Billions of cleaning tools!

Early humans lived in caves and spent days eating raw meat, which may have required cleaning. Gathering the twigs lying around, he must have slipped beside the pieces of meat scattered in the cave. Sometimes a strong wind would blow and the leaves would fall from the chomera trees and a cloud of twigs would fall on them. Even then, he will be able to make temporary shawls of the same branches.

After the fire had started, he would have needed to collect the ashes scattered in the cave, then he would have cut a leaf from a tree with long leaves and made a soup out of it. He may have killed himself by making a duche of soft bark to clean the stains that fell while making cave paintings. That's when the search for cleaning tools began!

No researcher in the world can say the exact date on which the cleaning tools like broom, broom, self etc. were invented. Such discoveries coincide with human evolution, so finger-pointing cannot be claimed. However, given the amount of research and evidence that has been claimed, the interesting evolution of cleaning manages to grab our attention.

Levi Dickenson, a farmer in Massachusetts, USA, made a broom out of sorghum stalks for his 18th wife. His smart wife spread the broom around the city in such a way that farmer Levy seemed to get orders to make a similar broom. The broom existed before that, but Levi Dickens made money by adopting his first business model, but in a few days the stalks of sorghum were disintegrating. Also, it took a long time to make one. Levi Dickens built a wooden machine to make the broom durable and speed up production. It was the first machine in the world to make brooms.

Levi Dickenson's machine became the basis for a foot-operated broom machine in 1910, which revolutionized the manufacture of brooms. Until now, hand-made and long-sleeved brooms were made, but for the first time in the world, a broom that is attractive in appearance was made. In 20-25 years, the technique of making brooms became very popular in America. According to one report, there were more than 200 broom-making factories in the United States in the 19th century.

In another century, the technique of making brooms spread beyond America and reached Europe. Machines from all over the world from Europe brought immense diversity in the making of broom-brooms. In countries like India, the practice of making brooms by extracting ropes from coconut leaves has been prevalent for centuries, but machine-made brooms, large and small, began to appear in India in the period of 150-20. For centuries we used to make brooms out of mouthpieces to clean the sanctum sanctorum of the temple of God.

In the period of 120-90, the broom had conquered the world market. Became a small and big factory all over the world. Now even brooms are made from plastic material. Separate house, separate kitchen, separate washroom - the quantity of such brooms can be seen in the market today.

The evolution of cleaning equipment, which started with a broom, has now reached robotic cleaners. The useless piece of clothing used to be its own until recently, but now bucket mop is rampant. There is a big market in the world for bucket mops of one thousand to two thousand starting from a simple mop stick of 20-2 rupees. The ancestor of the mop is said to have been discovered in the 19th century, but the mop gained popularity after 2006.

The car's windshield wiper was invented in 1905. Inspired by this, floor wipers were made in 19. Small and large size wipers became useful in kitchens and bathrooms as they could be easily cleaned with a liquid wiper poured on the surface. By the end of the 20th century, there were many foam-based varieties.

The first vacuum cleaner was invented by American researcher James Spengler in 1908. The American company Black & Decker is credited with making the vacuum cleaner its first commercial success as a 'carpet sweeper'. Cordless vacuum cleaners are now becoming popular in India as well.

The world of cleaning has now reached robotic cleaners. In the 19th century, the Swedish company Electrolux built the first robotic cleaner. New features are constantly being added. But given the current situation, it may take a decade and a half for a robotic cleaner to gain popularity in countries like India!

Soap making with the help of natural substances was started by man in AD. BC did around 300. In the same period, detergents were made using vegetable oils. It is claimed that such materials were used in ancient times to remove stubborn stains based on circumstantial evidence found during excavations.

Soaps and detergents began to come into common use in the 19th century. There was a special emphasis on hygiene as medical science developed. After epidemics struck in the 19th and 20th centuries, scientists began to insist on cleanliness. This led to an increase in the use of soap and cleaning chemicals in European countries.

Detergents began to be used liberally in Europe and America after the 70's and 80's. Under its influence, it began to have a market in other countries as well. Germany introduced modern detergents to the world in 1918. Today, there are many chemicals mixed liquids available in the market. From kitchen cleaners to toilet cleaners, dishwashing, self-cleaning liquids are now used all over the world.

Due to this situation, the market for household cleaning equipment in the world is currently 15 to 16 billion. The market is expected to grow by five per cent in the next two to three years. It is not surprising that the global market for cleaning equipment will reach નું 21 billion by 205, according to one estimate.

In short, the descendants of the 'Maftiya' broom made of coconut leaf stalks and the 'cheap' broom of sorghum stalks are worth billions today!
