BREAKING NEWS As Cleanzine was about to be broadcast today, I received notification that the Carpex/Windex exhibition & conference, which had been due to be held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on 8th & 9th of March, has been postponed. The new dates have been advised as 3rd & 4th October 2012 and the venue remains the same. The event is organised by Quartz Business Media and is sponsored by the National Carpet Cleaners Association and the Federation of Window Cleaners. Martin Scott, exhibition sales director, said that the decision was taken "because both sectors are finding trading tough and both are reporting that business activity is not set to rise until Q3 of this year. It was felt that holding the event in the Autumn, would allow everyone to take advantage of the expected increase in buying activity."

Steady stream of biobased products are headed our way in 2012 According to Jacquie Ottman of J.
