Step 3 · Cut Carpet Treads
Using a sharp utility knife or a heavy-duty carpet cutter, carefully cut along the marked lines on the back of the carpet treads. Employ a metal ruler or straight edge as a guide to ensure clean, straight cuts. Make multiple shallow passes with the knife rather than trying to cut through the entire thickness in one go, especially for thicker carpet materials.
