From How to Remove Carpet from a Stair Landing, Step 5: Clean the Subfloor
Once all the carpet, padding, and tack strips are removed, the subfloor will likely have dust, debris, and small wood fragments. Use a shop vac to thoroughly clean the entire floor surface. Pay close attention to the edges and corners where debris tends to accumulate. A clean subfloor is essential for proper adhesion and installation of new flooring.

0:02 Part one of do-it-yourself flooring. Grab a razor blade. Cut your carpet up into strips. You're going to start rolling it out and make sure you get that padding under it, too. As you can see here, I'm just rolling both of them together. Next, you're going to find the tack strips. Now, use a shovel, a hammer, a crowbar, anything to get the wood and the nails out. Make sure it's a nice clean finish. Another thing that helps is grabbing a shop back and just sucking up the dust and debris. Once that's done, you should have a nice clean finish like this room. [music] Now, you probably won't have to do this, but what I did was lay MDF board across all my floors where the carpet was to make it even with the tile. And I'm laying my laminate over everything. I just thought these videos were cool. It depends on what flooring you're doing, but I'm doing laminate. So, here's the underllayment that I'm laying now. And stay tuned for part two.
