The ultimate duty of the vacuum bags is without a doubt to pick up the dust and dirt that a vacuum cleaner picks up, I mean its got to go somewhere. So let me give everyone a history class on its history

Old Vacuum Cleaner

In the 1900s a company out of Ohio called the air way sanitizer introduced the first vacuum cleaner to come with a disposable bag. Before them, everyone’s vacuum resembled those you take out on the fairway on a Sunday afternoon. They were heavy cumbersome machines made out of thick fabric, at first designed to be as flexible as possible and yet still trap the dust and dirt from the carpets.

The improvement made by folks out of Ohio when they introduced the disposable vacuum bags marked a huge improvement towards the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner compared to its predecessor. The bag, made out of paper at that time, was designed to fit inside the pouch as designed during this period. Cleaning the vacuum itself was not a chore anymore and more importantly the insides of the pouch was kept clean do that dust and dirt would not be blown out of the vacuum and of course like mentioned before you wouldn’t want to disperse the dust back in the house! What’s the point of that?

At this time each of the big manufacturers’ all designed their own vacuum bags made out of a selection of different papers. The problem here was that they were no universal and cannot be switched from one machine to another, and to add to that the parts and configuration were all different for each of the vacuums. From here, it was through this idea, that they release they can for lack of a better term to exploit a new stream of business income by offering vacuum bags! Not only do they have to rely on purely just machine sales

Before, people who had their machines all it needed was a cleaning here and there and bringing it into the shop for servicing, or if you feel adventurous you could do it yourself. But because of this surge, repair shops began to spring up across the country
And of course by today, these repair shops have died down, however vacuum bags still have a market just for the fact that each and every vacuum has its pros and cons that you should consider when purchasing, going forward I will definitely mention and do some introduction and reviews on some of the vacuum bags and vacuum cleaners out there for you
