Not using as advertised, but...
This thing is awesome! Unconventional for what I'm doing though - I am using it as a ground mat for camping. We have a very large open bottom hot tent, and this may serves both as our footer, as well as a nice soft flooring material to walk, stand, and sit on. It elevates the camping experience dramatically!It really is easy to clean. I start by just using a mop with plain water on the bottom, which gets very muddy after the hot tent melts the frozen ground. When that's cleaned off, I flip it over, vacuum it off, and then spray clean it if needed (often not necessary).When it's dry, I roll it back up for the next trip. I love it.I do have the area under the wood stove cut out, and a fiberglass heat mat layered between the two. It was easy to cut. This product exceeds every expectation I had.

Quality Brand
Ordered the 22' Extra Large size. Glad I did cause the extra width also provides more coverage and floor protection for walking around vehicle. Had to trim the length and carpet was easy to cut, but it was difficult to cut in straight line due to not having a long enough straight edge. May be an easier way,Carpet comes rolled and folded, after 4 weeks still waiting for some creases to lay down. The included tape works good on a bare cement floor. You may want to have a helper to secure carpet when taping edges down so it lays flat, but tape can be repositioned without to much problems. Tires don't track marks and after a couple days of heavy rain still stayed clean and dried quickly from wet car. Easy to clean too. Overall we like the look, thickness and texture of carpet, I opted for the Armorall due to US made , quality shows.

Very nice!
My wife and I recently epoxied our garage floor ourselves, it was a ton of work but worth it! Even the best epoxies will start yellowing where the tires drive over time, leaving yellow tracks in the garage. To combat this, I bought this mat. The pictures were taken just minutes after pulling it from the box an laying it out. Several reviews state they had trouble with the corners not laying flat, using double sided tape, being too thin, ect. I didn't have any of these issues, nor do I think it is too thin for the purpose I purchased it for. As long as you don't try to adjust your steering wheel too much the mat will stay in place. I actually like that it is thin, it makes it easy to handle and lay out to your liking. The rubber backing is nice and seems to have a nice grip on the epoxy. Time will tell how this holds up over winters, but again what I'm really after is protecting the epoxy from direct tire contact. If it holds up I'll purchase another one for the other side of the garage. At that time I'll also update this review.UPDATE: After having the first one all summer, I purchased a second one for the other side of the garage. I thought it did a great job protecting the epoxy finish, as you can see I added a picture with the first mat I purchased pulled up, showing the bare floor. It is true you can power wash the mat out as advertised, I just did this earlier today and it cleaned up nicely. You can tell the difference from the mat I had over the summer as opposed to the one I just bought as the first one has faded a little, not a deal breaker though. The real test will be seeing how these hold up over the winter. I'll post another update in the spring when I clean them out. My recommendation still stands.SECOND UPDATE: I still like these mats very much. Although after two winters I had a hard time getting all the midwest salt out of them with my power washer since they do absorb a ton of water. Wear and tear and multiple washes seemed to wear out the mat and it certainly didn't look as nice as when it was new. Anyone dealing with heavy municipal salt in the winter is going to have to put more work into maintaining these mats. If you live in a climate that mostly sees rain you'll get far more life out of it. I still like them and I recently purchased a replacement. At the end of the day the mat takes the wear and tear and helps protect the epoxy which is ultimately what I wanted.

Mind the creases and the tape is worthless. But for the cost, it works well in the garage.
Just a couple of things to take note of: The photo of it's packaging is incorrect. It actually came rolled up and folded in half which is actually better than the multi-fold. However, in my photos below you will see that even rolled up, that crease down the middle is very difficult to get rid of. I laid out the carpet for 2 days first before laying it down and the crease was still there so I tried to just pull the carpet tighter before taping it down but as you can see, it's still pretty obvious. Speaking of taping it down... the tape they send with it is absolutely terrible! Maybe I just rolls that had been sitting in the hot sun for 10 years but as you can see in the photos, the edges wouldn't come apart cleanly and it barely stuck to the concrete (even though it says "concrete" in the description). The stickiness is very weak and I ended up purchasing heavy duty double stick tape on my own. I threw the rest of this tape away. So if you were expecting to save money because the tape is included, don't count on it.Between the 3 rolls, one was about 2 inches longer which wasn't an issue for my project but just be aware.As for durability, I've now had it down for a week and we park 2 cars on it. I will say that it works very well. I can even turn the steering wheel and it doesn't affect the carpet.Overall, you get what you pay for. The cost to epoxy my garage floor was close to $3,000 so only spending $300 was quite the bargain. Just do yourself a favor and order different double stick tape at the same time and if possible, steam out the wrinkles first before applying it to your ground.
