Tear a strip off floor covering (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpet

I believe this is a double definition.

'tear a strip off' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'floor covering' is the second definition.
(carpet is a kind of floor covering)

(Other definitions for carpet that I've seen before include "roll of fabric?" , "Flooring fabric" , "Be on this floor covering to be reprimanded" , "It could be flying" , "Floor cover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
