After the carpet is removed, the black underlayment, or carpet padding, will be exposed. This padding is often secured with staples or adhesive, and in this project, it was noted to be 'terrible to remove.' Begin by trying to pull up sections of the padding. If it's stuck, a pry bar or carpet scraper can be used to lift edges. Some padding might come up in large pieces, while other sections may tear and leave residue behind.
