Carpet Protector

[Spare Tool]

Doing an ensuite next week in a 3 storey town house, cream carpets top to bottom so thought I'd invest in a roll of carpet protector, bought a roll off ebay £15 for 100m, seemed a god deal till it turned up today and don't seem stick to carpet..useless, any recommendations?

I use the Topps stuff, not bad money. I think i pay £20 and it sticks like tihs backwards.

Thanks for that, think you're allowed to say ***** in here haha how many mtrs you get for £20?

I can't remember. I think it's 50mtrs but could be wrong. For me it's all about the sticky. It does what it says on the tin, nice and thick as well. I've tried the cheaper ones, as you say not sticky, also you come back the next day and they have all come up. The topps one does last the entire job, which for me is better value.

The roll and stroll is the best, but sometimes on thick fluffy carpets, nothing sticks.

Obviously you get what you pay for, already ditched my roll in the bin...£15 down the drain, I will be leaving a negative feedback :|

ask them if carpet has scotch guard or some other stain protection on it, i have had same problem before,and that was the cause the two rolls i bought would not stick, ended up buying a few polythene backed dust sheets,,

Had a look on Topps site and they sell for £38 a roll but that is with no discount....

£38. Bargain, I would never pay that. To be fair my local Topps are pretty good. There isn't much else around here so it's good that they do look after me.

Keep in mind that sometimes once you will take foil off it will leave adhesive on carpet
