    Here at RAVA Commercial Cleaning we take the health and safety of our clients and staff very seriously. That is why we have made a commitment to "clean green". Recent advancements in chemical technology have made it possible to develop cleaning products that are as effective as traditional products but do not contain harsh ingredients. A proper green cleaning program should consist of procedures that maximize cleaning results while protecting cleaning workers and facility occupants. 

    In addition to using nontoxic products, proper training of cleaning staff is also critical to a successful program. At RAVA Commercial Cleaning, our staff undergoes routing training and instruction on the latest trends and advancements as well as proper usage.

    Eliminating waste is always a priority.  We have implemented ways to reduce waste by monitoring correct product usage, converting to microfiber in lieu of paper products and recycling all materials that are a biproduct of our company.

    It is very important for cleaning staff to be aware of bloodborne pathogens risks. Any cleaning staff could come into contact with bodily fluids that have the possibility of spreading disease. Cleaning staff should always use universal precautions as there is a possibility to infect themselves and others by not properly handling situations where there is potentially bloodborne pathogens.

    This bloodborne pathogens training can help employees to be aware of the risks and to how use universal precautions. For instance, wearing proper PPE and following all established safety protocols. Without training, employees may not be aware of the risks and that could lead to many people being at risk to be infected by a bloodborne pathogen that could have been avoided.

    Even if a cleaning employee would not usually be expected to come into contact with a bloodborne pathogen, they should still have the proper training to be able to handle the situation and reduce the chances of anyone contracting a bloodborne pathogen disease.

    It is important for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens because anyone exposed to them are at risk for serious or life-threatening illnesses. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans.

    Follow standard precautions to help prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens and other diseases whenever there is a risk of exposure to blood or other body fluid.The Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) and CDC's recommended standard precautions both include personal protective equipment, such as gloves, gowns, masks, eye protection (e.g., goggles), and face shields, to protect workers from exposure to infectious diseases

    Universal Precautions and Safe Work Practices are infection control guidelines designed to protect all individuals from exposure to illness and disease. In order to be safe, assume that all blood, body fluids, tissues, and secretions are infectious.

    Choosing Green Cleaning products over everyday cleaning chemicals can be a life changing decision. 

    Ordinary cleaning chemicals can be sweet-smelling and make our lives easier, but we have to remember that they could also be harmful to our health and the environment. For example, bleach and ammonia, to name a couple can cause serious damage to our skin, lungs, throat and eyes when not properly used. Ammonia can cause asthmatic complications and bleach can cause migraines and muscle weakness.

    Green cleaning products shouldn't contain hazardous chemicals. They are safer and more suitable for everyday use around your homes and facilities. Green cleaning products are less harmful to the environment and doesn't contain chemicals that can cause significant pollution to our water and often use recyclable packaging, free of dyes and chlorine. 

    Always take reasonable precautions to storing cleaning products and to always wear your PPE when using cleaning chemicals.

     When I think germs, I think in terms of catching a cold/flu or worse. The last thing I want to gain from a visit to my medical provider is an additional illness. When a facility does not have a proper cleaning and disinfection plan in place, the patients are at much higher risk of additional infection, as well as the staff.   For example, my company services an Outpatient Wound Care Center that sees upwards of 100 patients daily who are all being seen for open and active wounds. Without using proper PPE and proper cleaning procedures, myself, staff and patients would be extremely susceptible to daily exposures of bodily fluids, organic matter, infectious diseases and more. 

    Cleanliness is important in any professional setting. However, we look to our health care professionals as the subject matter experts therefore we expect universal and/or specific precautions and the confidence of knowing that their facilities are clean and safe from further harm.
