    My goal for my business is to implement a carpet cleaning program into my business. The benefits of having carpet or rugs cleaning implemented for certified IJCSA members will increase sells, increase productivity and allow my business to grow through all services. Having a carpet cleaning certification will promote more variety of services for current clients and protentional clients. Having certification will make more business more professional and trust worthy with the population i serve. There is definitely a high demand for carpet cleaning. Being a professional carpet cleaner will benefit me by being able to professionally inform my clients about potential health hazards when carpets are not being maintained. 

    In addition, dirty carpets can have a bigger impact on companies and their employees than people realize. Clean carpets attract more clients, decreases chances of damaged carpets, improves the image of a company and most importantly creates a welcoming environment.

    Good customer service starts with upper management through the company representing, training, and working with their employees to make sure the product or service they are selling is backed to the fullest. 

    As members of IJCSA, it gives us the training and knowledge to put our business to an above level with experience and expertise.

    I think implementing medical cleaning situations is  important in all work places. As I've stated before if you work in an office of 5 or 500 you can all carry in the same germs. 

    Think about this, walking in the office we all use the same door, our office is an office of 5, but all of us touch and use the same items such as sinks, kitchen items and bathrooms.

    I think keep hand sanitizer in each open area will help eliminate the spread of viruses, disease and contamination. But people will have to be mindful of good handwashing practices as well. 

    I think that having the office hard surface areas sprayed down end of each day with a disinfectant is very important as well. And offering and type off PPE to any staff that is cleaning.

    Understanding bloodborne pathogens and the potential risks involved when coming into contact with contaminated materials and utilizing universal precautions when placed into situations where you will be handling contaminated materials are all vitally important.

    By following universal precautions, you are not only preventing yourself from contracting an infectious disease, you are also minimizing or eliminating the risk for your clients and their clients from contracting an infectious disease. Cleaning service staff removing a hazard safely keep all parties safe.

    Following universal precautions to prevent bloodborne pathogen exposure includes, but is not limited to: using the proper PPE for the situation, knowing what sanitization methods to use, knowing how to contain soiled items, always washing your hands and having reporting requirements and protocol in place in case of possible exposure.

    There are many benefits to being a green cleaning company. Being listed in the IJCSA Green Cleaning Directory is just one benefit. This allows like-minded consumers to find, and verify that our company provides a green cleaning  alternative to more traditional, and harsher, chemicals. This provides our company with exposure to a whole new and expanded customer base.

    Being listed in the Green Cleaning Directory adds value to already invaluable membership, and helps get our environmentally sound service advertised to the people. 

    Providing green services, instead of traditionally harsh chemicals and bleaches, not only protects the environment; it provides you with a new marketing tool. Many people are concerned with the harsh effects of chemicals. This is compounded when the chemicals are introduced into the home and can effect pets and children. These are the main reasons we insisted on maintaining an IJCSA Green Cleaning Certification

    Alleviating customer concerns helps ensure a satisfied customer and repeat business. While we all went into business to make money, we all agree that we only want to provide the safest and most environmentally sound services to our consumers.

    By staying Green we ensure that we do our part to further reduce the introduction of harsh chemicals into the environment. Our environmentally sound service helps  to ensure the safety of the environment as well as those you care about most. If you care about the environment, and would like to hire someone who shares the same concerns, please take the time to ensure you hire an IJCSA Certified Green Cleaning Company.

    Germs, bacteria, and viruses are present virtually almost everywhere. To our workplaces, homes, and recreational spaces. Today, with the emergence of constant harmful viruses, advanced cleaning methods and practices are required to keep commercial facilities and residential home safe and healthy. It is important now more than ever for commercial and residential cleaning services to implement medical cleaning practices to their clients.

    When people hear about medical cleaning, they assume that the level of cleaning is impeccable, and no germs, bacteria, and viruses can survive from that process. However, the general population does not have the time nor the training to do that for their own facilities and homes. That is why it is imperative to have a commercial and residential cleaning service to provide a medical cleaning level of service for businesses and homes. Commercial and residential cleaning services are trained in bloodborne pathogens, and chemical hazards. With this knowledge, they know how to clean and disinfect surfaces without fail. In addition, commercial and residential cleaning services are trained of how to wear properly PPE gear, and how to properly dispose them, so they can eliminate the spread of harmful illnesses. Furthermore, cleaning services train their cleaning techs on proper safety measures for the safety of their customers as well as their own. This all sounds good, but not every cleaning service can provide that level of service.

    Applying a medical cleaning level of service requires a step further of knowing of how to handle a vacuum, mop, and a disinfectant. It requires to have a knowledge of what germs, bacteria, and viruses are, and how to protect from those diseases. Commercial and residential cleaning services that enroll to organizations such as the IJCSA will receive this training and much more. IJSCA members are trained on Green Cleaning, Bloodborne Pathogens, Chemical Hazards and Medical Cleaning courses to help cleaning companies achieve a higher level of cleaning, so communities can be safe and healthy. In addition IJSCA members receive advice and support of how to develop geared training programs for training and safety practices, and there is a vast network of cleaning professionals who are always there to provide insight to new members who just got into the cleaning industry.  Therefore, it is important to make sure that the cleaning service you hire for your facilities or home belongs to a reputable organization such as the IJCSA, so you can have peace of mind from harmful illnesses.

    As stated previously, germs, bacteria, and viruses are everywhere. To keep our employees, clients, and families safe, a level of medical cleaning service is required to combat these diseases. This can be achieved when a commercial and residential cleaning service belongs to a reputable organizations such as the IJSCA because their members receive training and support of how to develop a cleaning service that can provide a superior level of medical cleaning for your health and safety.

    Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause disease in humans. It is important for any employee and staff member to have knowledge about bloodborne pathogens, because knowing how to handle them can make a difference between life and death. 

    Most exposure occurs when the pathogen comes in contact with the employees mucus membranes, through nose or mouth, cuts or abrasions, etc. The CDC created a "Universal precautions" approach, essentially stating that blood and certain bodily fluids from ALL patients should be considered potentially infectious, so all precautions must be taken to always protect yourself from bloodborne pathogens. 

    Alternative color coding and labeling can help all employees know that compliance with Universal Precautions is required. Always wear protective gear, to keep yourself safe from pathogens, as needles may be present. Always thoroughly wash hands to help prevent infection and spread of disease. OSHA requires that a control plan must be in place at any location where bloodborne pathogens may be present.
