Thank you, Tim.  Geo makes the point that he wonders if the adhesive holding the strip to the floor may be weaker than the actual Velcro lock itself.  Wondering about that.

My wife sews a lot.  I asked her for some velcro and she had some peel and 
stick "heavy duty" velcro.  I think she got it at JoAnns.  The stuff has 
extremely strong backing.  After it sits 24 hours it is almost impossible to 
pull off.  The velcro portion is also stronger than normal.  Great stuff

I've seen in archives that some prefer Velcro to hold their carpets in 
place, especially in the footwell, so they can be removed and dried when 
wet.

Only experience I have is with big box Velcro strips.  These don't seem to 
adhere to an object without peeling relatively quickly.
