Why a vacuum is used depends on context, as vacuum has many scientific and practical uses beyond household cleaning. In household cleaning, vacuum cleaner is used to remove dust, dirt, crumbs, pet hair, allergens, and debris from floors, carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces using suction, improving cleanliness, hygiene, and indoor air quality, and reducing allergens that cause asthma. In science and industry, vacuum is used to create space with little or no matter to enable processes that require absence of air, such as vacuum packaging to preserve food by removing oxygen that causes spoilage, vacuum tubes in electronics historically, vacuum chambers for manufacturing semiconductors where dust-free environment is needed, vacuum distillation to lower boiling points and purify chemicals, vacuum drying, and vacuum forming for plastics. In physics, vacuum is used to study behavior of particles without air interference, such as in particle accelerators. In space simulation, vacuum chambers test spacecraft. In medicine, vacuum is used for wound drainage, suction during surgery, and vacuum-assisted delivery. So vacuum is used to clean, preserve, manufacture, and enable processes where air would interfere.
