Birthday of the electric vacuum cleaner
Celebrated on 30 AugustThe vacuum cleaner has long ago become an integral part of household appliances.
Almost all housewives cannot imagine the process of home cleaning without this miracle unit. And we must thank Hubert Booth for the creation of the cleaning machine, who on August 30, 1901 patented the world's first technology for sucking up dust and dirt - an electric vacuum cleaner. On the same day, he registered a furniture and carpet cleaning company - British Vacuum Cleaner Company. Some of Booth's first clients were the Queen herself and members of the British Admiralty.
An interesting fact is that the first vacuum cleaner was transported on a horse-drawn carriage, and cleaning took place through the window frame using a long hose. Before, the room had to be cleaned with a broom, and the carpets were taken outside and knocked out using a special device.
Despite its bulkiness and noise generated during operation, the vacuum cleaner quickly gained popularity among the upper classes of the population, only they could afford to purchase this equipment. With the advent of new technology, living conditions in terms of sanitation have significantly improved. In 1903, wealthy people organized evenings in honor of the miracle unit. It was considered good manners for staff to vacuum the floor in the presence of guests.
There are no large-scale celebrations on this day, but every owner of an electronic device has an extraordinary reason to have fun. On this day, we propose to organize an original party in the “Freken Bock” style, hold a fascinating lecture on the evolution of the device, or organize an exhibition.
As an option, you can arrange a day of general cleaning in the apartment and properly test all the capabilities of this equipment. But if you are an avid fighter for cleanliness and use a vacuum cleaner for every little reason, then the day has come to give it a well-deserved rest. In one case or another, the choice is yours.
The birthday of an electric vacuum cleaner is an excellent occasion for organizing all kinds of promotions in retail chains selling household appliances or directly at factories that produce this unit.
This holiday does not have the status of an international event, and not many people know about it. Sometimes in the media there are references to the creator of man’s most useful household assistant, which is a kind of popularization of this event.
1. The invention of the electric vacuum cleaner was the first harbinger of the end of the plague epidemic.
2. More than 800 million electric vacuum cleaners are sold worldwide every year.

A lot has changed since Booth's time, and the vacuum cleaner has evolved significantly.
