Remove by suction
To vacuum up is to clean or remove something using a vacuum cleaner: I vacuumed up the crumbs from under the table.
Figuratively, it means to absorb or consume rapidly and thoroughly: The company vacuumed up all the available talent in the industry.
Kids vacuum up information at that age.
