Vacuuming plush carpet
We spent so much time trying to decide on the best new carpet, and we picked this soft, plush carpet that looks and feels great to walk on, but our vacuum leaves big tracks that are so obvious. It is an upright, and sort of heavy, but tried our cheaper lighter one and it was just as bad. Just wondering if a canister vac might do better. Any ideas? Suggestions?

I suspect any vacuum you use will leave tracts.
My wife is an artist when it comes to a vacuumed room and I know she just cringes when we walk on it!

Anything will leave tracks whether it be a vacuum, you walking on it or swiping your hand across the carpet. The key is to channel your inner zen when vacuuming. Create a nice geometric pattern or curving lines that follow the path of chi through the room... then curse when someone walks on it making footprints.

So we just came up with the next million dollar invention, a floating vacuum that leaves no marks, just like the floating lawn mower which I would love to see one day!
