What is a home remedey to stripping paint off a wood floor?
You might try using a paint stripper and a putty knife, if you have a lot of elbow grease. Best way that I know is to rent a commercial floor sander, but you also need to wear a respirator and eye protection. If you don’t care about the finish on the wood and you are only concerned about lead, then I suggest that you buy a can of KILZ and paint over the area using KILZ. This will seal off the area and you can lay the carpet back over it.
