Lose the carpet!
Use the "crevice" attachment on your shop vac or vacuum cleaner, stretching a piece of nylon pantyhose material over the end which fits into the hose (nylon stockings would, in my opinion, provide more entertainment value, but that's another subject entirely

The restricted opening gives more suction than the carpet tool. You'll end up with a cleaner carpet, and, once you sort through the ball of carpet fuzz and other detritus, a pile of detail parts to remind you of long forgotten projects from the past. I learned this trick when my first model railroad "workshop" was in the kids' no-longer-used playroom, complete with a really sharp-looking shag carpet in vivid orange.
