Carpet Protection Film, Temporary Adhesive Plastic, Clear, 48" Wide by 500' Long

Great item, just as described, arrived quickly, and packaged well!I read a lot of reviews about it being hard to put down, so I was skeptical and concerned when I purchased it, especially for the application that I purchased it for.I drive Uber and I actually bought this for the carpet in my Mini-Van. I have stow and go seating which fold into the floor so I started by stowing all the seats so that I had just the floor to work with, but it is still not flat or smooth by any means like household carpet would be. I then popped the door entry trim off the edges of the carpet. Next I rolled out the film letting extra hang over each end as I went. I cut the edges to fit, cut the slots where seats go in and out of the floor, stuck the overage under the side panels, and then replaced the door trim helping to hold the edges down and the floor mats and it looked great.I did the whole job by myself in about one hour. It was MUCH easier and quicker than I thought it would be. With the heavy use that I get in my vehicle the film lasts about 3 months, but that is not an issue as I would say one roll of the film will easily cover the floor for 5 to 10 applications.With its intended use I would say it would perform even better!

I use this product in a "different" way. My cat likes to pee right on the floor trim - the pee gets right between the carpet and the trim and it's impossible to clean that area without ripping up the carpet. So my solution - I put a barrier there. I place this plastic sheet between on the carpet and wrap it up over the trim and onto the wall. It stays perfectly without any tape. Catches all the cat pee - easy to wipe right off. I sometimes put vicks vapor rub right in the corner - that helps keep the cat from going there again, since they hate the smell and the texture. The plastic starts to get dirty and has trouble sticking after about a month - so I just replace it with a new sheet. My upstairs hallway looks ridiculous because the floor and trim are covered with plastic, but it's the only solution I can figure out besides getting rid of the cat.If you have a cat (or dog) that continues to pee in the exact same place: just cover it with carpet plastic. No smell, no stains - but you have to explain to all your guests why your home is covered in plastic.

I'd seen this product before in commercial settings, but couldn't find it in local big-box stores. I found a similar product online and then checked out Amazon, who had a few options and good prices. I have an apartment I rent and needed to upgrade a few things prior to a new tenant coming in. I bought a new Washer/Dryer which are housed in an alcove built for that purpose. I was concerned about compromising the carpeting in front of and on the path to the alcove. We had to remove the old units and install the new ones, as well as new louver doors that conceal the appliances when not in use. The plastic carpet protection worked great! After installation we left the plastic in place while the tenant moved in (January in New England - snow, dirty shoes, etc.,) We left in place for 4 weeks during appliance installation and tenant move in. It never tore with all the activity and left the carpet unscathed.

Bought this before starting some fairly major renovations - we were remodeling the downstairs, meaning everyone had to use the carpeted upstairs bathroom- a lot of foot traffic!The film was *not* easy to put into place; you definitely need a helper. For flat long areas, you can have them stand on the end of the piece while you crawl away with the rest of the roll. It's very important to walk or crawl over it to ensure good adhesion. The stairs were nothing short of a nightmare, but they were indeed doable with this film. It was very difficult to roll the film out without it sitting on the floor, making those vertical parts of the stairs nearly impossible to cover.The stickiness will linger on your hands, but went away after using some hand cleaner. The smell of the adhesive is also less than desirable, but only detectable while you're actually rolling it out.We had the film down for 2 weeks, and probably had half a dozen people walking over it on a regular basis. At the end, the plastic was almost totally opaque due to dust. Other than a small hole on one of the stairs, everything stayed intact. When we removed it, it pulled the carpets up a little more than I liked, but took very little "fuzz" with it.So in short- this film is a real PITA to lay down, but I seriously doubt that would improve with any other brand or similar product. (What you lose in installation ease you gain in durability.) It did the job and kept my carpets from being destroyed from construction dust and grime!

This stuff is great. I was doing a complete bathroom remodel and my client had new carpet installed the week before. I put this down on the new carpet in the hallway and on the stairs. It was down for 2 weeks and when we pulled it up the carpet looked as good as new. I will be using this again in the future. One word of advice, the roll has red tape on firt 6" of the rool. Make sure you cut this off because it left a red mark on the carpet. I was able to scub it off, but next time I will make sure we cut the first 6" of the roll off before I put it down.

Product was shipped very fast. But is hard to put on floor. It sticks to itself and takes two people to handle and even then its hard to get on the floor. Need some kind of holder for it to be able to pull and set it on the carpet correctly. We have wrinkles in it everywhere and it was so hard to put down, we lost alot to it sticking on itself and gave up using it. Would be a great product if it was easier to use and put down.
