    Janitors and Janitorial staff are very important to our daily lives. They are the foundation of everyone walking into any place and being comfortable to lets say shop at the mall for that new outfit, or the grocery store and buying all your ingredients for dinner in a nice and clean space. If it wasn't for the janitor or cleaning staff, you would not step foot into a filthy building.

    Janitors are the backbone for everyone enjoying shopping, eating, or even watching a movie in a nice and clean area. They are the ones that keep a place going and wanting one to go back. Cleanliness is the first thing someone notices when walking into a place and the proceeds with their agenda in hand. If you are in need of a janitorial service, please see IJCSA's Directory https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices 

    On that note remember when you do see a janitor or any cleaning staff just give them a small thank you, they are a huge reason you are able to enjoy your outing.

    Maintaining a clean pathogen free environment is important for not only yourself but the community around you.

    Learning about bloodborne pathogens in the cleaning industry is extremely important for the safety of your wellbeing. By understanding the potential risks associated with diseases such as HIV you are better equipped with the knowledge to implement the right protocols in order to properly clean up hazardous and dangerous messes.

    This knowledge is an important aspect of professional cleaning services, ensuring the safety of both cleaning personnel and the communities we live in. Understanding when to use the right equipment in these situations can greatly decrease exposure to health risks and potentially harmful diseases.

    What is the importance of customer service? 

    In short, the answer is everything. Your business will only grow as much as your customer service skills. If you are willing to become better and improve on your customer service, it will take you and your business very far.

    If you need help on your customer service skills I would recommend reaching out to fellow janitorial cleaning owners and workers at the directory for a few minutes of their time.

    Everyone is super helpful nowadays and you I would highly recommend IJCSA for all your resources in janitorial topics and training.

    Cleaning as I learned in our business Celestial Commercial Cleaning Service is not a commodity or luxury but simply a requirement and these requirements involve being knowledgable in Bloodborne Pathogens training and how to avoid infections for staff and visitors to a facility. 

    There are universal standards on how to be safe like using PPE including but not limited to safety glasses, masks, gloves, gowns and more. It is important to use PPE to prevent contamination especially when dealing with Bloodborne Pathogens.

    OSHA recommends: "If you are stuck by a needle or other sharp or get blood or other potentially infectious materials in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on broken skin, immediately flood the exposed area with water and clean any wound with soap and water or a skin disinfectant if available. Report this immediately to your employer and seek immediate medical attention."

    When it comes to hiring a cleaning person or company there many advantages to choosing one with   an IJCSA Residential Cleaning Service certification (RCS).  The IJCSA RCS certification emphasizes the importance of thorough cleaning methods for residential spaces. The training outlines processes and guidelines for proper restroom cleaning and effective disinfecting. Further, a cleaner will learn industry recommended cleaning tips that are useful for hotels and short-term rentals.

    From mopping to sanitizing surfaces, certified cleaning experts know the specific techniques required to achieve hygiene in these spaces. The IJCSA-certified cleaning professionals use tried and true industry best practices. An example of a common best practice is the three-cloth method. In short it involves using separate cloths for different areas to prevent cross-contamination. This method promotes cleanliness and prioritizes sanitary needs for any living space.

    Another consideration when it comes to effective cleaning techniques is the detergents and solutions used. Safety is paramount when it comes to cleaning. Certified professionals understand the importance of safe disinfectants. They know which solutions will effectively remove pathogens, while minimizing any potential harm to occupants. The correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is another measure ensuring the safety of the cleaner and the client and/or those within the cleaned environment.

    The key advantages of hiring a cleaning person or company with an IJCSA RCS certification extend beyond just cleanliness. The provider-client relationship is valued and upheld by IJCSA-certified cleaners. The certification emphasizes a strong value for customer focused service. A trained RCS cleaner is professional and practices honesty. He exercises discretion toward honoring a customer’s privacy. In so doing the customer can develop a level of comfort. They can rest assured knowing their trust is well-placed in the hands of a professional. When you open your home to a certified cleaning service you can expect:

    •       Commitment to safety
    •         Use of effective cleaning methods
    •         Proper use of PPE
    •         Adherence to industry best practices
    •         Strong values for customer focused service

    In closing entrusting your cleaning needs to an IJCSA RCS-certified professional or company offers not only a clean home but a safer, more hygienic environment.
