We want to restore the wood floors in our home but they have carpet glued down to them. Is there an easy and inexpensive way to remove the carpet and glue with out hurting the underlying wood?

We are amatures at this so please be specific, step by step so we don't mess anything up.

Any help would be appriciated.

I have been reading forum posts where folks have had success using a citrus stripper. Read and follow directions. Test any product in an inconspicuous area to see the effects before proceeding.
