    It is of vital importance that an employer gains knowledge and educate their employees on blood borne pathogens.  By acquiring these information employers can then provide proper training that will help their team safe guard themselves, colleagues and the general public from contracting illnesses that can be easily transmitted if it comes in contact with mucus membrane in example the nose and mouth.

    When this information is filtered to the staff, they begin to practice health and safety that is requires examples wearing the correct personal protective equipment(PPE) lowering the risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens. They will also begin deposing of garbage and linen using color coded bags making it easier for other team members to identify the contaminated materials.

    When an employer and their team practice the standard of infection control, following OSHA precautions for blood borne pathogens and implementing their Exposure control plan, this will minimize the risk of exposure thus protecting themselves., customers and the wider public.

    Proper cleaning in healthcare facilities is the first line of defense in protecting ourselves and others from germs, viruses, diseases and infections. Facilities should be cleaned according to standards by OSHA and appropriate cleaning products should be used just for healthcare facilities.  In fact, with so many people visiting healthcare facilities and people being seen by healthcare professionals on a daily basis it is imperative that those facilities are cleaned properly.  Due to the increased risk of infection from blood or other bodily fluids, OSHA maintains a strict cleaning regime for all health care facilities; to make sure everyone is doing what it takes to keep a safe and healthy environment.

    Currently with the recent pandemic swarming around among many nations, the cleaning needs of healthcare facilities are a must. Consistent cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing are vital in keeping healthcare facilities up to standard.  In order to keep everyone entering and leaving the facility safe and healthy, all cleaning personnel need to be well trained in how to clean a healthcare facility. A link is provided below that will help get your employees trained and certified with the cleaning standards associated with healthcare facilities: https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices

    The CDC and other healthcare organizations provide in-depth information in regards to training and cleaning healthcare facilities. We believe that it is important that everyone involved has an understanding of the basic beliefs and the importance of keeping healthcare facilities clean and disinfected.

    Implementing green cleaning methods is important because it minimizes long term damage to our bodies and our environment caused by industrial solvents and chemicals.

    Many cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that can affect the nervous system in different ways. Green biodegradable cleaning solutions or products do not have the same harmful effects. Implementation requires obtaining cleaning products that use natural based cleaners. Green cleaning products are identified by their labels and other products are simply every day items easily obtainable(ex. baking soda).

    Quite simply, Janitors(at least those that take their jobs seriously) make it possible for us to engage in our daily activities outside our homes. Almost every single aspect of business and commerce incorporates, to some extent, the idea that the places we visit as customers will be clean and sanitary. Customers are largely unwilling to enter business locations, commercial or otherwise, if they are littered and in general unsanitary conditions. To the extent, that our economy relies on business activity, janitors are an essential cog in the machinery of business because much of our economy(pre-pandemic) still relies on people entering clean buildings for entertainment or business.

    But trained janitors are more than just an essential part of the private business infrastructure. All government office buildings require clean and sanitary conditions to operate. Government employees cannot effectively carry on their functions in unclean or disease stricken locations. Also, members of the public cannot be expected to transact government business in unsanitary government buildings. Therefore, janitors make it possible for daily governmental functions to take place. This of course,  affects all of us, directly and indirectly.

    At Sani-Pure, https://www.ijcsa.org/Sys/PublicProfile/57430083/1668906, we understand that janitors and all persons who engage in the business of cleaning and janitorial services play an important function in our daily lives. That is why, we believe in training staff about all aspects of property cleaning and sanitation.

    First of all, I will let our clients know about it. For some customers, green cleaning is still something new, so I will try to explain why it is important, and I will introduce to them the benefits of natural cleaning ingredients.

    Next, I will switch from chemical cleaners to green cleaners. I think it is an obvious and important step when you are going to implement green cleaning products into your business. I will get rid of those harmful cleaners safely and responsibly. Next, I will get in green cleaning products. A combination of such natural ingredients as lemon juice, borax, vinegar, salt, and baking soda is very effective.

    At last, I will train staff to use green cleaning products. This step is important because if I am in charge of business and I decided to implement it, it automatically means that I am responsible for my team.

    I am sure that green cleaning companies are the future of cleaning companies because everyone understands its importance for our health and the environment.

    People's interest is growing around green cleaning products that are less harmful to individual health and the environment. Now let's talk about the detrimental effects of using everyday cleaning chemicals compared to natural green products.

    Chlorine bleach is one of the most common household products, which is toxic. It can irritate the eyes and lungs, so it is important to be careful when using such chemicals. Also, plenty of other harmful substances, such as Formaldehyde, may cause adverse health effects. It is found in household products such as permanent press fabrics, glues, paints and coatings, paper products, etc. Phthalate is also a toxic ingredient found in furniture polish; Butyl cellosolve and petroleum distillate are found in oven cleaning products; Sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide are found in drain cleaning products; Ammonia, which is poisonous when swallowed. And this is just a small list of hazardous chemicals, and that's why we need to be more careful in using such products. These chemicals are harmful not only for humans' health but for our planet too.

    Many companies now create cleaning products that use more natural ingredients, avoiding the harmful effects of toxic chemicals, which is appreciatable.

    Many natural cleaning products are not less effective than cleaning products with toxic ingredients. Effective natural cleaning products can be made from a combination of common household ingredients, such as lemon juice, borax, vinegar, conventional and electrolyzed water, salt, baking soda, vegetable-based soap, mineral oil, washing soda, and plants with high saponin levels. So as we see, using natural ingredients is the best solution if we want to avoid the environment from harmful effects.

    In conclusion, I would like to say it is obvious that we cant avoid using all toxic ingredients in household or other products, but we need to know more about such ingredients. Fortunately, many companies today switched to using natural ingredients, which is the best solution.

    I hope that soon we will minimize using dangerous chemicals and this problem will be fully solved.
