What happens here

Before starting the sanding process, it's crucial to protect the surrounding flooring or carpet from dust and debris. Place protective coverings, such as kraft paper or a drop cloth, along the edge of the baseboards. Secure the coverings firmly with painter's tape to prevent them from shifting. Optionally, give the baseboards a quick clean with a vacuum or damp cloth to remove any loose dirt or grime before sanding.
