The verb かける in this sentence
かける is simply the verb that is used with 掃除機.

> 掃除機をかける = "to vacuum-clean / to hoover"

In this case かける is usually written in _kana_ , although the correct _kanji_
would be 掛ける.

Similarly, one uses

> アイロンをかける = "to iron"  
>  [雑巾]{ぞうきん}をかける・雑巾[掛]{が}け(を)する = "to wipe"
