This can be a sure-fire way to hear first hand what kind of company this is, and what kind of services they offer. Make sure when in the evaluation process that you ask for references, and check them out thoroughly. Another step you can take to protect yourself would be to ask the cleaning company if they offer insurance. Many <a href="http://www.mcs-group.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"><b>commercial cleaning</b></a> companies offer certified bond insurance, which is insurance money set aside to be used in case of broken, damaged, or lost property of their clients.

I got them as a gift, I think they are a little expensive if you buy them - but they are pretty amazing. I just wet the cloth, wipe the windows down, and done! I haven't been able to find much information about the "environmentally friendly antibac agent" that they use, though? But I'm not using chemicals with them, so it has got to be a little bit better, right? thanks! i am off to try them – i love the idea of putting esential oils in..i love the smell of lavender and lemon. yum!

Ok my dork of a husband just did some reading (your blog is an inspiration) combined it makes Sodium Acetate (a salt) which can break down oils and fats (great for cleaning the kitchen & bathroom) So you were right cleaning with salt is not wrong! Oh he is so chewing on some humble pie!
