I always white mark the carpet with one of these going at too hard



I'm thinking a rough brush and the suction is what i'd be better off using.

What you use and where can i get such attachment

I do the same. They aren't the best.

Do you have a pet hair brush attachment? That's probably much better to use. I have one, but never bother using it.

I use an old VAX on the cars, it's about 4 years old now but gives quite good suction. Have a Dyson for use in the house which will eventually be transferred for car use. I don't mind purchasing some Dyson tools if these are better.

I have like a soft brush attachment for the VAX but it's a bit useless on the car carpets.

The end of the attachment has probably been scuffed on the floor or something I'd say. I've had similar happen in the past. To save you having to go so hard at it with the vacuuming give the carpet a going over with a stiff bristled brush to draw out the dirt

Stiff brush is not a bad idea and it's pretty much free
