Cleaners’ Henry left lines on my good carpets

I recently paid some well-reviewed cleaners to clean my house ready for estate agent photos. Mostly they did a good job, but they used a Henry vac which has left lines all over my better quality rugs and carpet. (Doesn’t show so much on the old worn ones.) I can’t erase them with re-vacuuming or a carpet sweeper or walking over, and I’m rather annoyed. I’ll try shampooing the rugs, which I can move, but does anyone know a remedy for getting Henry lines out of a newish carpet please? It looks as if a toddler went wild in there!

Thanks. Or is this a thing I don’t know about and people like them?

Try a rubber headed brush, the type hair salons use to sweep up hair, you’ll be amazed at with the results.

The stiff brush does seem to be helping, thanks! The rug was from Mastercraft Rugs in Nelson, called Royal Opera, made in Belgium apparently. I got it 13-14 years ago.

Nelson as In Lancs?
