    Bloodborne pathogens are a serious concern for cleaning employees.  It’s important that all cleaning personnel understand what bloodborne pathogens are, what hazards they possess, how to prevent exposure and the procedures for post exposure.  Bloodborne pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These diseases can be transferred through blood and bodily fluids.  It is important that cleaning employees and staff understand the importance of these hazards and follow guidelines on safety.

    OSHA has created guidelines for employers on how to implement control measures, universal precautions, hazard communication and record keeping.  Work practices should be explained to the employees and enforcement of the procedures should be a top priority.  Understanding the importance of using Personal protective equipment, disinfectants and the post-exposure steps are critical in those working in facilities that have possible contact with bloodborne pathogens. Eating, drinking smoking, applying cosmetics or lip balm, and handling contact lenses are prohibited in work areas where there is reasonable likelihood of occupational exposure to body fluids.

    Employers must implement a safety program so employees understand and follow the rules for working with bloodborne pathogens. They must wear the proper PPE, use the appropriate cleaning products and equipment when working in these facilities. A universal precaution is an approach to infection control to treat all human blood and certain human body fluids as if they were known to be infectious.

    To have a Green Cleaning Program is basically having a responsible program that has the best interest for your workers and the people that reside/work at the location being cleaned.

    The benefits of using a Green Cleaning Program would be to improve the productivity and morale of workers knowing quality, safe products are being used.  This also reduces worker's liability due to utilizing those safe products.  Your business will also flourish because of the preferred cleaning practices being used.  Ultimately as a company, you can go home with a peaceful mind knowing that you are doing a great thing for your community.

    Great customer service is the cleaning industry is, in general, similar to great customer service anywhere else. Employees should smile, make eye contact, and practice active listening (repeat what the client said, and ask questions to clarify). Clients need to feel heard and respected. 

    Janitorial staff should be respectful to the clients. They should be responsive to what the client needs. Treat clients with dignity and empathy above all else, no matter how difficult the situation is. Tasks should be performed as requested by the client. Finally, treat the client's space or belongings with upmost care.

    IJCSA certified staff are trained in great customer service. To find IJCSA members in your local area, visit https://www.ijcsa.org/Find-A-Cleaning-Service-Janitorial-Service.

    First of all, we need to distinguish why a prospect should choose us over our competition. If we don’t understand that, it is tough to succeed in this field. After we figure out who we are and what kind of services we provide, we need to create a professionally designed logo for our company because it helps us look like a professional, trustworthy business. Also, social media have a very important role when we advertise our business.

    Also, there is one thing that I would like to talk about, and it is the importance of the creation of irresistible special offers to make our phone ring. We need to interest our prospects in making them try out service. What about current customers? We need to reward them to keep with us. So it means that a special offer is not an afterthought for any business.

    First of all, I would like to say that it is important to have a carpet cleaning service if you have a cleaning company. It makes your business more complete when you have many kinds of cleaning services. Also, it means that it will positively influence the financial positions of your business.

    The first and most important step when you are going to implement a carpet cleaning program into your business is writing the business plan. It is tough to make the right decisions when you don’t have a plan. The second step is getting yourself trained and certified. It is important to be aware of what you are doing. Then make sure that your team is trained as well.

    I think these steps are the most important when you are planning to implement the carpet cleaning program into your business.
