So what do we recycle...?! 🀷‍♀️🀷‍♀️

Interestingly, it is discovered that (and I'd like to re-iterate here) recycling isn't just a modern day phenomenon- with significance spreading globally like wildfire but a historical phenomenon. For this paradoxical concept to be properly practiced, it is important to think through one of the important aspects of the recycling process: the careful understanding of what can be recycled and what may not be considered recyclable. Although we have as part of the recyclable material family the biodegradable food and garden wastes which are used as compost, majority of all recyclable materials are of a non-biodegradable nature. Recyclable materials are said to range from many kinds of glass, paper, cardboard, metal, plastic, tires, textiles, batteries, and electronics. Through many budding city-wide/sub-urban/residential property initiatives these aforementioned recyclables are picked from source, sorted through (in some cases) then cleaned for simply reusing or for reprocessing into new materials for manufacturing new products into fresh supplies of same material used plastic bottles into new plastic bottles or used metal cans into new metal cans for example) or utilising just the constituent material from complex products. So, it suffices to say that gathering of recyclable waste isn't for a select urban/city occupying few but for all of us living within this post-industrialized 🌎 globe- village, city and the likes. 😊Note: This writeup is follow up from the introductory writeup- https://cleaningnmore.blogspot.com/2022/02/beyond-cleaning-to-next-best-thing.html Please feel free to share your comments (😊you might need to go through your gmail account...

Series 4: Vaccum cleaners! Where did they emerge from?!

πŸ˜πŸ™Œ Did you know that... Early vacuum cleaners were massive and had to be drawn by horse from door to door! Imagine...?! But, in 1907, just within the second industrial revolution, it is said that James Spangler had the brilliant idea to combine the design of the carpet sweeper with the mechanics of a vacuum, creating the earliest known version of a portable vacuum cleaner. The vacuum has perhaps evolved most significantly, marked by the creation of the first cordless, handheld mini-vacuum cleaner by Black & Decker nearly 30 years ago! From further findings, we see that the vacuum cleaner's emergence into a household dust extracting must-have, can also be connected to many great minds cutting across Engineers to Janitors who saw possibilities and brought forward their innovative thoughts into what we see as the Vacuum cleaner today (surely still evolving in ways to give the consumer a valuable experience) Basically the vacuum cleaner (once known as simply sweeper and even

Bebugs...(Yikes!)

Are you aware that bed bugs (climex lectularis) and the 'tropical bed bugs' (climex hemipterus) can infest any type of human living quarters and may not only be found in housing and short duration accomodation such as hostels and hotels, but also in cinemas, buses/trucks, police cells and holding areas. These organisms are attracted by exhaled carbondioxide (CO2) and body heat and not just by dirt. They feed on blood, not waste, so in short the cleanliness of their environment has an effect on the control of bedbugsz but does not eradicate them... Be informed!

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
