Beyond cleaning to the next best thing known as ♻️ recycling

The concept of cleaning just as an environmentally responsible action is further culminating globally into the need to globally ensure prudence in the way waste is discarded.

One of the key components in waste management and favoured options in the waste hierarchy tools that enables

the action or process of converting waste into reusable material is Recycling.

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. The recovery of energy from waste materials is often included in this concept. It is said to be third in the reduce, reuse and recycle components of the waste hierarchy.

Recycling is internationally represented with the three chasing arrows logo.

It is known to be both a historical and modern day phenomenon.

Benefits of recycling

More job and income coming thus improving the standard of living of a person/people and/or community.

Not just any jobs-Green jobs: Jobs given the opportunity to undertake are positively impacting the society and gives the opportunity to contribute to the global reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions.

It contributes to environmental factors in the following areas: results in environmental protection;

reduction in air pollution (from incineration) and

water pollution (from landfilling).

It reduces undue energy consumption which arises when waste is generated and needs to be degraded or decomposed into more publicly acceptable and graded components.

It is an alternative to "conventional" waste disposal that can save materials for further use ;

Also helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions refer to the undue release of gaseous elements such as carbon dioxide which leads to non-advantageous global effects such as climate change.

It can also prevent the unnecessary discarding of materials that are still useful;

it reduces the costly consumption of fresh raw materials which could easily be gotten by reusing already existing materials.

The effective recyclability of a material depends on two factors its ability to reacquire the properties it had in its original state.

That means recyclability of a material is a function of reconversion to statusquo state with all its attributes.

Therefore as an outcome, a recyclable

material maintains the same state though now in a freshened state.

Another factor is the ability to extract a part of a material for its usefulness or its essentiality.

Sweep. Dust. Mop [S. D. M]

In cleaning there are many fundamentals that form our operations and enable efficiencies across board and effective productivity.Even in this Artificial intelligence era, those fundamentals can't be disregarded. Looking closely at fundamentals, we find that there are some generic and some tweaked to fit the innovativeness of the cleaning operator concerned. As a company, we have embraced the fundamentals of sweep, dust and mop as one of those that we use daily. Ofcourse we know that it may not be the case 0.09% of times within our operations yet it is more the case than not... Especially as we operate predominantly, for now, within the Tropics, when we get to a cleaning site, our cleaning operatives are encouraged to engage-always bearing in mind one of our essential fundamentals to sweep then dust then mop [99.99% of the times]. Ofcourse, we keep seeking ways to grow and improve upon our operations and so are to tweak fundamentals... As our Chief P. says, "where we are isn...

Series 2 - Historical exploration of our main cleaning materials

The mop is another very essential cleaning tool that is needed significantly to capture residual dust on floor surfaces after a round of sweeping and an initial dust trapping/capturing with the dust rag or napkin or duster(different terms , meaning same thing). The mop is said to be categorised into two types- wet mop and dry mop. The wet mop is known to require the involvement of a solvent (liquid) solution - consisting of 💧 water and a detergent or other cleaning reagent for effective cleaning and dust absorption. Through the process of thorough rinsing or washing if very soiled and proper drying, one is able to maintain the wet mop. The wet mop head is made of mostly cloth materials or sponge material and its body frame consists of the stick handle- wooden or metallic in nature. On the other hand, the dry mop- characterized by the flat head of strings connected by a swivel (which enables a more flexible motion and reach to areas with limited access than the wet mop) It ...

It is all in the hands and eyes...

It is all in the hands and eyes! As always the very foundation of a thing is important in ensuring growth with very strong rootedness thus ensuring far-reaching outcomes. As a company that values detail we believe that cleaning must be executed with the mindfulness that the hands and eyes have a most significant role to play in effecting detail. We always say that what we do is important but how we do what we do is even more important. Therefore, with the value of detail underscoring our cleaning practices, the mindful and skillful use of ones hands guided by the eyes will yield a most satisfactory cleaning experience.This is not to say that any disability found in the hands or eyes means one would not clean effectively. No! This age of Artificial Intelligence begs to defer; yet through the conscious use of our eyes and hands, we will yield better cleaning manually or mechanically.
