  1. 2:37–4:28 Cut and Roll Carpet Strips From How to Remove Carpet from a Stair Landing, Step 2: Score the Carpet Edges

    To make carpet removal more manageable, especially for large rooms, cut the carpet into strips. Start at one side of the room and use a utility knife with a sharp blade to cut lines across the carpet. Apply significant pressure to ensure the blade cuts through both the carpet and the backing. Once a strip is cut, roll it up tightly. Rolling the carpet into smaller sections makes it easier to carry out of the house without damaging walls or struggling with heavy, bulky pieces. Always wear gloves to protect your hands from the rough carpet and potential sharp edges.
