He cleaned the Queens carpet before a big party which helped to propel the new fangled product to fame. But it was my understanding that ever since, all vacuum cleaners are called a Hoover in the UK. This was true in the US for many years.
 
Yea i think everyone refers to a vacuum cleaner as a hoover, i don't though, its a watchamacallit that females use.
