Taking on the Big Guys! Young Entrepreneur Develops Product to Revolutionize the Stain Removal Industry

Juliette Anderson founder of the Amazing Stain Remover

(PRWEB) February 15, 2011

Gone are the days of pre-spotters and impractical, chemical smelling spot removers in unattractive bottles. Thanks to a passionate young entrepreneur named Juliette Anderson there’s now a stylish and scented solution to stain removal that has a whole lot more to offer.

“I wanted to develop a product that was fashionable yet functional. I knew that to be successful in this industry, and compete with the other brands, my stain remover not only had to be unique, it had to work well too.”

Packaged in a recyclable, aluminium atomiser, the ‘Amazing Stain Remover’ is not only stylish, it’s refillable too, only costing you 70c each time you need to top it up! This makes it more economical than its competitors and beneficial to the environment as it reduces the need for unnecessary packaging.

Unlike instant pen spot removers, the ‘Amazing Stain Remover’ was designed as a spray enabling it to deeply penetrate the fibres while gently removing the stain residue. While these products are convenient and popular, Juliette would like to warn people that some can “damage delicate fabrics if rubbed too aggressively”.

And finally, down to the formula, not only will it remove difficult food and beverage stains instantly, it will even eliminate their odours, leaving a pleasant fragrance. Click here for a demonstration.

The ‘Amazing Stain Remover’ is safe on all fibres, gentle on fabric, non hazardous, environmentally friendly and Australian made and owned.

ICAN Accepts Seat on EEF’s – EPA Advisory Group on IAQ Management

Boise, ID (PRWEB) August 27, 2004

The International Custodial Advisors Network, Inc. (ICAN) is pleased to announce the appointment of its Executive Director Allen Rathey to the Environmental Education Foundation’s Advisory Group on Indoor Air Quality, convened under a sole source contract by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The non-profit Environmental Education Foundation (EEF) is the world’s largest environmental charity focus­ing on environmental, health and safety issues, with 5500-members worldwide.

According to Rathey, “Because of the Environmental Education Foundation’s recognition from the insurance and lending communities for their water intrusion and mold management program, they have now been contracted by the EPA to expand this program to include additional IAQ related items.

“This expanded program will include the use of the EPA’s IAQ Building Education and Assessment Model (I-BEAM) software as an anchor for a total IAQ management program. ICAN will work with the EEF and other industry partners to refine, rework and promote EPA’s IAQ Guidelines to establish best IAQ practices and facilitate implementation of those practices by stakeholders, including insurance companies, financial institutions, and facilities in general. ICAN will be assisting with the process by being a resource for cleaning-related IAQ issues, document review, two-way communication and industry/marketing outreach.

“We will look to ICAN for guidance and recommendations on the full range of cleaning industry issues that will assist the EEF and EPA in evaluation and refinement of the EPA’s I-BEAM software, EPA’s draft IAQ Green Building Guidance, and the EEF’s Operations & Maintenance Plan and Training Module,” said Troy Johnson, Executive Director of the EEF.

“EEF believes ICAN has the unique ability to provide input and create awareness and credibility for EPA IAQ Guidelines and the EEF O&M Plan within the cleaning industry,” he continued.

“ICAN recommends that all facilities have an effective IAQ Operations and Maintenance plan in place,” said ICAN President Jim Harris, Sr. “We strongly believe in fostering education and promoting widespread adoption of IAQ best practices within the cleaning industry, and look forward to working with the EEF in its efforts to further develop and disseminate practical guidelines and implementation strategies.”

The overall purpose of this contract is to expand on what the EEF has accomplished to date by including more of the major players in the building design/construction and property management industry, with a focus on major insurance and financial institutions, to gain a wider acceptance of the EEF program, including the EPA’s I-Beam software and certain other EPA indoor environmental quality guidance, and to use this guidance as a basis for managing indoor environmental quality risks while protecting public health and lowering the risk associated with indoor pollution underwriting, as well as for asset-protection purposes.

ICAN joins ARCS Commercial Mortgage Co. L.P., the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO), Cleaning Management Institute (CMI), EMSL Analytical, Environmental Risk Resources Association, Environmental Hazards Management Institute (EHMI), HUD-Healthy Home Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Indoor Environment Department), The National Indoor Air Quality Institute, LLC, Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE), PNC Multi-family Capital and other organizations that support IAQ best practices, in working with the EEF’s EPA IAQ Advisory Group.

The International Custodial Advisors Network, Inc. (ICAN) is a non-profit association comprised of industry consultants and other educators with a wide range of expertise in building management, indoor environmental quality and service disciplines.

ICAN’s goal is to promote, strengthen and enhance respect for the cleaning industry while promoting the interests of ICAN participants through shared resources, expertise, talents, and contacts.

As part of ICAN’s mission to enhance the public perception of the cleaning industry, ICAN will engage in media outreach to show the direct correlation between cleaning and quality of life and health.

The Environmental Education Foundation (EEF)

The Environmental Education Foundation–the world’s largest environmental charity focus­ing on environmental, health and safety issues, with 5500-members worldwide–is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation whose mission is to engage in the developing and disseminating of information regarding hazards to human health and threats to the environment with particular emphasis on hazards or threats which are associated with occupying, purchasing, insuring, selling or owning residential, commercial or industrial property; testing methodologies and procedures to detect such hazards and threats; and programs and measures which mitigate or eliminate such hazards or threats.

Pet Sitters International Celebrates Professionalism in the Industry

King, NC (Vocus) February 24, 2009

Pet Sitters International, the world’s largest association for professional pet sitters, asks communities and pet owners to help recognize professional pet sitters and the value of in-home pet care during Professional Pet Sitters Week, March 1-7.

Introduced by Pet Sitters International (PSI) in 1995, the Professional Pet Sitters Week campaign seeks to educate pet owners about the advantages of in-home pet care, and encourages the public to explore professional pet sitting as a viable and rewarding career opportunity.

“Professional pet sitting has become a significant part of the pet care service industry in the past 15 years,” said Patti Moran, PSI’s president. “Many professional pet sitters put in long hours, seven days a week, 365 days a year, so they can provide personal in-home care for pets of all kinds.”

“These small business owners and their staffs truly deserve recognition for their tireless efforts and the optimal care they provide to pets,” Moran said.

According to PSI’s 2008 State of the Industry Survey, 98% of pet-sitting businesses are independently owned

The majority of PSI members service both dogs and cats (97%) while two-thirds also service fish, birds and caged pets. The top five services offered by members are basic pet care, dog walking, care of special needs pets, pet transportation and overnight pet care.

In the last decade, pet sitting has become a unique and preferred alternative to boarding facilities or having to rely on family and neighbors to check in on their pets. With 63% of U.S. households owning a pet, more households are turning to professional pet sitters for pet care they can trust when working or traveling.

“Peace of mind” is an added benefit that pet owners receive when using a professional pet-sitting service. With 97% of PSI members carrying pet-sitter liability insurance and 84% carrying both insurance and bonding, pet owners’ pets and their homes are secure when they must be away.

Further setting professional pet sitting services apart from hobbyists or fly-by-night pet-care businesses is a commitment to continuing education. PSI members take advantage of a diverse offering of educational resources, including PSI’s member magazine, The Pet Sitters’ WORLD, and an increasing number are taking advantage of the association’s rigorous accreditation program.

To locate a PSI member pet sitter in your area or for more information about pet sitting as a profession, visit PSI’s Web site at http://www.petsit.com or call (336) 983-9222, ext. 1.

About Pet Sitters International

Established in 1994, Pet Sitters International (PSI) is the world’s largest educational association for professional pet sitters, representing more than 8,000 independent professional pet-sitting businesses in the United States, Canada and abroad. PSI provides members with access to affordable bonding and liability insurance and educational resources such as PSI’s Accreditation Program, The Pet Sitter’s WORLD magazine and PSI’s annual Quest convention.
