    In My opinion, the most common found mold is always found after floods of homes or buildings. Having a mold cleaning program is necessary for janitorial companies once called upon. Molds are part of the natural environment, and can be found everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Mold is not usually a problem, unless it begins growing indoorsThe best way to control mold growth is to control moisture.

    There are many benefits of removing mold from your home. Immediate removal ensures that mold doesn't spread to the rest of your home. This will lessen the chances of health concerns occurring when your home has mold. While reducing the spread is a benefit also, the value of your home is preserved by reducing the mold occurrences.

    Understanding the importance of proper cleaning in a healthcare facility only broadens our scope and provides a thorough avenue of cleaning other facilities be it residential or commercial. It raises a better awareness of pathogens, microorganisms and bacteria that can spread quicker than you think if not using proper cleaning methods. 

    FSC will consistently train on bloodborne pathogens, how they spread and necessary precautions. We will also reinforce PPE as that is most necessary to help prevent the spreading of germs. FSC makes sure cleaners have and use their gloves when cleaning both residential and commercial client homes and facilities. What we will tighten up on is HOW we clean. 

    Something as small as changing your gloves before cleaning another area after cleaning a restroom. The idea is not to only protect yourself, but to protect the client as well. So often we consider the protection of ourselves when it comes to cleaning other spaces, but the reality is, we have to do our part together to protect one another. 

    Changing linens on a bed will also be done differently. It's not uncommon to hurry through changing the linens on a bed, but it's not common that we think about all of the bacteria that may be in those sheets. We may carelessly rub them on our clothes or shake them causing whatever bacteria on them to become airborne.  FSC will take greater precaution in this area as well as new training.

    Here is a link that will show the proper way to change the linens on a bed:https://youtu.be/RQui81K3Fh0

    Just take a moment to think about all the things that hide deep down in the fiber of your carpet: dust, dirt, allergens, bacteria, pet and human hair, grime, and whatever else makes its way via the occupants of your home. So why is it important to regularly clean your carpet? Carpets are expensive! Regularly cleaning your carpet helps to keep it in good condition, protecting the money you spent on it. Regular carpet cleaning can prevent your carpets from harming your health. They are a perfect breeding ground for allergens and bacteria, and they can expose you and your family to dangerous pollutants. Especially if you have young children or pets, or if someone in the home has allergies, regular carpet cleaning is essential. Its much easier to spend some money on a carpet cleaning service rather than replacing the entire area.

    Save money and saves your health.

    Great Customer Service to me means a lot. I have worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade so it's all about customer service. Great customer service means not only going above and beyond for your customers but also just making them feel like they are cared for, someone listens and cares for them. Making them feel like they are a part of our family. Remembering details about your customers and celebrating lifetime milestones with them. 


    Great customer service is also anticipating your customer's needs and meeting them before they ever have to ask you, taking action if you mess up and being proactive with a solution. Having empathy, always having a smile on your face and being a good listener are the foundation rocks of great customer service.

    Great customer service is a key to the success of service providers. By providing excellent customer service, service providers can ensure that the client can focus on developing their business relationship with its patients, customers, or the public. As mentioned in the video, a bright smile, eye contact, and a warm greeting can go a long way to satisfy the client and the public.  

    As a new member of the IJCSA, it's been very comforting to read many of the profiles from fellow service providers listed on the member directory which can be found here. I've read numerous posts related to the importance of providing effective customer service. It is imperative that service providers listen to their clients.

    Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in the blood of humans and is a cause of diseases in humans. As an employer, it is the responsibility of the company to have a written exposure control plan that must be kept updated. Records of exposure to employees must be kept on file for three years. Properly trained staff can greatly diminish the risk of exposure to sharp objects by not manually compressing trash, eating or applying cosmetics in a potentially contaminated area, and by effectively utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE).  


    Effective utilization of the Universal Precaution approach which was established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can significantly minimize the risk of exposure. Most occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens occurs when the pathogen comes into contact with an employees open membranes such as the nose or mouth. It is key for employers to take precautions to safeguard the public and employees. Once such measure is the implementation of an OSHA Exposure Control Plan or safety manual. As a porter or technician responsible for the effective cleaning of areas with a bloodborne exposure, it would be wise to treat every such incident as exposure with contaminated pathogens. This approach allows contractors and staff to safely enter a contaminated area and provide effective decontamination procedures. 


    PPE is vital, it can save the lives of staff members that are at risk of occupational hazards caused by bloodborne pathogens. Hepatitis B vaccines must be made available for free to all employees that are at risk of occupational exposure. Vaccinations must be provided after initial bloodborne pathogen training and within ten days of any occupational exposure.  Symptoms of the diseases potentially contracted as a result of bloodborne pathogen exposure may not appear for many years after the exposure.
