A Brief But Interesting History of the Home Vacuum Cleaner

These days, vacuum cleaners are a common tool in any home cleaning toolbox, however this has not always been the case. In the recent past, cleaning was a task performed with the help of a lot more primitive devices, like the reliable sweeping brush or broom. And while these tools were surely of enormous worth to the home cleaner who had nothing else to use, we certainly have made great advances since then, and, in a few ways, have come almost full circle.

It was the Industrial Revolution which set the cleaning world alight. Before that period, the sweeping brush had been king, and actually, this was likely quite sufficient. But though the presence of heavy dust and grime increased during the revolution, as the cities in which the majority lived became covered in soot and other commercial by-products, the dust which was created was really not enough reason for housewives to become the queens of sanitation they actually did.

Around this time, however, a huge propaganda campaign was launched that worried people with its prophecies. Overall health as well as lives were in mortal danger if dust was not controlled, and cleaning goods of all types exhibited a tremendous jump in sales.

It was against this backdrop that the early vacuum cleaner was invented. Introduced in Chicago in 1865, this hand pumped device lead the way in vacuum development.

Followed by a number of comparable products, the design became increasingly more intricate as the years progressed, with the vacuums growing progressively more complex and multifunctional, being used as sideboards, among other things. However, needing 2 people to operate it, this type of machine was less than user friendly.

The inexpensive availability of electrical power opened brand new doors in vacuum development. Emerging just after the turn of the 20th century, the electric powered vacuum cleaners, manufactured by brands such as Hoover, made housework a lot easier for millions. By using a fan engine and a pillow case as a dust collector, a man known as Spangler started a trend. Soon after, William H. Hoover started his company, and the rest, as they say, is history.
