WHILE some young boys dream of growing up to become an astronaut, a football player or a cowboy, Edward Greany wanted nothing more than to own a dry cleaners an unusual dream, he will admit, but one that had stolen his heart.

A passion for cleaning and quality service followed Mr Greany, 68, throughout his life, and after 20 years owning and running Rockhamptons Jet Dry Cleaners, he and his wife Rita, 65, have now decided to sell up, with a prominent local figure taking over.

(They) had just had dry cleaning done and Rita approached (them) about buying the dry cleaners, Mr Greany said.

One day, (they) called and she put in an offer, which Rita accepted.

After suffering with ill health over the past few years, and suffering a small heart attack in March, Mr Greany and his wife decided it was time to retire and start travelling Grey Nomad style.

With grandchildren around Central Queensland, Brisbane and Mackay, and their first great grandchild on the way, the time was right to hit the road in their caravan.

The couple will also head to Fiji for Christmas, Western Australian in February and New Zealand for a cruise in April.

We finished up on October 31, which for me finished about 40 years of being self-employed, Mr Greany said.

Were very relieved and relaxed.

The business has been with the family through highs and lows, including Cyclone Marcia in 2015, when the couple ran the business out of their home with a generator.

Some of their customers includes emergency services, namely police officers.

Mr Greany started his working life at Jets in 1968, and fell in love with dry cleaning.

It may sound strange but thats the way it happened, he said.

I left and ran Jackos Cakes and Pies, visiting Bajool, Mount Morgan, Rockhampton, Raglan, Marmor, Bouldercombe and Yeppoon, in the early 70s in the back of a panel van.

Then we had a couple of milk runs around Rockhampton and the dry cleaners came up for sale.

It was a bit of a childhood dream. All the equipment was pretty old so we got in there, upgraded the equipment, made money and then sold it after five kids we didnt have enough time.

After a stint in carpet cleaning, and then commercial cleaning for 11-and-a-half-years, the dry cleaners came back on the market.

It had been a big part of my life. I had worked in a couple of laundries and gained a fair bit of knowledge but with dry cleaning there has been a lot of trial and error I was self-taught, Mr Greany said.

Ive loved every minute of it. Its our baby.

For the love of suds: Cleaning business of 20 years sells - Morning Bulletin

Posted: Nov 18, 2019 / 04:30 PM MST / Updated: Nov 18, 2019 / 04:54 PM MST

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4Utah) Zerorez is now offering carpet cleaning for $33 per room. Plus, if you donate food when Zerorez comes to clean, you get the fourth room free. If you deliver a bag of food to the Draper office you will receive a $50 certificate.

Not having your carpets vacuumed and cleaned professionally wears down its life faster. A common myth is that you should not be cleaning your carpets earlier in its life.

Pieces of carpet get worn down by dirt and debris from underneath. When walked upon with dirt and debris underneath, carpets rubs against the debris and get worn away.

Another myth is if you clean carpet more often it will get dirtier faster. That may be the case if you are cleaning with soaps and detergents which are hard to remove.

Unlike their competitors, Zerorez doesnt use soap to clean, but rather what they call Powered Water. The water is run through an electrolysis process, altering the molecule. It is slick to the touch and has all the cleaning properties of soap, but none of the side effects. This makes it easy to rinse out unlike soap and doesnt leave the sticky residue in carpet. Powered Water eliminates the need for soap and dries just like water. It leaves nothing behind.

Call (801) 288-9376 or visit ZerorezSaltLake.com or ZerorezDavisWeber.com to schedule a cleaning.

SoftBank Group Corp. has put billions of dollars into a laser-based technology that could allow cars to drive themselvesand help astronauts land on distant planets. It turns out that same technologymakes a pretty good vacuum cleaner.

Engineers at SoftBank Robotics have spent years applying lidar, which accurately maps distances in real-time, to carpet cleaning.The result is Whiz, a sort of ultra-high-end Roomba that SoftBank will start selling to companies in the U.S. on Tuesday for $499 a month.

Given the high price, offices are the target market. The robot can run for three hours on a charge and clean as much as 15,000 square feet, according to the company.In the cleaning industry, theres been a lot of excitement about this, said Kass Dawson, head of business strategy at SoftBank Robotics America.

SoftBank is most commonly associated with its mobile network in Japan and the massive amounts of cash its investing in tech companies around the worldsometimes unwisely, as in the case of WeWork. But robotics has long been an interestof SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son. The Japanese conglomerate introduced a humanoid named Pepper five years ago that can be found at airports and stores attempting to answercustomers questions.Although Pepper can move on wheels, it typically stays in placeand lacks the sophistication of Whizs movement. When Pepper debuted, according to Dawson, people frequently asked if it could vacuum. It cant.

Another SoftBank robot called Nao is focused on education.The company wants to gradually refine its robotics chops as it works toward more complicated tasks, such as in logistics and warehousing.The eventual goal is to freeup human workers to focus on more complicated work, Dawson said. We need to do some researchand figure out which is the right repeatable task to be replaced, he said.

But its up to people to train their eventual robot replacement. Whiz needs to be taught the cleaning route before it can get started. After that, the vacuum can learn to account for changes in the layout, such as furniture moved into new positions. The project has benefitedfrom SoftBanks wide array of investments. Whizs operating system, BrainOS, is made by a company called Brain Corp., which is backed by SoftBanks Vision Fund.

SoftBank Is Selling a Roomba Competitor in the U.S. - Bloomberg

Every day, we read stories about how low unemployment and labor shortages are affecting virtually every industry.

In many ways, labor is a commodity, and like the availability of oil or crops, it impacts the cost and challenge of acquisition. An abundant labor pool generally means the economy is slow, unemployment is high, and people are just happy to have a job.

Today, however, the labor market is tight: The demand for workers is high and applicants are looking for jobs with the best fit. This environment challenges businesses to convince prospective employees that their job openings offer a fulfilling experience as well as opportunity for advancement. Job seekers want options that will lead them down a satisfying and thriving career path.

Organizations should offer stepping-stones that allow individuals to improve themselves and expand their careers. With this in mind, the IICRC offers education programs for every stage of your career. People entering the job market for the first time and entrepreneurs alike can useIICRC education to develop their careers, whether theyre beginning as an entry-level technician or supervisor, starting a new business as a certified firm owner who offers multiple services, or becoming an approved instructor whose passion for the industry can inspire a new generation.

TheICRC has impacted my entire career. I started looking for a career in my teens. My parents owned a building-services company, but I did not see this field as an appealing option. I eventually accepted a position at a small appliance sales and repair company. I worked there for four years until I injured my shoulder while taking a box off a refrigerator. Initially I was told recovery would take four to six weeks, but after surgery revealed more damage than expected, the doctor extended my recovery to more than four months. As most of us know, a small business cannot wait months for a team member to return to work, so I became unemployed. My bad shoulder and I started helping in the family business.

Although I still was not enthusiastic about working in building services, I was interested in carpet cleaning. I started a carpet cleaning division within the family company, and thanks to my fathers appreciation for continuing education, I attended an IICRC carpet cleaning certification course. The knowledge I gained from that course influenced every aspect of my career moving forward; it made me aware that all fields have a technical aspect. Almost overnight, I felt as though I was not a carpet cleaner but a technician. This new identity propelled me to build a business that competed on expertise rather than on price.

Over the years, I was able to explore many of the career paths available through IICRC education. The success of the carpet cleaning division inspired me to look into other facets of the industry. In fact, our family business also did upholstery cleaning, color repair, carpet repair and reinstallation, and large- and small-loss restoration. In time, I gained enough exposure to these fields to know that, though interesting, they were not for me.

About 25 years ago, I became an IICRC-certified senior carpet inspector. That certification made me a dramatically better carpet cleaner; it improved my ability to answer customer questions, to help my flooring retailers solve their problems, and to talk to customers and peers with the authority that comes with knowledge.

The problem-solving aspect of inspection attracted my attention, and this formed the pathway to my next career. I was young and eager to enter this side of the industry. Many professionals become inspectors later in their careers, exiting the labor-intensive side of the industry and increasing their income heading into retirement. I became proficient and experienced at a much younger age than my peers, which led to my committee involvement. I became vice president, and later president, of the National Institute of Certified Floorcoverings Inspectors (NICFI), anIICRC-approved instructor, Standards Consensus Body chair of an ANSI standard, and a director on theIICRC Board of Directors.

Mapping out a career path is all about finding what is right for you; where you start is not necessarily where you will remain. The IICRC hascareer platforms to satisfy technical, consumer-focused, and instructor-led interests where you can grow, learn, and earn.

The way an industry embraces technology has a great impact on its appeal. As Alicia Hill at fundera.com writes, The millennial generation is comprised of tech-savvy individuals who are looking for a flexible work environment where they can thrive and grow. They are seeking employers that are able to embrace technological trends.

Hill outlines that the one thing that really sets this generation (millennials) apart from others is how much they love technology. Theyre the first to try new apps, programs, and hardware. Older generations had to adapt to new technology, but millennials have grown up using smartphones, othermobile devices, and all the technology that comes with it. If you want to attract this talented generation, offer them opportunities to experience all that technology has to give.

While I dont fall into the millennial generation, I embrace technology. Older generations accept technology; younger generations expect it. From apps to online training, technology defines an industry and affects its image and attractiveness as a career option. This is one area that the IICRC is working diligently to address. In the meantime, businesses have the responsibility to adopt and implement technology in every aspect of a job.

Technology has also become a large part of my career path. As a business owner, I build my own websites, manage my social media, and create forms and documents for the industry. Most recently, I started theFloor U podcast podcast with my co-host, Sonny Callaham, and will soon be offering online training for certifications. Technology should impact every aspect of your job because, again, it is expectednot just accepted.

The IICRC offers a place to start and a place to evolve and grow personally and professionally. Not only does it encompass avariety of fields, but these fields are intertwined, giving you the ability to explore different options within each category and find what is right for you.

Through my career, I didnt just research building services, carpet cleaning, restoration, color repair, carpet repair, and inspections; I experienced each one of them and really understood what I enjoyed.

Ultimately, my goal is to demonstrate that having anIICRC education gives you options. Whether you are an employee or entrepreneur, beginning with an IICRC education can lead to many career pathsall you must do is discover which one is best for you.

The new year brings the chance to begin fresh and to realign. The IICRC offers educational opportunities for where you are now and where you desire to be in the future. Visitiicrc.org to get started.

Planning Your Career in the Cleaning, Restoration, and Inspection industry - CMM

ST. LOUIS (AP) A body found during a search in a remote area of eastern Missouri was positively identified as that of a St. Louis County woman who disappeared this month, authorities said Wednesday.

Jennifer Rothwell's body was found Monday night about 45 miles northwest of her home, St. Louis County police said. Rothwell's husband, Beau Rothwell, 28, is jailed without bond on charges of second-degree murder and evidence tampering.

Police said he provided information that helped lead them to the area near Troy, Missouri, where the body was found. Police have not disclosed the specific location.

Authorities had been searching since last week for Jennifer Rothwell, a chemical engineer, though she was presumed dead.

Beau Rothwell was spotted Nov. 11 on video purchasing cleaning products, including bleach, carpet cleaner and gloves, according to a police probable cause statement. His wife was reported missing Nov. 12, and her car was found abandoned less than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from their home later that day.

Beau Rothwell was arrested Nov. 13 after a search of the couple's home, the same day police announced the case was being investigated as a homicide. Detectives who searched the home found a wet carpet soaked with bleach and large areas of blood, some of which got into the underlying carpet pad, the probable cause statement said.

Police have not disclosed a potential motive. Beau Rothwell's attorney has declined comment.

Beau and Jennifer Rothwell received chemical engineering degrees from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2013. They married in 2015 in St. Louis County.

KMOV-TV reported that Jennifer Rothwell's mother, Robin von Hausen, said her daughter had just moved to western St. Louis County with her husband and worked at DuPont.

Its now what we believe is scientifically referred to as really bloody cold.

Thus you may have gone out to your car this morning and spotted a load of ice and frost clogging up your windows.

You could try the sandwich bag hack or go at it with a special scraper, but if youre looking for another quick and easy way to clear ice from your windows, youre in luck.

A woman has shared a genius trick to clear car windows, using an old bottle of carpet stain remover.

You see, certain carpet stain removers have bottles with a special brush attachment to help you massage the cleaning product into fabric.

It turns out that brush attachment also works as a gentle ice scraper.

Angela Hickling shared her wisdom on Facebook, explaining that she filled an emptied out Dr Beckmann carpet cleaner bottle with warm water, then dragged the brush over her cars windows.

The warm water comes out through the brush and is spread evenly, quickly melting and wiping away ice. Smart, right?

Just make sure you usewarm water rather than boiling water straight out of the kettle, otherwise youre risking the glass cracking.

Obviously, this hack requires that you happen to have a carpet stain remover bottle with a brush attachment just lying around, otherwise youll need to shell out 2.80 for a bottle only to immediately empty it out.

FYI, you can just buy an actual ice scraper for the same price or cheaper. Or just spray your windows with warm water then use a cloth to wipe away.

Despite all those caveats, the trick has still been hailed online, with Angelas post being shared more than 17,000 times.

Do try it out yourself, or give the sandwich bag hack a go. Or, if you want all the imaginary bonus points, get in touch with us by emailing MetroLifestyleTeam@metro.co.uk to share your own cold weather hacks.

Woman clears ice from car windows with an old carpet stain remover bottle - Metro.co.uk

Full disclosure time. Im going to take personal ownership of this article because as a college lad, I spent six years working for a small used car dealership where I specialized in vehicle reconditioning. I need to emphasize used car dealership here, and it wasnt one of those places that bought off-lease turn-ins that only needed a wash and tire shine. Among other things, we specialized in used work vans and those drivers loved to smoke. As such, I have so much sympathy for this brave soul right now, and admittedly, a bit of PTSD from cigarette-bombed reconditioning projects in my own portfolio that were every bit as nasty as what you see here.

This clip comes from Autoshine Cars on YouTube, and as you can clearly see, this poor Peugeot 207 has seen much better days. Outside it doesnt look too bad, but opening the driver door is a straight-up Whoa Nelly moment. Cigarette ash covers everything, in every nook and places you cant even see. Old food, broken glass, and spilled soda makes it worse, but the really bad stuff is what the camera doesnt show nicotine. Youll find sticky brown nicotine residue everywhere, especially in the headliner and seat belts, and theres no easy way to remove it. Forget all the public service announcements about the dangers of smoking making a struggling smoker thoroughly clean such a nasty, ash-strewn mess could be the absolute best way to kick the habit for good.

18 Photos

When it comes to reconditioning such a machine, there are many ways to get the job done. In this instance, using the air gun to dislodge crud from the carpet and all the surfaces prior to scrubbing is outstanding, and its a great way to get the carpet clean without soaking the padding underneath. Steam cleaning the headliner is also an absolute necessity here, and when it comes to removing all that nicotine residue, the only way to do it is to literally scrub every square inch of the interior. Its disgusting and utterly exhausting, and as grossed-out as this video might make you, it still pales in comparison to actually being in that hatchback.

Personally, I wouldve pulled the center console, seat belts, and carpeting along with the seats. Time constraints may not have allowed such a comprehensive project, but Id wager a bazillion dollars that more cigarette ash and crud exists beneath that console. Removing the carpeting also lets you wipe down the bare floor which also likely has nicotine and ash debris and you can power wash the carpeting then set it up to air-dry for a day to help with the smell.

Its far more involved, but honestly, this effort in this video with the carpeting still in the car is simply epic when all is said and done. As for you smokers out there, perhaps this clip will encourage you to kick the habit. Your body will thank you, as will your car.

Evening to remember: Record crowd applauds local people, businesses at Best of the Best

GODFREY A record crowd of 600 people celebrated area excellence Wednesday night for the Best of the Best of Madison County and the Riverbend, powered by The Telegraph, The Intelligencer and The Edge.

This year the event deemed the largest red carpet event by any media in the Riverbend area was moved to the Hathaway Cultural Center on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College to accommodate participants and exhibitors. Advertising Director Carole Fredeking coordinated the event.

This years theme was An Evening to Remember. Mayors from four area communities participated in the celebration, which also included video appearances by Jon Lovitz and Carson Kressley.

We have to find a way to outdo ourselves every year, said Fredeking. We appreciate the support that we get from our communities. We really do.

The evening began with a special presentation honoring the late Godfrey Fire Chief Jake Ringering being named Best Firefighter. Ringering was 37 when he was killed while fighting a March 5 fire in Bethalto. He left a wife, Allison, and three children, Nora Marie, Elaina Lynn and Logan Jacob.

As part of his honor Wednesday night, Hearst Media made a donation to the Backstoppers organization which supports area firefighters and their families.

The top vote-getter this year in the Best of the Best of Madison County and the Riverbend was Bella Milano, followed by OSF Healthcare in second and Roberts Ford in third.

Seventeen sponsor plaques were presented for this years event, including a gold plaque to West Star Aviation and bronze plaques to First Community Credit Union, First Mid Bank & Trust, Mid-American Audiology and Wood Basement Systems.

Community sponsors included Castellis @255 Restaurant, Franklin Roofing, Imel Pest Control, Inspector Plumber, Tom Lane-State Farm, Jim Murphys Complete Landscaping, Professional Hearing, Tuckers Automotive, Liberty Bank, Robert Sanders Waste Systems, Schrempf, Kelly & Napp LTD and Riverbend Dental.

Nominations for this years competition were accepted through Sep. 20, with online voting Oct. 11-14. A special publication honoring this years nominees and winners is planned in early December.

A lot of local businesses truly see it as an honor, said Digital Media Sales Specialist Kaci Beatty. Were really proud to be putting this on.

Mr. Vac Cleaning and Restoration Is the Preferred Carpet Cleaning and Air Duct Cleaning Service in Western Colorado - Press Release - Digital Journal

Homeowners with carpets will understand the pain that comes with trying to keep them clean.

From the panic you experience whenever anybody goes near it with a glass of wine to the battle against muddy shoes, there's a lot to contend with if you want to keep your carpet looking fresh.

Nothing can be more frustrating, though, than trying to get stubborn hairs out of your carpet.

Luckily, one woman has shared a genius hack to remove it within minutes and make your carpet look brand new, and the best news is that it only costs 59p.

Writing on a popular Mrs Hinch fan Facebook group, Manda Goody revealed how she uses a cheap cleaning tool from Home Bargains to get her daughter's hairs out of the carpet.

In her post, which has since racked up hundreds of comments and likes, Manda wrote: "You lovely Hinchers have done it again.

"I have a lovely silver grey carpet which lately has become a bit dull and Im always hoovering but it had lost its lovely look.

"I saw the post about trapped hair and how hoovering doesnt get it out. So I brought a squeegee for 59p and gave it a go. This is my daughters bedroom carpet. She has very long hair.

"I was totally shocked at how much came up and a bit disgusted to be honest! My carpet now looks brand new again! If you havent tried it yet do it!"

Speaking to exclusively Manchester Evening News, Manda revealed how she'd picked up the hack from a popular Mrs Hinch Facebook page.

She has also urged people to check it won't ruin their carpets before trying her method.

Facebook users have been excited to try the method for themselves, with others sharing their own methods for getting hair out of carpets.

One Hincher wrote: "Thank you for sharing. I cant wait to try and it looks oh so therapeutic."

"This is one of the most satisfying jobs ever!" exclaimed somebody else.

A third said: "I use one on my stairs before i hoover i used to use a scrubbing brush first until i saw a post on here saying they used a sqeegy so i tried its amazing how much u can get up out of the pile."

Manda says she bought her Squeegee from Home Bargains, though if you want to order online you can buy one on Amazon for as little as 1.99.
