30 Years and 300 Vacuum Cleaners

David Whan • 23 October 2019

A couple of years ago, a young man named Steve Cook made the headlines for having the third largest collection of vacuum cleaners in the UK. He had proudly amassed over 300!


Steve claims he has been collecting vacuums since the age of 3, and 30 years later his collection has grown to 300. Forget the toys and Lego; young Steve found his passion and enjoyment in vacuums. This may seem rather strange, but we think he is a saint in the cleaning world and this level of obsession matches how we feel about cleaning! It’s important to be passionate about something and if that means buying 300 vacuums then so be it! 


Look at Steve’s face when he is talking – he clearly loves his vacuum cleaners!


This video of Steve really struck a chord with our commercial cleaning business:


  1. It’s cleaning related - so of course we love it.
  2. Anyone who shares the same kind of passion as us deserves a medal.
  3. Steve’s level of commitment to vacuum cleaners is one of a kind.


Steve is our hero!

For us, our passion is making our clients happy with a professional quality cleaning service so they can work, live, and exercise in a clean and healthy environment. We have a lot of vacuum cleaners of our own but not quite as many as Steve Cook. 


Great job, Steve!
