I used two-sided carpet tape to hold a small, fire-proof rug in front

the tape for removal without damaging the carpet? Maybe just soap and
water?

Have you tried goo-gone or goof-off ? The problem is that anything that
softens the adhesive may leave you with a sticky residue on the carpet .
Maybe you can try chilling it with ice and cracking it off ?

Goop or Gojo hand cleaner, or similar......
Work it in well. It wont harm the carpeting, but you'll need to clean it
off after with some soap and water.

(I'd use the non-abrasive type).
