tolivac - most of the actual dirt came up the first time I filled the canister, and went straight to the bottom of the carrier bag. If you look closely at the pictures of the dirt in the canister, you can see the remaining fine grey dirt swirled within the fluff. Being an infrequently-used guest room, which has been suction-cleaned weekly for years, there will never be a huge amount of dirt in there to begin with.


The point of the photos was to demonstrate the vast amount of 'dead' carpet fibres, as you term it, which lurks within some carpets, even when the owners would claim, 'We've cleaned it every week!' Even a modern, powerful suction-only cleaner can't extract it. I could have used almost any upright/canister with powernozzle and obtained the same results - I only stress the convenience of the Dyson because it does not require constant, expensive bag changes!


lux1521 - it's certainly not my carpet, I wouldn't allow that aberration in my house! I can't stand that plush-pile stuff. As it happened, by the time I gave up and had to move on, the rate at which the fluff was coming out had slowed considerably. I think I'd got up most of it by that point. The first photo of the set is actually of the carpet once I had finished, and as you can see, no bald spots or threadbare areas - just well-groomed pile!
