Use a Hoover to hoover!
The story begins in 1907. Murray Spangler was cleaning rugs (tapijten). But all the dust (stof) raised from his broom (bezem) aggravated his asthma, and he called upon his inventor's creativity (creativiteit als uitvinder) to find a solution to the problem. W.H. Hoover bought the patent from Spangler in 1908. This was the beginning of a commercial success: to many people the trade mark "Hoover" has become a synonym for a vacuum cleaner, hence also the verb "to hoover".
