Is it safe to put area rugs or runners on top of carpet?

Be careful using rugs or runners over carpet in high traffic areas. Doing so may cause a permanent soil line on your carpet! Along the edge of the rug or runner gets exposed to traffic, soil and light while the carpet under the runner gets no light, no traffic, and no soil. The result: When you remove the rug or runner, there will be an obvious square and the worn area will not be able to be restored to it's original condition. To prevent this condition, clean your traffic areas regularly, therefore eliminating the need for runners or rugs.
