    Green is now! We have entered an age of being more conscious of the environment and the products we use. The smell of harsh chemicals is no longer the sign of a clean home or business. The correct term for that strong smell is call Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). VOCs have been known to cause cancer, cause organ damage, weaken the immune system, impact air quality and cause reproductive problems. Using toxic chemicals is a thing of the past.

    It’s time we put ourselves and our loved ones first! Finding a Green Cleaning Service can sound like a daunting task, but it’s quite the opposite. By simply going to the IJCSA Green Cleaning Service Directory you will be provided with a list of Green Cleaning Service Providers. Whether companies are using natural green cleaners or commercial “green” products, they are taking a step forward in bettering the environment. Companies are making a big difference by minimizing their impact on the environment.

    As a new company, we are proud to start and stay Green! The preservation of one’s health and the use of safe nontoxic chemicals is one of our main priorities. Each of our Professionals is educated on each chemical that is used and knows exactly where to find the MSDS if any question arises. We make sure each product is researched and tested before being used in a home or business. Green cleaning is not a phase it’s a lifestyle change. Green is clean!

    A clean environment in which one lives or works is essential for good health, much like the air, food and water we need. Bloodborne pathogens similar to contaminated air, food and water poses a risk to health and life.

    A well trained janitorial service being educated about the potential dangers of bloodborne pathogens, can help maintain a clean and safe environment to benefit the health of those in it.

    IJCSA maintains high standards for its members and therefore provides the necessary training to achieve certification in the various scopes of the profession. The bloodborne certification is one credential on the path of excellence and professionalism for the IJCSA members.

    Implementing a green cleaning service program in our business is a journey we’re excited to embark on. We’ll begin by educating our team about the importance of using eco-friendly products and the positive impact they have on our clients’ health and the environment. Training will focus on how to effectively use non-toxic cleaning agents, highlighting their benefits like improved indoor air quality and reduced exposure to harmful chemicals. We’ll create a system for choosing products that meet strict environmental standards, ensuring they’re safe for both our staff and the families we serve.

    The benefits of a green cleaning program go beyond just being environmentally friendly; they help us build stronger relationships with our clients. Many people today are looking for services that align with their values, and by adopting green practices, we can attract eco-conscious customers who care about sustainability. Plus, using concentrated eco-friendly products can lead to cost savings over time. Ultimately, our commitment to green cleaning isn’t just about cleaning—it's about creating healthier spaces, fostering a sense of community, and demonstrating our dedication to making a positive impact in the world around us.

    Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in blood that can rapidly spread. It is very critical to know about bloodborne pathogens because they can result into serious or life-threatening illnesses.  By being knowledgeable of how to handle bloodborne pathogens keeps you and others safe.

    It's very important to limit yourself from any exposure to bloodborne pathogens by wearing protective gear such as googles, gloves, facemasks, and protective apparel.  It's also vital to thoroughly washing your hands after cleaning an area that has been exposed to bloodborne pathogens. You should also remove an contaminated articles of clothing immediately and dispose everything in the designated areas for hazardous waste. 

    When dealing with bloodborne pathogens, you should treat all human blood and other bodily fluids as if they are infectious.  You could be exposed to diseases like HIV or Hepatitis B. You also have to be very vigilant for needles and other sharps- related items that can cause injuries.

    While they often work behind the scenes and out of the spotlight, janitors and janitorial staff play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness, order, and functionality of the buildings and spaces we occupy every day. From schools and offices to hospitals, shopping malls, and public venues, these dedicated professionals work tirelessly to ensure our surroundings remain sanitary, hygienic, and welcoming.

    Their contributions extend far beyond simply sweeping floors and emptying trash cans. Janitors and janitorial teams are responsible for a wide range of tasks, including sanitizing surfaces, restocking supplies, maintaining equipment, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. Their efforts help prevent the spread of illnesses, create a pleasant atmosphere, and promote overall well-being for those who frequent these spaces.

    Moreover, the work of janitors and janitorial staff directly impacts our productivity and ability to focus. Clean and well-maintained environments foster a sense of order and tranquility, enabling students to concentrate better in classrooms, employees to work more efficiently in offices, and patients to heal more comfortably in healthcare facilities. Their dedication to their craft, often carried out diligently and with pride, contributes immensely to the smooth operation of our daily lives, even if we may not always realize or appreciate it fully.

    I have been in the cleaning field for twenty years ,  over time I have built my career as a cleaning professional I have made great strides  in my cleaning career through dedication and hard work I have built a great clientele base over the years whom I value you greatly and attribute for my greater success . I am OCD a germophobic by nature my instinct is clean , I am a strong innovative cleaner that knows how to bust through and remove grime , always a front runner in safety for me and my clients .I am a  detail oriented cleaner  and  have exceptional organizing techniques as well as design I always follow through with a showroom finish on every cleaning job I complete .

    I was a young single mother my only skill at the time was being a mom and homemaker working endless jobs to make ends meet while attending classes  and paying my way through college I worked hotels and other no end jobs barely making ends meet then I discovered I could clean on my own I landed a new construction contract through my fathers long time best friend it didn't take long until the money started flowing in I have been building different avenues ever since cleaning residential ,  commercial ,  and new construction .

      I can honestly say the last five years have been my best growth and strongest clientele base I ever had I have built my growth through strong customer service skills dedication and hard work has gained me great PR  word of mouth and referrals through past and current clients is what has created my biggest growth thus far  . My clients are  people that I have grown to love knowing and caring for their needs for so many years some more recent than others  I consider them friends as well as an extension of family when you are working for the same costumers throughout the years would be hard not too in my opinion  . Up until a few months ago I was very confident within my skill and experience as a cleaning professional to clean and disinfect for my clients keeping them safer every clean giving extra protection through the cold and flu season then Covid - 19 came , when I realized  how serious the pandemic was I suspended business immediately even before the state started shutting down I knew this virus was bigger than anything I had ever experienced . My instinct was to immediately start looking for more astringent PPE for proper protection for my personal protection as well as my clients protection I immediately thought to seek training and certification for bio hazard cleaning  did a quick search online and found IJCSA I was navigating the website and found I could get certified in biohazard cleaning but first I would have to get certified in hazardous chemicals customer service , residential cleaning specialist  then move on to bio hazard cleaning certification  IJCSA also has many other certifications available . I have had a lot of fun taking these refresher course study for these certifications has reminded me of the importance of chemical safety and the different resources out their for us professionals .

    For me the key advantages of hiring a cleaning professional that has passed the IJCSA RCS Certification is for safety professionalism  and good cleaning performance providing a better experience when hiring a house cleaner . hiring  a IJCSA RCS Certified cleaner advantages in safety is a front runner in this dangerous time with Covid - 19 looming in my opinion is a must for a cleaning professional to train for safety in all aspects IJCSA RCS Certified cleaners certify in bloodborne pathogens , hazardous chemical , cleaning skill and safety definitely is an advantage for you to insure to your clients you are ready and qualified for the job moving forward .

    It is of the upmost importance to establish and maintain safe cleaning practices, protocols, and plans as you encounter them when dealing with any type of chemicals and such and especially Bloodborne pathogens. As the video states a plan should be established and checked annually to ensure it is up to date and accurate.  Ensuring this one practice is completed will be an immense help to ensuring safety protocols are in place. 

    Ensuring safety protocols are established and follow via and annual plan is just the beginning and is a daily work and endeavor that is imperative to keep staff safe. Ensuring that cleaning employees understand the importance of these simple practices is critical in maintaining the safety of employees and patients when applicable. 

    Bloodborne Pathogens can seem like a daunting concept to understand and maintain; however, when simple tasks are established it is more easily manageable. The video was extremely enlightening and I enjoyed how simple it was to understand so these practices can be appropriately incorporated into daily operations.
