Default Getting the dust bunnies out of the carpet

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get the little white dust bunnies out of my carpeting, especially under the seat and between the side edge of my seat and the door. Anyone know of any vaccum cleaner attachment that actually works for this? Normally, I use the vaccuum attachment with the brush for cloth and carpet but it's to big to fit (naturally). I've tried using the crevice attachment but it can't really knock the dust bunnies loose to suck them up. At this point, I'm afraid I'll need to go through with tweezers to pick up the little white dust bunnies by hand. Anyone know of any vaccum attachments or tricks I can use to get the little dust bunnies in the crevices?

Please note; I've already pushed the seat all the way forward. Also, I know I can just unbolt the seat but that seems like a real big pain in the but just to clean under it.

Personally, I use one of those rollers with tape on them...you know, the kind used to pick up pet hair.

Hmm ok,

I tried using tape to pick up the bits but it's not working....

Are you talking about the lint roller with the sticky stuff on it? or are you talking about the lint rollers that are made with felt (or something like that).

Haven't tried the damp microfiber yet. That'll be next.

Cannister vacs come with a attachment that has a brush strip on the front. This works to get up things stuck on the carpet. I use one on my Shark and it works pretty well.
