The man who was said to have invented the motorized vacuum cleaner is Hubert Cecil Booth. Booth was a civil engineer who worked on the design of ferris wheels for amusement parks and large bridges and later on the design of engines for ships for the Royal Navy. In 1901, Booth says he went to ‘a demonstration of an American machine by its inventor’ at London’s Empire Music Hall.

Until recently there have not been many products available to effectively remove ice and snow from highways, streets, sidewalks, and parking lots. The products that have been available are your typical rock salt, or a salt sand mixture, to provide some melting and improve traction. The downside has been that these products corrode concrete and metal causing untold costs to bridges, roads, buildings, and roads every year, to say nothing of the clean up required every spring. These products are notorious for killing lawns, and plants thereby requiring replacement on a regular basis. And finally, these products create a need for a lot of household clean up, and are known to be unsafe for your pets.
