Default Alternative to spray foam for filling gaps?

Is there a weatherstripping type product I can push into the gap at the
bottom of a wall to prevent drafts?

I'm looking to avoid spray foam because it's a finished area with carpet
that would not clean up easily.


Spray foam, does not really spray like paint, it comes out like a whipped
cream can. So it only goes where you want it more or less, unless you are
firing it all over. Sometimes it drips. To protect the carpet you lay down a
drop cloth, plastic sheet or newspapers and possibly mask the wall with the
same stuff taped on to protect finished areas.
