Found some used but decent carpet tiles going for cheap at a junkshop in Puchong, hunted down some carpet cleaning foam at Ace, and make it work with good old fashioned elbow grease.
Before
Pardon the mess in the bathroom, temporarily placed it there to get it off the floor.
After
Breakdown of costs:
Used carpet tiles - RM80 (RM2 x 40pcs)
3M Carpet Cleaner - RM60 (RM30 x 2 cans)
Elbow Grease - RMPriceless

Good job!
You use PVC glue to stick the tiles to the floor? Any prep work on the floor before laying the tiles? Pardon my questions-new to DIY. Don't mind sharing the name of the Puchong junkshop. Does it have used rugs/carpets? I need them for a DIY punching bag.
Carpet tiles not really necessary to stick, just lay them out nice and compact will be fine. But if you really want to, you should use Dunlop CA glue. Be careful not to breathe the fumes.
Actually, you can find used rugs/carpets online. Try mudah.my or lelong.com.my. that's where i found the shop from.
