As soon as carpet was invented, the invention of the carpet cleaning machine was not far behind. The first handheld machine for cleaning carpet was designed and tested in Chicago in the 1860s. The first electric vacuum machine was invented by an Englishman, H. Cecil Booth, in the early 1900s. At about the same time, a man named James Murray Spangler invented his own style of vacuum cleaner, which he sold to his cousin Hoover. We all know Hoover as a prominent name in vacuum cleaners. In fact, it’s a popular household name in the Western World.

The vacuum cleaner was heralded as a blessing for homemakers, whose daily task was to keep the house clean. The first vacuum cleaners could only suck up dust and dirt, but as modern technology advanced, wet cleaners and steam cleaners came out on the market. Steam cleaners had the advantage of killing bacteria and parasites deep in the carpet.

Carpet could cover the entire flooring in a dwelling and make it quiet and cozy, warm on the feet, and soft to the touch. Before vacuum cleaners, people used brooms on their carpet, but with the invention of the vacuum cleaner, people could remove dust and dirt faster and more thoroughly with less effort. As businesses, apartment complexes, hotels, and corporations hired people to clean their carpets, the commercial carpet cleaner was invented.

The vacuum cleaner uses a pumping device to suck up air through a hose, which in turn sucks up the dust and dirt from anything in front of it. Inside the vacuum cleaner, a filtering system collects dust and dirt for later disposal.

The seven main types of vacuum cleaners currently on the market are the upright, the canister, the backpack, the built-in, the robot, the handheld, and the wet/dry styles. These basic types of vacuum cleaners come in many different styles, sizes, and power voltage ranges.

A significant recent technological development has been the invention of the cyclone carpet cleaner, which collects dust and dirt in a large cylindrical container. The cylinder contains a series of filters that separate the dust and debris into stages. The air being sucked up into the cylinder is consequently cleaned and released back into the air through a central outlet.

Another fairly new invention, the robotic vacuum cleaner, will allow your carpet to be cleaned while you’re at work or sunning yourself on the patio. The control mechanisms are simple. The robotic vacuum cleaner can navigate its way around a house or apartment, removing the dust and particles from the floor, then return to its docking station for recharging.
