    Medical cleaning provides us with basic best practices to prevent the spread of germs and cross contamination. Coresivity provides janitorial services for clinics and hospitals. We are well-versed in aseptic cleaning. These best practices are well suited for preventing cross contamination and can easily be adopted for commercial and residential cleaning.

    Aseptic cleaning focuses on the reduction of germs and preventing the spreading of infectious diseases. Our aseptic cleaning standards and equipment enable healthcare facilities, clinics, and medical offices to meet required cleanliness standards. Our cleaning methodology reduces the spread of pathogens. Aseptic janitorial service technicians are fully versed in the causes of cross contamination and how to prevent it. We use room and surface specific cleaning techniques. A broad-spectrum disinfectant and sanitizing agents helps maintain a healthy environment. High traffic and high touch areas such as door handles, faucets, dispensers, and restrooms are central to eliminating cross contamination and containing pathogens.

    Two-bucket mopping ensures that an approved germicidal detergent solution stays clean as long as possible during the cleaning process. This system uses 2 buckets with one designated as clean and the other designated as dirty. The mop is dipped into the clean bucket and excess water is wrung out. The baseboards, corners, and floors are mopped. Then the mop is rinsed in the dirty bucket and wrung out. The mop is then dipped in the clean bucket and wrung out again. This process is repeated until mopping is completed. Clean water and mop head will be maintained at all times and changed after mopping any unsanitary spillage such as feces, urine or other biological hazard.

    Color coding microfiber cloths helps eliminate cross contamination. Color coding should be an integral part of training for janitorial and custodial staff. It helps verify that staff are changing cleaning supplies as appropriate. It is also provides reassurance to your clients that you are serious about preventing the spread of germs and are purposeful in your approach to cleaning and sanitizing. Color coding is a combination of area and task. Red is for sanitary appliances, restroom floors, toilets, urinals. Yellow is for restroom surfaces. Green is for general food and bar cleaning. Blue is for general low risk areas such as common areas, offices, and classrooms. More colors are always an option as well.

         In today's world, having a janitorial staff that is comprised of trained janitors is critical for maintaining a safe and healthy environment; at home and at work.  Janitors provide the routine cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting work that mitigate the potential health and safety hazards we may come in contact with.  These hazards can cause simple health irritations like rashes or coughs but they can also include more serious injuries like permanent disability and possibly even death.

         When looking for a janitorial staff to help with your cleaning needs, you can go to the IJCSA website a search a directory of certified professionals.  Given the importance of the work and required attention to detail; a certified janitorial staff can provide customers reassurance that you've taken the necessary steps to provide a clean and safe environment.  It is also important for these companies to maintain a continued path of education as OSHA, EPA, CDC and other governing bodies continually offer new guidance, protocols and requirements.

         In conclusion, we want to remind everyone that janitors aren't just people that dust, vacuum or clean windows.  Certified janitorial staff in the IJCSA directory have also been trained in Green Cleaning Procedures, Working with Bloodborne pathogens and handling dangerous chemicals to name a few.  Janitors that have these types of certifications not only prevent people from these touching or exposure to these risks but they also ensure that we can all live, work and play in a safe and healthy environment.

    By using a green cleaning method within the company, employees will have better health. These environmentally-friendly products will create a safer environment for them, especially for those with underlying conditions. Due to this ease of mind, employees can show increased performance in their jobs. Better performance benefits the company directly because of the choice of green cleaning. The company can also benefit from economic outcomes.

    Green cleaning causes less liability and saves money. Using products that support good health habits would cause less people to be out sick, which increases the amount of workers available. The company would also not be at fault for any sicknesses because of poor cleaning choices. They would gain a good reputation for keeping their employees and others safe.

    Households very often do not know how harmful certain chemicals are in their cleaning supplies and even in everyday supplies. By sharing awareness about green cleaning, families can take precautions to improve their health and the health of those who visit their homes. These harmful chemicals can pose a special risk  to children. Environmentally-friendly products help to keep them safe by not introducing harmful chemicals into their systems.

    Green cleaning creates a better outside environment and therefore helps the entire world. By using green cleaning, we help the earth by preventing harmful fumes or chemicals from affecting the air outside. Since green cleaning products are called "environmentally-friendly", we should use them as such in order to protect both the earth and others around us.

    First, basic manners and friendly behavior are the foundation of showcasing great customer service. It makes the interaction more enjoyable for you and your customer.

    Second, great customer service starts by knowing your customers and their needs. Taking time to put yourself in their shoes and thinking about what is important to them and what their concerns may be is a great start. Then, start to think how you can meet and exceed their needs, what would make that person really happy. In a conversation, ask questions and make sure you fully understand their needs, by mirroring back what their needs are.

    Follow up with a quick phone call to thank them for their business and making sure they are happy. If expectations are not met, work toward  finding a solution, which may include issuing a partial or full refund.

    At IJCSA, members learn what it takes to create happy customers.

    As an IJCSA Student or learner. I believe that this course woke me up that being a Janitorial Company is not only easy in people's minds but it helps me a lot and explains to me that cleaning every establishment is very dangerous especially if you don't know how. What kind of dirt are you going to clean. Because your client's health and your health will depend on how you clean and how to make their surrounding healthy as possible.

    That's why I want to thank IJCSA for explaining  to me how to thoroughly clean each establishment because each building is unique. So, the benefits of being IJCSA certified (Certification holder) is a big advantage for the company and most especially for client because we can determine if dirt is dangerous for the client's health and the same time, company can ably to give the advice on how to avoid common diseases that can possibly get by dirt and wrong methods without hurting anyone.

    People can assure that a company or person with IJCSA certification can ensure that only the use of green cleaning product is safe for everyone's health and less toxic as harmful. In case we use a chemical product. We have SDS and MSDS. Th SDS and MSDS contain all the information we need or the precautions on how to use the product.

    This is also a great advantage for both the company and the clients because if you hire a professional single cleaner or a company  that has passed all the IJCSA exam and earned certificate. this will benefit the clients and the company. You will get repeat client and the company will grow in positive way and can have good feedback. The client will trust you because of the good service you provide.

    From Biohazard, Carpet Cleaning, Bloodborne Pathogens, Customer Service, Green Certification, Master Green Certification, Janitorial Certification, Medical Cleaning, Mold Certification, Residential and Lastly Master Certification, this complete course was a huge opportunity to learn and share with my employees and also apply to client's. All the knowledge that IJCSA taught every company  or a single cleaner was really helpful and useful.

    In this case you will be able to provide efficient and effective service for each client you clean. Your confidence when performing cleaning will increase, your company's reputation will improve. Increase credibility. All of that is the advantage and benefit when you undergo training and examination.

    It is the responsibility of any cleaning company to remove germs and bacteria and protecting our clients from preventable infections.  Implementing OSHA practices for bloodborne pathogens can prevent illness or death by reducing human exposure to diseases such as HIV and HBV. These standards are not only for healthcare employees because blood and other bodily fluids can be found anywhere from offices to residences.

    In accordance with the universal precautions established by the CDC we are sure to treat all bodily fluids as potentially infectious. Therefore, it is imperative we wear personal protective gear such gloves, googles and masks while cleaning.   We are cautious, not for only our employees' safety but also for anyone else that may come in contact with that specific area. The appropriate products are used to disinfect, any hazardous materials are properly disposed of and thorough hand washing follows all cleans.

    We are dedicated to educating our employees on the importance of safe practices to protect ourselves and clients from the spread of potentially fatal illnesses.
