NEW ORLEANS - A Jefferson Parish man is suing a janitorial company for injuries he sustained at work when he slipped on a floor that had just been mopped.

Jimmy Hernandez filed suit on Jan. 20 in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court against Empire Janitorial Sales and Service.

Hernandez claims he was working as an engineer at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans when the defendants cleaned the floor of his workspace.

Hernandez alleges he finished up his work and was leaving the room when he slipped on a liquid the defendants spread on the floor and fell. The plaintiff also claims he was lifting himself from the first fall when he slipped and fell again on the substance and received personal injuries to his shoulders, hands, elbows and back.

GERMANTOWN HILLS - Now that Cynthia Schneider has acquired $1 million in liability insurance, the Germantown Hills Village Hall can be cleaned professionally again.

During its regular meeting Thursday night, the Village Board approved a deal to resume using Schneider to clean two village-owned buildings. The Germantown Hills-area resident had been providing janitorial services for four or five years, Trustee John Ford said, but was idle the past few months while the board debated her insurance status.

The village insurance carrier's standard recommendation is for contract employees to carry $1 million in liability coverage. According to Trustee Clark Hopkins, Schneider had no proof of insurance - an issue he raised at the November board meeting.

The world’s first magnetic soap has been produced and it could dramatically improve pollution clean-ups.

Scientists from the University of Bristol made the soap by dissolving iron in chloride and bromide ions, very similar to those found in everyday mouthwash or fabric conditioner.

Amazingly, the soap responded to a magnetic field, which raises the possibility of producing pollution-fighting detergents that can be lifted back out of sensitive environments.

Watch for home cleaning solutions coming soon.

When it comes to cleaning, there's a lot of misinformation out there. Are natural cleaners really the best? Maybe you wonder if the cleaners you use at home are the right choices. Some products can actually damage the very items they're intended to clean. Knowing the right products and the right way to clean can make your home cleaner, prevent damage, and help you clean more safely, too.

NATURAL PRODUCTS

While products like vinegar get lots of great press for being natural, it's important to remember that vinegar is acidic, so it should be used carefully. Vinegar, as well as lemon juice, should not be used to clean natural stone surfaces, such as granite or marble, and metal, such as stainless. It's never a good idea to mix vinegar with bleach; this can cause a chemical reaction that's toxic and has hazardous vapors.

The whole process starts off at floor level, with all 120ft of the wooden floors, made out of 30,602 blocks of mahogany, oak and walnut, being stripped back, sanded down, varnished and then polished to perfection to ensure any dance can be performed in style.

Once the floors are sparkling it is time for the ballroom's 14 chandeliers to be taken down and individually dusted, cleaned and bulbs replaced. 

Each chandelier has over eighty bulbs, meaning 1,120 lights have to be individually cleaned and inspected by hand to ensure they are in full working
