cleaning carpet abutting a hardwood floor?
I used to put carpet samples on the hardwood floor next to the carpet . Then came up with the idea to use delicate surface Frogtape painters tape since it has light adhesive.
this is so I can spray right up to the edge without getting any on the wood. I can also run the CRB on the edge over the tape without any concern about the wood floor.
This has worked well for like forever. Until this past week when I ran across an older home with the old parquet floor in the foyer. The finish was wearing off in places. So I do my regular cleaning and when I take the tape off, everything looks fine.
Next day she calls and says there is a 2 inch line on the floor where the tape took the stain out of the floor. (I think she meant the finish, not the stain)
Suggestions or comments appreciated.
