I've done a bit of looking, but haven't found anything that quite fits the bill. Something cheap like a tarpaulin or plastic sheet would not be very comfortable (or safe!) to stand on. Industrial rubber mats tend to be too expensive or too thick to roll up and toss in a corner.
Any suggestions?
I suggest a cheap throw rug from Home Depot. They come in many different sizes. Put plastic sheeting underneath to prevent anything from leaking through to the carpet.
