In current brane theory, there are many brane combinations of space and time which effect particles bound to those branes. Gravity from the graviton particle (not found yet, but theorized) is the single force which is not bound by branes and the nature of gravity as a weak force marco-wise is theorized to be weak because it is spread across so many branes beyond our brane. If there are other branes not directly discernable by our brane, you literally could be vacuuming up dark matter, but there would be a 'mass/gravity effect that would not escape your attention. So, no, you wouldn't likely be vacuuming it up regularly if you don't find your 'bagged grit' to be unusually heavy.

That's the same thing the Oreck guy told me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'd like to clarify. "Brane" is short for membrane, the theoretical construct becoming popular as an explanation of the shortcomings of String Theory.
