The invention of the vacuum cleaner was a blessing and a

curse. The problem was that women would be spending more time in the home
taking care of housework and rearing the children. The blessing from the vacuum
cleaner is that it would remove dirt and dust from the home providing less bacteria
and germs. So not only were there social and cultural impacts of owning and using a
vacuum cleaner, there were also environmental and health effects to the American
family.

The idea of technology to improve the home was making a woman job easier, but it
was confining her to the home making her a domestic slave doing domestic labor.[1]
The earlier made cleaners were “clumsy of construction” and “awkward to handle”
that it required 2 people to operate it.[2] As time moved forward vacuum cleaners
were getting better by design and more comfortable to use. The housewife broke the
curse for the vacuum cleaner by saying that it was fast and easy and the attachments
“Made short work of cleaning hangings, tufted furniture, cornices, picture frames, and
remote corners under bureaus and bookcases.”[3] Vacuum cleaners also cleaned more
thoroughly than brooms and made it possible for the housewife to do other chores or
duties.[4]

The United States was not the only country trying to gain information about domestic
duties. These studies included getting observed data from these housewives. The
data would consist of time budget studies and detailed analysis of their everyday
routines including washing and drying dishes, waste disposal, washing, drying and
ironing clothes, and vacuuming.[5] In 1941 the Bureau of Labor released statistics
that 80% of all the residences in the United States were wired for electricity, 79% of
the housekeeping families had electric irons, 52% had power washing machines and
refrigerators, and 47% had vacuum cleaners.[6]

The environmental and health impact that the vacuum cleaner had was immense to the
American family. H. Cecil Booth, a British engineer, invented a gas powered vacuum
cleaner.[7] It was so large that it had to be transported around by a vehicle. He used
this machine to remove tons of germ-laden dust and dirt particles from many public
places like theaters, shops and even homes. During World War II he received an
assignment to remove suspected germs from the Crystal Palace. Naval reserve men
were quarantined with spotted fever in this building and were dying fast. After 2
weeks of vacuuming and many truckloads of dust and dirt, his vacuum cleaner put an
end to this epidemic.[8]
The vacuum cleaners that are manufactured today have included filters and special
dust bags to help reduce allergens, pesticides, and anything else that could affect your
health. There have been studies done that corroborate the vacuum cleaners
contribution to reduce these dust allergens.[9] The vacuum cleaner has also been
tested to see what kind of allergens and pesticides are being exposed to the families in
the home. Small children who spend a lot of time on the carpet are at high risk to
becoming exposed to these harmful dust particles.[10] The vacuum cleaner keeps the
waste and assures its nonuse. Everything that goes into the vacuum cleaner becomes
an item for discard.[11] The vacuum cleaner is one of the topmost domestic goods
ever produced. Its speed and efficiency makes available extra time for relaxation and
less for cleaning. It’s obvious that the vacuum has an important and notable history.

housewife will be around for many years to come.
