How To Protect The Carpet In My Dining Room From Messy Toddlers!?
I have a dining room that for some reason has carpet in it. I have two toddlers and really don’t want to have to pay the fees to replace the carpet when we move out. I’d like to know some good ideas for putting something under the table and chairs to keep it easy to clean. I have heard of using the carpet protector sheets for showing homes but the table is too heavy to move so it needs to be something I can sweep or vacuum. Any ideas? Preferably something that won’t be hideous.

How Can I Protect A Carpet From Moisture On The Underside?
I want to put inexpensive carpet on the floor of a storage building that has a plywood floor resting directly on the beams. Water is somehow seeping into the plywood occasionally – it appears to be from below (there is no drip from above), but underneath the building is bone dry, and because of the construction of the floor it is not feasible to tear it up and determine the source. I’d like to just ignore the problem and put in the carpet anyway. Is there a barrier material that would be suitable to put under the carpeting?
(I’m looking for a seat-of-the-pants, stopgap kind of thing — this is only meant to last 4, maybe 8 years at best, and needs to be fairly cheap. Yes, I know it’s not the ideal solution … I just need to prevent the carpet from mildewing, I don’t care what happens to the plywood since eventually the floor will need to be fixed anyway.)
