Time to get creative, Air.
Go to a local grocery store and ask the manager what night they mop. Then, make a deal!
Alternatively, drop a jar of pickles on the floor, and when the Mop & Bucket Brigade arrives, insist that you clean up the mess. The jar of pickles is less expensive than a mop, and you'll be 'dragging' in no time!

whow...
In the meantime
I just tried wrapping the handle of my impact bag around the clubhead of an old hybrid I have here and that gives a lot of resistence (maybe too much?) when I try dragging (driving) it along the carpet.

Are there any weight limitations to how heavy this drag/push is supposed to be? The "creative" solution I am trying now is rather heavy (good strengh training?) |

No limitations, Air. Drag away!
"Properly manipulated, Clubhead Inertia can withstand all the Lag Pressure anyone can generate . . . " (7-19)
Describing the feel of loading and delivering clubhead lag pressure has always been a challenge to golf instructors. In his 1946 classic On Learning Golf, Percy Boomer offered as an analogy these commands to navy deckhands as they pull their ropes with three degrees of tension:
"Take up the slack."
"Take up the strain. "
"Haul away!"

Air, as a fella who has tried lots of these drills from frosty March until now...
Might I recommend pacing yourself and taking careful notes as you practice and play? If you have a large discount chain, you might invest in a portable lawn chair, vitamins, a note pad, pen or pencil set, and depending on your environs, a portable heater, Gatorade, hot chocolate and suitable clothing? 
My point is that you enjoy the process of trail and error. You have fellow scientists here to encourage and guide you so relax, get the book and dvd's etc. and make yourself comfortable and effective.
I am a goal-setting type. My goal was to get to a single digit hcp. index in one season. I'll be there by the time the snow flies in Philly, I believe. My next goal is to prove my skills to my new friends on this site by besting them in a match or two on a neutral course in April. We'll see how that turns out! 
Hauling away!!!!

I am contemplating to buy a St. Bernards dog to mop the floor with.

Never hang out with the "Bucket Brigade" when there is loose pickles around  .
