    It is stapled to this wooden board in several places.
    The only way to remove this is to gently pull up the carpet until a staple is blocking. Use a small srewdriver and pry the staple out. Repeat about 30 times.
    Do not pull until something gives, unless you do not want to reuse the carpet.

    Thanks. Yeah, I didnt just start pulling cause I'm hoping to avoid adding interior carpet to my list at this time (not that mine are in great shape)...lol

    Got all the old material out...and wondering whats the best way to clean off the remaining bits that are being a pain with a scraper to get off?
