Window cleaning tips

Tags: , , , ,

One of the best things that you can give or do for your house is to clean its windows.But just cleaning them is not enough.  Usually windows that have been cleaned before with harsh chemicals have a residue.  This residue doesn’t easily come off.That would leave you with windows with a lot of streaks.So here are some tips in cleaning your windows without leaving some streaks on them afterwards.

If you are planning on cleaning them by yourselves then you need something that would remove those residues.  Obviously as a San Diego window cleaning company my advice would be to get a good window cleaning company.  But if you want to do it yourself you can get rid of the streaks.  You are going to have to use a good cleaner to cut through all the residue of those chemicals.

Here is a natural cleaner you can set up yourself.And it would be good for you since it is not expensive.And since the ingredients are natural then it is also good for the environment. In my San Diego window washing service I use something similar.You would have to have a quarter cup of vinegar.Then you have to mix it with half a teaspoon of liquid soap.This ingredients combine to be a good remover of those streaks.

Now if you have very dirty windows that combination won’t completely work. You are going to have to use a window cleaning trick.  Of course I have to use it sometimes in my Carlsbad window cleaning service and it works like a charm. This trick is to warm the vinegar first.This will allow it to clean those very dirty windows. 

So use this combination to make a cleaner that will give you streak free windows.It is a proven combination that can clean windows.

Should I Use Fluoride or Not?

Tags:

It is quite amazing when you stop to consider all of the different ideas and notions about proper dental care. These seemingly conflicting theories leave the patient – or more accurately – the consumer, in a sea of bewilderment most of the time.

For instance, is fluoride in mouthwash and toothpaste good or bad? Many dental experts believe that toothpaste, mouthwash and even topical treatments of fluoride harden your teeth and are therefore good. Other researchers say that any fluoride containing product put in the mouth spikes blood fluoride levels. Fluoride apparently tends to accumulate in parts of the brain as well.

Research like that done by Dr. Phyllis J. Mullenix, PhD. clearly makes you question even small amounts of fluoride showing up in our drinking supply and food supply – as many foods are exposed to fluoridated water. She also discusses that when they wanted to study even lower doses of fluoride for extended periods of time, that her funding was cut.

There are even dentists who are against fluoride’s use in the human body for any reason. Confusing, isn’t it? Who do we listen too? I can’t answer that question definitively for you but here are some thoughts that I will share on this aspect of dental health.

I am personally against fluoridation of drinking water. Despite the arguments in favor of forced medication of our drinking supply, I think it is wrong to ‘force’ any medication on a population. This behavior effectively side steps each person’s right to choose. On the other hand, the choice of personal dental care products is just that: a choice. Each person as the right to choose whether he uses fluoridated rinse and toothpaste.

When it comes to adding fluoride to the drinking supply, many scientists and professionals are against the use of fluoride while many others are in support of it. When you have this kind of debate between scientists, isn’t it best to error on the side of caution? Follow the links below to learn more about what I think is useful on the topic of dental health.

Tools For NFPA Employee Safety

Tags: , ,

The issue of electrical work procedures wouldn’t be considered complete without a dialogue about insulated tools.  Risk team members know very well that they can’t allow employees to mend electrical components or hot circuits using typical tools.  However, this safety guideline also covers even workers who are asked to perform their job in the vicinity of exposed or hot circuits while performing their everyday jobs.  Insulated tools provide an mandatory margin of safety in these situations, one that has been mandated by OSHA and safety experts for years.

The subject of what qualifies as an insulated tool can be fairly confusing.  A simple plastic or rubber grip is not any certification of a tool’s capability to defend against transmitting a specified intensity of electric power to the user.  In fact, OSHA explicitly defines an insulated tool as one which defends the user from the conducting contacts on the tool by a pocket of air or the use of dielectric shielding.  All insulated tools will be branded as such by their maker – if the claim hasn’t been made, then the tool can’t be understood to offer any protection.

Specialty tools which are used to interact with electrical circuits such as the crimpers, cutters and skinners built by Klein are normally found as insulated tools.  These special Klein tools are proficient at warding off up to 10000 volts, and are ASTM and IEC rated.  However, there are many other types of tools that are often used with live circuits that are not as easy to find insulated versions.  These comprise sockets, wrenches and screwdrivers, as well as ratchets.  Companies such as Klein and OEL make superior insulated tools that satisfy each of these requirements.  Again, it is vital to ensure that the device that is being considered for purchase is truly a sufficient instrument and not simply offering a rubber handle for
cushioning or grip-enhancing use.

Similar to any equipment used by workers while performing their jobs, insulated tools must be properly maintained in order to make certain that they continue to provide adequate safeguard against shock hazards.  Reliability and safety can be validated using an inspection program, which is in fact mandatory by OSHA to be implemented at any facility performing thevariety of tasks that requires their service.  For the most part inspections are visual in description, and involve examining tools for breaks, stress or other signs that their reliability may be in question.  Tools ought to also be kept clean, so as to avoid potential slips that may cause them to be dropped and hence expose a user’s hand to the nearby electrical circuit.

Risk managers should keep in mind that the use of insulated tools does not prevent the mandatory use of other safety gear (PPE) required for use during electrical work.  This can include gloves, hoods, pants and full suits, depending upon the situation in question.  Similarly, the use of safety gear PPE should not be viewed as providing a level of protection that makes the use of standard tools near a charged electrical circuit adequate.
