KleenKover Carpet Film Temporary Carpet Protection 24" X 200' Reverse Wind - Made in USA

I bought this to protect the carpets in our new house. We closed on a day that had 8" of snow, so I knew that there were going to be LOTS of muddy shoes coming in and out of the house while we moved in. I just had the carpets cleaned and didn't want them ruined, and this stuff seemed like a better option than buying a ton of rugs for the floors.It worked beautifully. Its super easy to apply, though a little time consuming. I was able to cover all the hallways, half of the living room, and a full stairway. The stairs were tricky, but this stuff stayed in place the whole time! It didn't even look half-bad on the floors. I was worried about how slippery it would be if we were just in our socks (especially on stairs) but it has just enough texture on the top that you don't slide around. It really was perfect for all our needs.There was no sticky residue when I removed it from the carpets, and the plastic was definitely a life-saver for the carpet because when I pulled it up, the plastic was brown from all the water/mud from our shoes during the move.I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who needs to protect their carpet for any reason.

Was moving out of a rental and didn't want to get the carpets dirty so I opted for a roll of this plastic film. It's a little hard to work with because of the stickiness but it worked out great. Once you lay it down, it doesn't move. I would suggest 2 people to lay it down on carpeted stairs. One person to hold the roll taught as the other lays it down. For such a thin piece of plastic, it held up well to the foot and furniture traffic. When removing the film, I suggest that you pull it back at an angle and step on the carpet as you pull it up, otherwise you might stretch or pull up the carpet off the tack strips if you're not careful. The glue is sticky but does not leave a residue. The instructions say to remove after 45 days so I'm guessing that eventually, if left on the carpet too long it will be hard to remove.

I used this on short nap carpet and it worked well. It was fairly easy to unroll and apply to the carpet. I debated on purchasing the 36" wide roll but I'm glad I didn't. I purchased the 24" roll and overlapped it in the middle of the stairs and hallway. This made a much better walking surface as the edges (one layer) did not stick to the carpet as well. As sticky as this stuff is, I expected it to stick more than it does. If you have the option to start the roll on another surface (my case was a wood floor) it helps to anchor it. I had in on the carpet for about 3 weeks and removal was a breeze. There was no residue left on the carpet. I've never purchased this type of product before so I can't compare it to anything. Overall, I was glad I purchased it during my remodel to keep the drywall dust under control.

We used this on our basement carpet when a sump pump and drain tile were installed. There was significant concrete dust, drywall dust, and other material going up and down the stairs and through the carpeted room. As I pulled it up, I wasn't paying enough attention at one point and some of it slipped through. Trying to get that off the carpet demonstrated how much this product helped us out. Putting it down was pretty easy (there were two of us) and when we need to do it again I will try to be more cognizant of giving it a decent overlap when there's a lot of dust/grit involved, so I don't have to be as careful when pulling it back up again to make sure nothing slips through. Worked great on our stairs as well, we did two runs along them to cover the stairs though I see on the box there is a product specifically for stairs. As it says it's not recommended for use in basements and ours can get humid, I waited as long as I could to put it down and pulled it up as soon as I could once the work was finished. I also didn't notice any tears or punctures, despite the heavy duty work that was being done in our basement.

I have no idea how this product received so many stars when I purchased them. This "supposed" adhesive floor covering did not stick to my carpeting at all (yes, it is synthetic fiber)!! We had to use 2 rolls because we live in the sticks and had to start demo-ing the upstairs the night this product arrived. I wish I could have sent it all back! Not only did it not stick to my carpet- it actually pulled away from the walls & moved when you walked on it! The only thing it did stick to was itself- which I know because we did a lot of overlapping to try to compensate for the movement & lack of thickness (protection). We would have been WAY BETTER OFF buying a thicker plastic sheeting and taping it down!!! Then you wouldn't have to use 2 people to lay it out & have it not protect anything anyway! TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY- DO NOT BUY!!!!

I purchased this prior to a master bathroom remodel that was supposed to take 3 weeks. We have a long hallway with newer carpet that we didn't want trashed during spring/sloppy construction.The project ended up taking almost 3 months due to Covid-19/contractor issues. We had 3-4 strips going down the hallway (one on each edge and 1-2 in the center overlapping) to protect our carpet. We did replace about half way thru when there was a week break in construction due to contractor's scheduling.After construction was finished there was no residue left on our carpet (which I was worried about due to how long we had it applied to our carpet) and it was very durable. It did not rip/tear with the heavy boots/foot traffic and kept the spring mess and construction mess off of the carpet.I would not hesitate to purchase this again. We actually have recommended it to many people since.It was super easy for my husband and I to apply. It might be difficult by yourself though.
