Norwich, Norfolk (PRWEB UK) 10 January 2014

From this month, Monthind will take over the commercial cleaning contracts of two Norfolk-based companies. Tony Clarke, Managing Director of Monthind commented: Though this acquisition saw 45 members of staff transferring to Monthind under TUPE regulations, our experience with taking on contracts of this size meant that the whole process was virtually seamless and both our new staff and clients can be assured of business as usual.

The new commercial cleaning contracts have been added to the growing portfolio of clients run from Monthinds Norwich office. The company already offers a diverse range of commercial and specialist cleaning services throughout East Anglia, from public sector and forensic cleaning to pest control and waste management, and expanding its service further in to new areas will mark further growth for the business, which employs 950 staff and is the largest independent cleaning company in the East of England.

Monthinds Business Manager Chris Brown, sees the additional revenue and clients as excellent complements to its developing operations in the Norfolk region. The office cleaning contracts predominantly cater for areas west of Norwich, where we are seeing significant growth says Chris, while the second represents further expansion in to high street window cleaning. We already produce and maintain our own pure water supply from our Norwich depot, so expanding our residue-free window cleaning services in Norfolk is a great new development for Monthind, which really complements our current contracts in the area.

Mr Clarke concluded High quality contracts like these have become a key part of our targeted growth strategy. As Monthind grows, acquisitions give us an extra boost towards maintaining and strengthening our position as one of the largest independent commercial cleaning organisations in East Anglia.

Monthind offers cleaning and janitorial solutions on both a contracted and ad-hoc basis. For more information, please visit http://www.monthindclean.co.uk.

About Monthind Clean LLP: Monthind has been established as a business since 1975. After gradually expanding throughout East Anglia, the company now employs 950 members of staff, and serves a wide range of clients from small independent businesses to large public sector organisations such as Essex Police. In recent years, Monthind has seen a diversification in its service offerings. Developing from a traditional contract cleaning business, the company now additionally provides in-house window cleaning solutions, a full range of specialist cleaning facilities, caretaking operations, property maintenance, concierge services, and even forensic and biohazard cleaning, which involves dealing with crime scenes, road traffic accidents, and soiled police cells, among other complex situations.

PulseWallet: Weve all had that moment of sickening realisation that your wallet is still sitting at home/in the office/in the car just at the very moment you need to pay for something. But that could be a thing of the past if a new technology becomes a widespread thing. PulseWallet uses a scan of your palm to verify your identity and take payment from a card linked to your biometric data. Designed to be more secure than fingerprint reading or other methods of identification, the technology has been developed by Fujitsu and could be in use later this year.

Yellow Jacket Stun Gun case: You may never see these products in Ireland, and with good reason too. The Yellow Jacket phone cases arent your average outerwear for your delicate technology; they team protection for your phone with protection for your person in this case, a stun gun. Stun guns are, last time we checked, illegal in Ireland. The latest product from Yellow Jacket is a stun gun case for the iPhone 5/5S; the company previously offered the case for the iPhone 4/4S. There are plans to introduce a similar option for Samsung Galaxy S4 users. The stun gun delivers 650,000 volts of electricity, and the entire thing comes in a choice of colours.

Bamboo Kitchen stand for iPad with Knife Storage: Last year, CTA Digital gave us the iPotty, a plastic childs toilet with a holder for your iPad, so your toilet-training toddler could keep up to date with world events. Or more likely watch Disney films and mash their fist on the screen in an attempt to play Angry Birds. This year, the company is offering a stand for your iPad that also doubles as a knife storage block. Made from bamboo, the stand will hold the iPad in portrait or landscape mode, and has an adjustable stand to make it easy for you to view it. Theres a stylus too; just dont get confused with your kitchen implements.

Intels dual boot PCs: Sometimes you want your tablet to do a little more. And sometimes you want your laptop to be a little simpler. Now you have the best of both worlds, thanks to Intels dual boot devices. At the touch of a touch of a button, you switch your devices between Windows and Android. The idea is that your notebook can be a PC when its needed, but change to Android when its required.

Winbot: Who actually enjoys cleaning their windows? No one we know, thats for sure. So it stands to reason that someone somewhere would come up with a better way to get the task done. Hopefully involving robots. And lo and behold, heres the Winbot. The device will automatically clean your windows, using sensors to determine when its reached the edge of the glass, and avoid collisions. Think of your robot hoover, but vertical.

Published: 1/10/2014 3:17 PM | Last update: 1/10/2014 3:17 PM Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I read the article in your newspaper column about the little dog that stepped on the automatic window control that opened the window.

A relative and I were riding in the back seat, and her little dog stepped on the window control, and the window went up.

He had his head hanging out the window, but he was little enough that the window slid under his chin, which just pushed him back in.

If it had been a bigger dog with his head hanging out the window, it would have been a terrible thing. So the master lock in the "off" position is a great idea. - A Constant Reader, Columbus, Mont.

Constant Reader: Oh my! So glad the little dog is OK! - Heloise

Dear Heloise: I had been hunting for an easy solution with some serious cleaning power to get my son's shower back to sparkling clean.

I used some white vinegar, and put it in a spray bottle with a few squirts of grease-cutting dishwashing soap.

My son sprayed the walls and tub of his shower thoroughly, let it sit for an hour, then scrubbed it down with a plastic scrubber, followed by a rinse of hot water. His shower was cleaner than mine!

This definitely is a household hint we'll be using more often! - Faye D. in North Dakota

After a visit from home entertainment robot Keecker last week, it was obvious that CES 2014 would host some exciting robots. Here are a few that offered unusual or just plain awesome applications:

Watch the video; these things look fun. The MiniDrone is all the fun of a drone in a design that wont destroy the inside of your home (well, maybe a little), while the Jumping Sumo is like a modern remote controlled car that can actually leap several feet into the air.

These should appeal to both kids and adults. Ive got my eye on the MiniDrone mostly, which can be attached to a set of large wheels to roll on the floor, wall or ceiling.

The WinBot seemed to win the most media attention this week, as it tackles a universally hated task: window cleaning. Its a Roomba for your windows. It adheres via an internal vacuum and has a backup system to prevent it from falling. It looks like it takes more work to keep up than a Roomba, but for people with large or tall windows, this could be a nice tool.

What else do people hate cleaning? Grills. Enter Grillbot. This little guy chugs along the surface of your grill cleaning it with a spinning brass or stainless steel brush.

Unlike a Roomba, Grillbot isnt smart enough to keep itself from falling off a ledge. So if your grill doesnt have a lip, youll have to close the cover and let it do its work in peace.

The FamiBot, which, like the WinBot, is made by EcoVacs, reminded me a little bit of Keecker. Its a general-purpose bot meant to assist the entire family, whether thats by playing music or monitoring the home for intruders. It has some unexpected features like the ability to detect smoke and purify air. It can also integrate with other electronics to turn them on or off.

Fish Window Cleaning - Princeton, NJ, Princeton Junction ...

This week the First Congregational Church in Redlands began the next step in its restoration of the church's century old stained-glass windows when the large west windows facing Cajon Street were removed for cleaning and restoration.

The brick church at 2 W. Olive Ave. in Redlands was built and the windows installed in 1900. The largest of the windows being restored is a depiction of Christ made by the Tiffany Art Glass Company. The largest window is over eight feet wide and about 22 feet tall and was originally installed in memory of Rev. C.A. Kingsbury, city councilman, school trustee and namesake of Kingsbury Elementary School.

The 100-year-old windows are in need of extensive cleaning and repair due largely to the leading that is breaking down and putting stress and cracks in the glass. There are also thousands of little "pinpricks" where paint has fallen off. The removal and restoration will be done by Judson Studios in Highland Park, Calif. The windows took about four days to remove.

Bob Clark is a member of the church and is leading the five-year window restoration project expected to cost $500,000. So far the church has raised, through five-year pledges, approximately $450,000. From June to September in 2013 the project began with the removal and restoration of the south facing window on Olive Street.

"I'm overwhelmed to see the congregation being so supportive - and we're not huge just maybe 500 members - in our effort to raise $500,000 dollars," Clark said about the congregation's willingness to support such a large project. "We have also had neighboring churches donate."

Clark said the need for restoration was demonstrated when the south facing window returned after being restored By Judson Studios. The windows returned much clearer and with more vibrant colors.

"We're really lucky to have them this close," Clark said about Judson Studios. "They're probably the best in the country and we're lucky to have them this close."

According to Clark, when the window was first returned the choir, which stands facing the window, would become distracted by the beauty of the window and just stare.

"It was real surprise how much brighter they were," Pastor Lowell Lindon said. "You have to remember that those windows were exposed for all the years that smudging was part of the process of raising oranges here in Redlands and that smudge [used to protect the orchards from frost damage] got all over everything."

"Because this window was made by Tiffany Co. the window is irreplaceable," Clark said. "The Tiffany glass is like an onion made with layer upon layer of glass so you can see a lot of depth in it."
