Caution, using duct tape to tape onto carpet or marble, if you use  directly
on carpet you can pull the fibers from the carpets and now you have a
problem. Duct tape on marble, don't recommend it , Dr.Fred andi had a case
where the duct tape pull crystal and minerals from the marble. The
contractor thought he was protecting the surface  but actually damaged it.

Recommend blue tape on the carpet then red vinyl tape on to then protect. I
think MB carries the red and blue tape.

If you use the metholyne  chloride, use the flowing sprayable klen-strip
brand. It goes much farther than the gel. What we typically do on the
masking is Press 2 inch duct tape down between the carpet edge and the tile
with a spatula about a quarter-inch. Then we typically put three rows of
duct tape so you get at least 5 inches of flat surface that you can overlap
when you are scrubbing & extracting Then use the 24 or 48 inch plastic film
because you don't want that stuff splashing anywhere because wherever it
lands it's going to remove paint or stain from the wood pews.
Have wire brushes handy to remove and excess build up in the grout joint.
If you have to reapply stripper make sure the surface is dry. Water will not
allow stripper to make contact with wax residue. I learned that the hard
way.

Make sure you have some rust remover handy too. If you have to use the wire
brushes and they turn the grout joints black the rust remover will remove
the black metal marks. Make sure it's a neutral pH rust remover like the one
I have called "metal rescue". Not the fastest but it doesn't burn marble and
it'll get the job done.
Walking on methylene chloride is like walking on ice so be extremely careful
especially if you have helpers.
