We have had somewhat better luck with FROGTAPE brand painters tape. But there is an art to applying it. -TAKE YOUR TIME. Don't rush. -after the tape is applied, run a ruler over it to seal the edge. -Paint all the coats you intend, THEN TAKE THE TAPE OFF! DO NOT WAIT! Slowly pull the tape at a 30-90 degree angle. The longer you wait, the more the danger of peeling the paint with the tape.

Also make sure that floor is clean before applying tape. If it's dirty or dusty you don't get good adhesion.

‘Paint’ the tape with plain water about 10 minutes before you paint. Causes the frog tape to creat a seal. Peal tape off before paint dries.
