The first vacuum cleaner is thought to have been created in the United States, in the mid 1800?s. Today, the vacuum cleaner is found in just about every household in the worlld! It is depended upon to keep carpets and other floors clean and free of dirt/debris. In the time of the first vacuum cleaner, however, things were much more different!

Since the beginning of time, we have found some way to personalize and accessorize out living environment. For the most part, rugs and carpeting have been the number one choice to hide and protect original flooring. How do you think that those rugs were cleaned in the old days? There were no motorized vacuums, so the ?Spring Cleaning? time wwas used to remove all of the rugs so that they could be shaken and beaten. Usually, the housekeeper or homeowner would use a metal or wooden rod to beat out the dust and dirt, and then the rugs would be left to air out.
