wooden floorboards

[hels]

There is carpet gripper glued to the wooden boards in my new property. I wish to remove the carpet. What is the best way to remove the carpet gripper from the wooden floorboards to create least damage?

heelllooo hels and welcome

hopfully the floor was varnished or greasy and whatever it was stuck with will let go easily

i would suggest a wide flat bladed paint stripper held flat on the floor and tapped with a hammer to try and get between the grip and floor to push appart hopfully without taking chunks out the floor or leaving bits off gripper rod on the floor

They should pop out easily as described

Also if you are sanding afterwards any marks should vanish anyway
