    Finding a reputable home cleaning service can be as easy as conducting a search through a trusted organization like IJCSA. There are a few key points a customer should use in order to find the right service for them.

    First, Interview the housekeeping or maid serviceYour going to want to be comfortable having them in your home. Ask for a background check. This will ensure you have a trust worthy person working for you.

    Ask about rates. See if the services you need are within your budget. Establish clear expectations. Be specific about your needs so that a fair price can be established. Get the house ready. This means putting away anything of value or is very fragile or easily broken if moved. 

    Ask about cleaning supplies. Ask whether you have to supply anything or ask what cleaning supplies they will use and if you may be affected by any of the chemicals they use. Lastly, ask if they're green. This means they use cleaning supplies or chemicals that are safe for the environment or safe to use around children and pets.

    Follow these simple steps and you are sure to find just the right cleaning service for you.

    Because proper cleaning of medical facilities is critical to the health and well being of so many people, it only makes sense to use the same cleaning practices in homes and other facilities. 

    Medical facility cleaning typically uses stronger disinfectants applied in a more thorough method than is typically used in standard cleaning practices. These same procedures and chemicals can be just as easily used in all cleaning situations. If medical facility cleaning procedures are widely used in all homes and buildings, it will provide a healthier living and work environment for everyone. By doing this, it will protect more people from contracting and spreading harmful diseases and viruses to others they may come in contact with in their daily lives. 

    It starts with choosing the correct chemical and then properly applying it, being aware of proper dwell time in order to kill viruses and germs on surfaces. Also, be aware of all high touch areas in the home or building being cleaned, and make sure these surfaces are correctly cleaned and disinfected, just as if you are cleaning a medical facility.

    By following proper medical cleaning practices wherever you are cleaning, you can assure the health and well being of all who live or work in the building that is being cleaned. It is important to find properly trained cleaners, and this can be accomplished through the Janitorial Service Directory

    The purpose of the Health and Safety policies and procedures is to guide and direct all employees to work safely and prevent injury, to themselves and others. All employees should be encouraged to participate in developing, implementing, and enforcing Health and Safety policies and procedures. 

    The safety and well-being of our employees is our number one priority. Our employees represent us and are the face of our companies. We strive to ensure that our teams have a safe and clean environment in which to work.

    Awareness and education followed by safe operating policies, guidelines, and procedures can ensure that all of us stay safe at work. Following basic safety principles keep us all safe and ensure that we can all work together to ensure our safety and health is not compromised at work.

    Bloodborne pathogens are an ever-present risk. Risk management best practices and risk treatment methodologies guide us to minimize risks by taking precautions to limit our exposure to known risks.

    Bloodborne pathogens are infectious diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) that may be present in blood, vomit, or saliva. Blood, vomit, and saliva can transmit infectious diseases. Bloodborne pathogens most commonly enter the human body through the mucus membrane or skin breaks such as cuts or sores.

    By educating and informing employees about the risk and dangers associated with bloodborne pathogens, we increase awareness with the goal of maintaining a safe working environment.

    It is vital that cleaning employees and staff know about bloodborne pathogens for many reasons. Having the right knowledge and attitude towards bloodborne pathogens ensures all employees take universal precautions to protect themselves and those around them. Cleaning employees and staff are at a particularly increased risk of being exposed to these sorts of pathogens. As an employer, the health of employees and customers alike is of the utmost importance. Making certain that employees are properly educated about bloodborne pathogens is the first step in ensuring everyone’s safety.

    Bloodborne pathogens are disease-causing organisms that can be present in human blood and body fluids. They are microscopic, and therefore it is impossible to know whether any bodily fluids are contaminated or not. Employees and cleaning staff must be aware of this so that they can protect themselves; if responding to any situation in which they may come into contact with body fluids, they must take proper precautions, including using personal protective equipment. As an employer, it is of utmost importance to develop an Exposure Control Plan to assist employees in knowing what the proper steps to take are should they ever be exposed to bloodborne pathogens.

    Mindset is the most important aspect when it comes to safety. Those who are properly educated about the risks of bloodborne pathogens will take the proper precautions to protect themselves. As an employer, making sure that your employees are aware of proper procedures regarding bloodborne pathogens can help keep everyone safe.
