    The UK consumer appliances group is generating more than half of its profits in Asia as it targets consumers willing to pay for its premium vacuum cleaners. The company’s China sales more than tripled last year, propelling it into one of its top five markets.


     While Japan is Dyson’s second-largest market after the US, the brand has been increasing its foothold in countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, where its sales also tripled last year. India is the next big target market.

    The public schools have gone green to get clean.

    The School Department is converting to environmentally friendly cleaning products and shelving the chemically potent standard cleaners to improve air quality and end exposure to potentially toxic liquids and sprays, a press release said.

    "We have chosen to make an investment in green cleaning products so that our staff and students will have a more asthma- and allergy-friendly learning environment," the press release said.

    Asthma is a chronic illness that affects the respiratory tract and airways that carry oxygen in and out of the lungs. Asthma is more prevalent among Holyoke students in grades kindergarten to grade eight, with 27 percent reported to have asthma, than the statewide average for such students of 12.4 percent, according to the press release

    (BPT) - Spring cleaning is a seasonal tradition. You've been setting house projects aside all winter, and now's the perfect time to make sure the warm weather season starts with a cleaner, happier home. So open the windows, turn on your favorite song, and start your spring cleaning with these five to-dos.

    Five indoor projects to add to spring cleaning list

    * Clear the clutter. Removing excess clutter is a great cleaning tip any time of year, but finishing this task when the weather was colder may not have been as tempting. Tackle your home room by room and analyze the items you find. If you haven't used something in a year or more, it's time for it to go.

    * Freshen up the floors. After a season of tracking dirt, snow and mud, your floors could use some attention. If the damage is minor, a thorough vacuuming will do the trick. If the wear and tear is more significant, you may need a more comprehensive solution. If you have carpet, renting a carpet cleaner allows you to tackle the job yourself, saving you money over hiring a professional or purchasing your own machine. And if you have hardwood or tile floors, rent a floor buffer. It's the easiest way to give your floors back their shine in no time.

    A company will pay you £45 an hour to clean houses

    A naked maid service has been criticised for offering topless cleaning on a holiday island.

    Maid on the Isle of Wight charges customers £85 an hour for a naked woman to clean their home, while a topless maid costs £65.

    The firm also offers nude hostesses or butlers, ladies dressed as French maids and even allows people to get naked themselves while watching a clothed cleaner work.

    A student organization is demanding GW offer better benefits to custodial workers.

    Fair Jobs GW – a student-run campaign to push for better treatment of GW’s workers – met with officials last week to make demands for improved working conditions on behalf of janitorial workers. Members of the group said the workers are overworked and fear losing their jobs after officials have made staffing cuts and relied more heavily on third-party contractors in recent years.


    Henry Klapper, an organizer for Fair Jobs GW and a former Hatchet reporter, said janitorial workers told members of the organization that the University is now understaffed and relies on contracted workers.

    On any given day, Leo Zaverukha’s booming voice echoes through the Mountain View High School halls that he mops and across the fields that he mows.

    Some days it’s Russian folk songs. On others, he serenades students with American classics or Christian hymns. Either way, he’s tough to miss.

    A Ukrainian, Zaverukha came to the United States in 1996 after his parents fled from Russia as refugees. He first settled in California before getting the job at Mountain View in Meridian in 2005. He’s been a fixture ever since.

    A janitorial airline contractor at Los Angeles International Airport and more than a dozen of its employees have settled a case alleging their supervisor improperly prohibited them from speaking Spanish during work hours and breaks.

    Attorneys for lead plaintiff Irma Espinoza and the other Gate Gourmet workers filed a notice of dismissal of the lawsuit last week in Los Angeles Superior Court and a notice of settlement in March. No terms were divulged.

    In May 2015, the janitors sued Gate Gourmet — which provides cabin cleaning and restocking services to Delta Air Lines at LAX — accusing the company of failing to prevent the discriminatory policy.

    The suit alleged unlawful workplace language policy, harassment, failure to prevent discrimination and national origin discrimination.
