I am proud to announce that I am now IJCSA Master Green Cleaning Certified, a distinction that demonstrates my commitment to providing safe, effective, and eco-friendly cleaning services. Throughout this certification process, I gained in-depth knowledge about the benefits of using green cleaning methods and non-toxic products that are both effective and environmentally responsible. The course covered a wide range of important topics, including the environmental impact of traditional cleaning chemicals, the benefits of using natural cleaning ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide, and how to ensure that cleaning practices promote health and sustainability in both residential and commercial spaces.

One of the most interesting aspects of the course was learning about the dangers of chemical-based cleaning products and how they can harm both human health and the environment. I was surprised to learn about how many common household cleaners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which contribute to indoor air pollution and can trigger respiratory issues. By becoming IJCSA Master Green Cleaning Certified, I now have a greater understanding of how to avoid these harmful chemicals and instead use natural disinfectants like essential oils and steam cleaning, which are just as effective at sanitizing and cleaning without any toxic residue.

In addition to learning about the health and environmental impacts of cleaning chemicals, the certification course also emphasized the importance of green cleaning practices in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. It was particularly eye-opening to discover how simple adjustments, like using microfiber cloths or eco-friendly cleaning solutions, can dramatically reduce waste and energy consumption. As a certified green cleaning professional, I now feel equipped to help clients make better choices that not only improve the cleanliness of their homes and businesses but also protect the planet for future generations.
