                      A:  Thank you for your question. The product should not change the color of the floor the product is laying over. The only way for the product to damage the subfloor is if there is a spill ans/or if after damp moping the floor and not allowing the floor to completely dry before putting the foam and area rug back down.

                        A:  Anything that you use to cover an area of flooring will eventually change the color of the surrounding area, as the uncovered areas will gradually fade. While carpet padding will provide a softer surface, you may be better off with something made specifically as a non slip area rug foundation.
