Protect Your Belongings When Remodeling Your Home?
When tackling a remodeling job in your home, it can get very messy. Lay down some carpet guard across your carpet, along the pathways that people walk, and over the carpet where walls may be demolished or painted. Carpet guard will protect your carpet when contractors walk in with their dirty work boots, and if you're using some form of carpet guard, your carpet will not have to be replaced if you're painting and you spill some paint on the floor. Also, when painting, be sure to use blue tape to tape off portions of things you don't want painted.
