Step 2 trim long loose strands.
Carpet corners lifting up.
Instead trim off the offending strands neatly.
If that fails and provided it s on a solid floor you could opt for double sided carpet tape.
Pulling up old carpet for the new laminate floor.
This might force the fibres to stretch in the direction you want.
Start at the shortest wall and lift up the corner of the carpet with pliers to detach it from the tack strip.
Place one sheet on the carpet and walk the item onto the plywood move it slowly one side at a time almost as if it was walking forward.
Carpets that curl up at the corners are a tripping hazard.
Never pull on a loose carpet thread since this will cause the entire piece to begin unraveling.
A carpet or rug should lay flat all around regardless of whether it sits on tile hardwood or another carpeted surface.
If that s the case you could try soaking that corner and rolling it around a pipe of sorts in the opposite direction to how it curls and let it dry or blow dry it.
If the item is too heavy to be completely lifted off the carpet then use two sheets of sturdy plywood to move it.
It is best to lift the item and carry it if it is possible.
