it’s an accident waiting to happen!

Placing a VELCRO^Ⓡ Brand coin under each corner of your rug, along with one in the centre of each edge depending on the size of your rug, is a small but simple way of ensuring it stays in place, as the hook and loop offers that little bit of friction needed to stop the rug from slipping around underfoot.

The great thing about this is that it’s still easy to unfasten the hook and loop and pick your rug up off the floor for cleaning purposes.

2 | Mounting Smoke Detectors

A smoke detector is an essential item to have in every home, one that, at the very least, offers you peace of mind whilst having the potential to save your life in the most extreme of circumstances.

It’s recommended that these are placed high up on walls or on ceilings, as smoke rises, so having your smoke alarm placed high up allows it to better detect smoke in the event that it is present. At the same time, you want to be able to easily remove them from the wall or ceiling, as their batteries need replacing at least once a year.

VELCRO^Ⓡ Brand coins, then, are ideal for securely mounting smoke detectors on walls or ceilings, whilst ensuring they’re still easily removable for battery changes.

3 | Securing Plant Pots

If a plant pot gets knocked over outside, this isn’t much more than a nuisance, as it doesn’t matter if soil is spilt in your garden. For any indoor plants that you have, however, this would be much more of a pain. No one wants to spend their time trying to clean soil out of their bedding, furniture or carpet!

If you keep plants indoors, then placing one or two VELCRO^Ⓡ Brand coins under your plant pots can help them stay in place even if they are accidentally knocked, helping you to avoid otherwise frustrating cleanups.
