Dyson has unveiled a robot vacuum cleaner, which uses an advanced vision system to navigate rooms and can be controlled with a smartphone app. 

It Isn’t Just About the Planet

There are lots of things that professional cleaners can use to clean a place that don’t necessarily harm the environment. Some of those cleansers though are toxic to humans and animals and that presents a problem. To be a proper green company, the company needs to prove that it knows how to keep people just as safe as the planet. The last thing a company should do is say “we got it clean, but you can’t go in there or touch anything from there for a few days until the cleansers have settled in.”

Beware Price Gouging

The food industry is famous for increasing its prices for foods that are certified organic. It’s no wonder that other companies would try the same thing. While it is true that “greening up” a business can cost money, beware of the company that insists on passing that cost along to the consumer (and don’t try to do that if the company is yours). There are a lot of great tax credits and grants available to companies who want to go green that can offset the cost of the upgrades.

For many, diving into a shark tank and spending hours every day among the deadly creatures would be a terrifying thought.

But for one man, spending up to seven hours a day swimming with more than 10 sharks is just part of his daily work schedule.

That's because Matt Martin, 35, is a professional shark tank cleaner at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire and heads up a team which takes more than 1,000 dives in the 3.4million litre tank every year.

People can spend hours per week cleaning and tidying up their homes. However, according to a new study, no matter how much disinfectant people use, their homes will still be covered in bacteria. The bacteria, at least, mostly belong to the people who live in the house.

"We have so little information about where the microbes come from that shape our microbiome, whether it's for health or disease," said microbiologist Jack Gilbert of the Argonne National Laboratory and University of Chicago according to Philly. "It's the indoor environment. The best place to look at that was the home."

Imagine going right up under the center of Music Hall's grand chandelier and being able to touch the crystals. That's what I did last week as Music Hall stagehands lowered the two-ton chandelier for a cleaning.

Not too long ago, the chandelier would be lowered and raised at symphony concerts. I remember sitting in the gallery and watching it twirl to the music, virtually at eye level. But now it remains up high and only comes down once every year or two to wipe off the grime and allow it to dazzle even more.

Being inside and looking up through its dazzling strands was like being in a giant jewel box.

Briefly holding one of the larger crystals in my hand, I was amazed at how heavy it was.

THORNTON, Colo. – A Colorado mother says the vanilla milkshake her son got from the Thornton, Colo. Dairy Queen was tainted by a cleaning solution.

She ended up taking the boy to the hospital after he complained his tongue was burning, according to KMGH.

“Something was like bubbling on my tongue,” said Riley Chase who had the ‘Dairy Queen’ Shake.

“You couldn’t even taste the ice cream in it, it tasted like you were drinking a very strong cleanser, then the burn started instantly,” said Lisa Chase, the boy’s mother.

The earthquake couldn't have come at a worse time for the region, which has just started harvesting the 2014 crop.

"It's devastating. I've never seen anything like this," said Tom Montgomery, a winemaker for B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen, California.

The epicenter of the 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Northern California, the strongest in the area in 25 years, was just six miles southwest of Napa, California, the center of California's winemaking region.

B.R. Cohn lost "as much as 50 percent" of its wine, Montgomery said. The winery focuses on high-end, single estate wines that retail between $40 and $100 a bottle.

"It's not just good wine we lost, it's our best wine," he said.

At Dahl Vineyards in Yountville, California, a rack full of wine barrels was teetering and in danger of coming down. One barrel containing $16,000 worth of pinot noir fell and was lost as a result of the quake. The owners were trying to save the rest, removing the barrels with a forklift. Elsewhere in the region, red wine stains were visible outside the doors of a warehouse undefined indicating there was damage inside.
