Today Niomi Campbell stated her comunity service cleaning in New York – as punishment for chucking a mobile phone at housekeeper.  We mentioned this a  few days ago. Campbell was, aparently , sporting black patent stiletto boots, brown trousers and a knee-length black jacket.

Not sure if higheels are the best foot wear for cleaning but in a nice footnote.

 ”Campbell recently said she’d auction off the jeans and boots (designer as yet unknown) she’s wearing for the job in aid of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund“

Thanks to the register for the tip

Update She did actually bring a pair of more sensible boots to change into.

Time Saving Tips for Cleaning #1

March 2, 2007 Posted by Administrator in : Cleaning Advice , add a comment

Cleaning you  house or flat just like cleaning any office or business  can take a lot of time and energy, and most people would probably rather be somewhere else. Here is a list of cleaning supplies to keep on hand, as well as a few tips to make the chore go faster:
If you live in a two storey house, keep double the cleaning supplies. Keep one set in an upstairs closet, and one downstairs. This eliminates the burden of carrying heavy buckets up and down stairs. Both floors should have a set of basic cleaning supplies.

A good basic Cleaning Kit: 

• Your favorite all purpose cleaning spray
• Degreaser
• Bleach
• Toilet cleaner
• Scouring powder
• A hard bristle scrubber – a short handle
• Paper towels
• Two sponges-one with a soft, or white backing, and one with a hard, or green backing
• Window cleaning fluid-this can also be used on mirrors (or a bottle of white vinegar)
• Brass/wood polishes if needed
• Newspaper (for mirrors and windows)
• Broom and dust pan
• Mop
• Vacuum (store the “real” vacuum where there is the most carpet; and carpet sweeper where there is the least)
• Rubbish bags-both sizes small and large

Home Cleaning Robots Unite

One of the more interesting pieces of home cleaning technology in the last few years is the roomba a small self contained cleaning robot made by a company called iRobot.

The Roomba is an intelligent and effective vacuuming robot that you can set to clean your floor when you are out. The more advanced models have a recharging station to which they return after finishing cleaning or when they need a re charging.

A lot have people have used these small robots as a cheap way of experimenting with robotics there are books and entire sites devoted to modifying the roomba.

When some fans of the new battelstar galactica tv show joked that the roombas where plotting to takeover the world -  some one decided that what their roomba needed was a makeover to add the signature red scanning effect that the cylons from Battlesatr galactica have.

Hence this Video on Youtube Parodying  the opening sequence of the New Battlestar Galactica

I you would prefer your cleaning to be done by humans contact us about our range of office cleaning services :-)

Ps one of the more interesting things about the makers of the roomba iRobot is they also make bomb disposal an milatary robots – also the name is a nice reference to the robot SF Stories of Isaac Asimov.
