- Barnardo's Child Sponsor - January 2012
A huge thank you for becoming a sponsor. You really have done something amazing. You’ve chosen to support a vulnerable child or young person right here in the UK who was desperately waiting for a sponsor who could help them turn their life around.And in doing so, you’ve shown that, like us, you also believe in the children - no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through. With your help, Barnardo’s can do what we are best at and help your sponsored child, and many other children like them, live free from poverty, abuse and discrimination. And for that, I really cannot say thank you enough.Yours sincerely, - Anne Marie Carrie - Chief Executive, Barnardo’s - Patio Furniture: Cleaning and Maintaining Tips
Most patio furniture is made of a plastic resin which is very durable and inexpensive. It’s one failing is that the finish, while being very smooth, is also slightly porous, which attracts and holds stains. It is wise to protect new furniture with an automotive paste wax if possible, to repel water borne dust and make cleaning much easier. This is made all the worse when you consider the most popular colour is probably white, and this furniture is usually left outdoors for seasons and seasons. Spray down the furniture with a garden hose and scrub with a mild detergent and some warm water, before rinsing the furniture off. To help brighten white furniture set it in the sunshine for the natural bleaching effect of the sun. You can even wax these chairs with some kind of automotive paste wax. This will make water bead off, and make washing them much easier. Bleach can be used for cleaning however it is not good for the environment. When cleaning avoid solvents as they can eat away. - Why is your home or business hygiene so important?
In the past 20 years or so, infectious disease (ID) has moved steadily back up the health agenda, prompting new emphasis on developing strategies for prevention and control. Increasingly this includes promotion of hygiene to the family, both at home and in their social and work lives outside the home. A number of factors/events contribute to this current situation which are summarised below. There is no doubt that advances in hygiene during the 19th and 20th centuries, along with other aspects of modern medicine, have improved both the length and quality of our lives beyond all recognition. During the second half of the 20th century, however, following the development of vaccination and antibiotic therapy, and with serious epidemics of the “old” infectious enemies, such as diphtheria, TB and typhoid fever apparently under control, hygiene tended to lose its prominent position and the focus of concern shifted to degenerative, chronic diseases. In developed countries, hygiene education in schools has been replaced by other subjects deemed more important. Nowhere has the decline in concern about hygiene been more evident than in the home, where there has been a tendency to assume that, compared with the hospital setting, most people are “normal and healthy”, and the infection risk is minimal. Social changes across the world mean that women increasingly work outside the home and have had less time for childcare and housework. This has led to a more superficial approach to hygiene and home cleaning, with speed and aesthetic factors more important than disease prevention. © - When Cleaning Services and Contractors go wrong
By: Joe Neves (Smart Cleanings UK Limited) Does your cleaning contractor understand your cleaning needs? Are your premises cleaned to the possible highest standards and the daily cleaning well documented? Is the communication good enough? Huuummmm ! I see, ... Before any kind of service agreement is signed a consultant / manager form the cleaning contractor service should pay you a visit and asses the overall needs of the facility. The consultant should be able to translate your concerns into specific methodology that will satisfy the cleaning requirements of your business. Are the cleaning Cleaning Contractors flexible enough? Offices are always changing aesthetic and landscape especially when to move to various locations within the building. This shift of furnishings and equipment requires different sanitation and cleaning requirements. Your service provider should have the right facilities and specifications to be able to handle a shift in cleaning needs. Having a cleaning contractor that welcomes feedback is a keeper. Feedback should be more than your standard daily cleaning records and survey forms that are filled out and see no results for specific changes to your comments and requests, ... At Smart Cleanings UK Ltd in Aylesbury, we offer and provide all of that without exceptions and we also go the extra mile making sure that you and your members of staff are completely satisfied with our cleaning services. - Important Information about swine flu and contacts
The virus was first identified in Mexico in April 2009. It has since become a pandemic, which means it has spread around the globe. It has spread quickly because it is a new type of flu virus that few, if any, people have full resistance to. Flu pandemics are a natural event that occur from time to time. Last century, there were flu pandemics in 1918, 1957 and 1968, when millions of people died across the world. High-risk groups: Some people are more at risk of complications if they catch swine flu, and need to start taking antivirals as soon as it is confirmed that they have the illness. Doctors may advise some high-risk patients to take antivirals before they have symptoms, if someone close to them has swine flu. It is already known that people are particularly vulnerable if they have: chronic (long-term) lung disease | chronic heart disease | chronic kidney disease | chronic liver disease | chronic neurological disease (neurological disorders include motor neurone disease | multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease) | immunosuppression (whether caused by disease or treatment), or diabetes mellitus. Also at risk are: ... patients who have had drug treatment for asthma in the past three years, pregnant women ... Need advice?

Mold becomes a problem inside a home when there is an excessive humidity or moisture. The problem can originate from sudden water releases, like a burst pipe or large spill, or a chronic condition such as a leaking roof or plumbing. Even high humidity or warm, moist air condensing on cool surfaces can trigger mold problems. It’s always best to have the mold assessed and removed by a certified professional. Mold can grow almost anywhere in a home if conditions permit. If there is visible growth on painted wall surfaces, a homeowner should be concerned about what may be growing on the opposite side. The environment inside the walls of a house often differs drastically from the outside and could create a perfect haven for mold. If the wall was wet for a prolonged period, it’s almost guaranteed that the mold growth on the back side will be worse than on the front. At that point, containing the work space and removing moldy materials, followed by cleaning of salvageable framing, are the best options. The non-profit Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) recommends that homeowners contact a certified professional to ensure that mold is removed correctly and occupants are protected throughout the job. Typically, to contain and prevent further contamination, certified professionals can: 1. Verify that the moisture source has been eliminated or repaired 2. Contain the area to prevent cross contamination 3. Create negative pressure using specialized air filtration devices to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas 4. Recommend an indoor environmental professional to sample and evaluate the mold problem 5. Vacuum affected areas using equipment with high efficiency filters 6. Isolate, remove and properly dispose of heavily contaminated materials 7. HEPA vacuum exposed pockets of growth Kindly authorised to Smart Cleanings UK Ltd by IICRC ® Balmy summer weather not only encourages outdoor activities, but it may promote indoor activity as well. Mold growth may increase because of the warm, moist conditions that this season always brings. For small children, the elderly and allergy and asthma sufferers, mold can be a real problem. It can trigger a variety of symptoms, including irritation, allergies, asthma and even sinus and respiratory infections. To help keep mold at bay this summer, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) offers these tips: Clean and Dry -- Clean soap scum and soil off bath walls and fixtures with disinfectants or "mildew removers." Turn on vent fans before showering. Wipe excess moisture off shower walls. "No Moisture, No Mold" -- Check for mold growing around windows and door entries. Locate and eliminate moisture sources; then dry out materials and clean affected areas carefully with household detergents. Check for water drainage toward the house. Address basement moisture problems. Stop the Drops -- Get leaks fixed promptly. If a water pipe bursts, get professional help immediately. Make sure affected areas are properly repaired, dried and cleaned. Kindly authorised to Smart Cleanings UK Ltd by IICRC ® Sewage is one of the most dangerous substances that can enter buildings. Unfortunately, people don’t understand the hazards that sewage creates, particularly for small children, the elderly and those with immune system or respiratory problems. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) offers these facts to dispel some typical myths. Sewage from oceans, lakes or rivers is clean. This water contains contaminants such as microorganisms, bacteria and pesticides. Trapped inside walls or under floor coverings, it doesn’t take long to become a “smelly” health hazard. Chlorine bleach decontaminates sewage. While bleach is a remedy, it’s quickly inactivated by sewage. Even dead fungi and bacteria may contain chemicals that cause an allergic response. Affected areas should be cleaned thoroughly, followed by appropriate disinfectant application. Sewage-saturated carpets can be “saved.” Absolutely not! Porous materials, such as carpet, pad, upholstery, bedding, wicker, paper goods, or fabrics that can’t be washed in hot water, must be disposed of safely. Partially sewage-flooded buildings are safe. Not unless contaminated areas can be sealed off to prevent cross-contamination of other areas. Only trained professionals using specialized equipment are qualified to restore sewage damage.

You just bought furniture for the living room, so how do you maintain its fresh new appearance? To keep your furniture clean, its necessary to conduct routine maintenance, including periodic cleaning by a certified technician every 12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until sever soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance, and texture, and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality. Regular cleaning by a professional cleaning company can help restore your upholstery's appearance, extend its life, and keeping it looking "like new". In addition, certified professionals can offer simple suggestions to maintain a clean and healthy environment. These tips often include: Control soil by using arm caps and rotating seat cushions frequently to prolong life and appearance of areas prone to wear and tear. Remove dry soil by vacuuming and, depending on the fabric, brushing to remove dust and soil particles. Kindly authorised to Smart Cleanings UK Ltd by IICRC ® We are corporate members and supportes
