Sound like pilling. If it is and it's all over you might need to use a Flymo ;) Otherwise it could be hands and knees with napping shears/scissors.
Afterwards, if madam "does what she's always done, she'll get what she's always got" ie the carpet will pill again. Maybe she isn't vaccing correctly or often enough?
Safe and happy cleaning :)

Did she say if it's all over or just in traffic lanes?
I'd take a guess it'd be most prevalent in front of the sofa etc, and then in the traffic lane from doorway to furniture.
I'd call this "bobbling" :)
My logic tells me it's more likely to be cause by "circular" forces rather than the "straight" movement impacted by a vacuum cleaner. It's normally where people scrub their feet around on the floor when they're sitting, or where a change in direction occurs in a traffic lane.
Have a quick go with her vacuum cleaner, I bet it isn't an upright, or if it is it'll be a poop one where the brush does nothing ;)
