1. Denmark is the cleanest country in the world. According to a study done by World Economic Forum and Tale University Denmark has an EPI score 82.50. The EPI index considers various criteria such as air quality, water, sanitation, forests, climate change, as well as other key factors. The EPI takes into account 50 percent of a country’s environmental health and the other 50 percent pertains to its ecosystem vitality. Another neat fact Denmark also ranks as the 2^nd Happiest Country to live in.

2. Almost all cleaning products should be left on a surface for at least 30 to 60 seconds before wiping away. If you are not waiting long enough the cleaners are not doing a good job at killing illness causing germs.

3. The Fastest window cleaner in the world lives in England. His name is Terry “Turbo” Burrows. He cleaned three standard 114.3 x 114.3 cm (45 x 45 in) office windows set in a frame with a 300 mm (11.75 in) long squeegee and 9 litres (2 gal; US 2.37 gal) of water in 9.14 sec at the National Window Cleaning Competition in Blackpool, UK, on 9 October 2009.
