We bought a room size silk carpet in Shanghai from what I think is a reputable dealer, but when we vacuum, tiny white threads appear. Some of them seem to be cut off ends from the weaving and they vacuum away. But others seem to stay and I don't want to pull them very hard to remove them. I tried using the wood floor attachment, rather than the power carpet one, but still the same thing. Is this typical of new silk carpets? Is vacuuming going to ruin it?
