Dyson Commercial Criticised Over Miss-Representation
May 31, 2007 Posted by Administrator in : News , add a commentRival firm Hoover and 35 members of the public complained the commercial implied Dyson cleaners did not have filters. After an investigation, the Advertising Standards Authority found the commercial in breach of industry rules. The ASA said Dyson must not broadcast the commercial again in its current form as viewers were likely to infer from the advert that Dyson cleaners did not have filters. The cleaners have pre-motor filters which should be regularly cleaned to ensure they do not get clogged and to avoid basic loss of suction.
Responding to the investigation, Dyson said its machines each contained both a pre-motor and a post-motor filter.
Inventor Sir James Dyson said the firm planned to appeal against the ASA’s decision. Neither of the filters removes dust and dirt from the collected air.
Dyson recommends that owners rinse their machines’ pre-motor filters every six months.

5 office cleaning tips
May 10, 2007 Posted by Administrator in : Cleaning Advice , add a commentOffice Cleaning Tip # 1 - Sort Your Papers
Computers were supposed to reduce the amount of paper we use and create a clutter-free work environment! so how come My waste paperbins are over-flowing. Often when you decide have to do something about the mess, you wind up moving papers from one pile to the other. It may look a little neater after you’re done, but the problem is not solved. The solution is ORGANIZATION! To get started, grab another piece of paper …. and write down five broad categories of subjects you usually address in your office. Try to limit the list to five topics. Perhaps you will start with “Personal,” then “Finances,” then “Medical,” etc. Begin sorting through your papers and placing similar subjects in one pile, following your list.. Buy a box of manila folders, label according to subject, then place the papers in the appropriate file, according to your categories.
Office Cleaning Tip # 2 - Set Aside Time
It’s a good idea to set aside a specific time each day/week/month to handle the housekeeping and tidying that every office needs.
Office Cleaning Tip # 3 - Delete The Junk
It may take some time to go through those precious papers but, as you do, it will be easier for you to see how much is duplication, unnecessary, out-of-date, and just plain trash. Throw out the stuff you no longer need. If there’s personal information, financial or other, on some of those sheets you are discarding, be sure to shed them! If you don’t have a shredder, buy one.
Office Cleaning Tip # 4 - Assign Priority
You may have five or six piles of papers now. Some of these you will want to access frequently, some not as much. Decide which are your priorities and put the categories that you use most often closer to you. Use file caddies to keep the files upright on your desk rather than laying the folders flat. It’s easier to see the file labels when they are upright.
File Your Documents
There are many options available for storing your important data. Browse through an office supply store; visualize the various filing systems as if you had them in your office. If you opt for fie cabinets, consider using color coded folders. Coding helps reduce the chance that papers will be filed in the wrong place (i.e. - green: financial records; blue: medical records, etc.). Storage systems come in many sizes, shapes and composition. Old standbys are the metal filing cabinets with Manila folders but the cabinets now come in modern colors and finishes with smooth glide drawers. There are also attractive plastic stacking boxes, a variety of desk and drawer organizers, and the old standby, corrugated bank storage boxes.
Office Cleaning Tip # 5 Hire a Cleaning Service
Sometimes we just get too busy doing the important stuff to worry about being neat! It doesn’t take long for the clutter to stack up and all of a sudden, it’s out of control. This is the time for you to consider hiring a cleaning service. You can request a one-time visit to help you get organized and give the office a good dusting and vacuuming, or you can ask for ongoing, routine cleaning to help keep your office organized and clean.
