Storing Carpet
 

My wife is getting fed up with the rolls of carpet offcuts being
stored in the house and wants them moved to the garage. They are
100% Polypropylene (actually http://tinyurl.com/7e8vz - and I would
recommend http://ukcarpetsdirect.com/ ) and there is also a length
of Cloud 9 underlay.

How should I protect these offcuts for storage in an unheated,
fairly damp garage?

Industrial cling-film, keep them raised on bits of 4x2
wrapped in same, cover with a cheap plastic tarpaulin.

In that case they are entirely plastic. Store them anyway you like, nothing
much will happen to them. I've known of 100% polyprop carpets being hosed
down in the garden to clean them.

Clean, new carpet, ok.
Carpet that's been used at all is much trickier to store, as normal
wear will have impregnated them with a layer of food for mould.
Removing that is tricky later.
