I used to use rubber chemical mats on the floor that had holes in them. They were expensive but collected dirt also making it hard to sweep or vacuum. I put them at the curb (they were gone in 15 minutes) and bought some solid rubber mates at SAMs that lock together like a picture puzzle. Grey on one side and bright colors on the other. They are 2 ft by 2 ft and I recall you get 5 per package for $15. Work GREAT.
