My 1986 Dolphin still sports the original carpet. I have pulled it out wherever I can, but I'm afraid that taking it out from under the cabinetry etc. will open a can of worms that I wish I hadn't started. Last year I covered it up with a runner and that was ok. I want the noise and heat buffer but can do without the alternative life forms it must be harboring. Has anyone removed all their rug? Tips? Warnings? Thanks for any suggestions.
