The T-pins are easy to pull out, and won't hurt your carpet. The hard part is all the bending and crawling around on the floor. I'm not as young as I used to be. I have to give Alex Anderson credit for this method. I saw it once on Simply Quilts. The video may still be available on HGTV's website.

NO kids or pets in the house during the spraying or for a few hours after wards!
