But some amazing inventions greatly facilitated the cleaning process, making it simple and quick. For example, in 1876, a young American, Melville Bissel, invented a mechanical brush for cleaning carpets. Thanks to its practicality and reasonable price, she immediately became a hit among housewives. It was this device that became the prototype of a modern vacuum cleaner.
