We don't need a cleaner in our office. We've got three managers who stand around, collecting dust :nana

:Very Happy Yes, we used to have large volumes dropping out the roof! We demanded and got a special clean! This is a health hazard to those with asthma etc.

We have the same trouble, with everyone sitting around having a chat each morning... the dust just seems to settle....and mail that does not go out is often covered in dust the next day....

You have to laugh all the troubles we have working for RM ... and its now down to dust...

it used to be a nightmare in my office, untill we had a new cleaner start. i don't generally have any problems with this sort of stuff but during my first 6 months with streaming eyes and constant sneezing i was beginning to think i was allergic to the job.

no problems now though, once even saw our cleaning lady hoovering out the dust from all the frames' slots!
