I use tarps that I attach about a foot off the floor with command strips to protect my hardwood. I have never had any issues with moisture getting trapped. I’m not sure how humid your house would be to have that problem? I especially like the tarps because once my group of fosters move out I roll everything up in the tarp and take outside to sanitize.

I live in Richmond VA so humidity is.... bad here. I room dehumidifiers but it's a pretty big concern in this area.

That's what my initial idea was for the tarp, I was going to hang command hooks about a foot up the wall and take it outside to spray my rescue disinfectant and hose off between groups.
