    When you start a cleaning company you believe you are competent and know how to clean a carpet and the only thing you need is to buy a carpet cleaning machine and that's it. You even underestimate the situation. you buy a home cleaner machine instead a strong one and this is the formula for failure.

    The day arrived of your first job and the problems appears:  different types of stains, the machine leave tha carpet very wet, customer complains, it takes more time than estimated, and so on. You are worried, you do not know what to do, you need help so you call friends, watch a few you tube videos and implement some solution. if you are lucky problem solved but in a very stressfull situation.

    Once some one told me that an intelligent person is the one that learns from their mistakes but a wise person is the one that learns from others mistakes...BE WISE BY BEING CERTIFICATED IN CARPET CLEANING AND BECOME SUCCESFULL.

    One of the most important benefits of being Green Clean certified is how I have learned about the lasting effects it has on our planet. Using all the other chemicals with all of their toxins, I never realized every time we use them the toxins are released into the air and our water. We are making our planet worse everytime we contribute to these harsh chemicals.

    I now have the knowledge of what chemicals to look for. I know there are certain chemicals you just don't mix whatsoever! And having a cleaning business, I can educate others on helping take part in the Green Clean system and preventing people from becoming sick from the cleaning chemicals they were previously using. Our job is to help take part in creating a safe environment for all the employees. 

    Did you know that using conventional cleaning products have been associated with a host of health problems such as damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. And all of that can happen just by the chemicals lingering in the air for too long. Most of the green clean products are made using sustainable practices, are naturally derived, safe, non-toxic and biodegradable. This speaks volumes to the  community. 

    So by switching over to Green Clean, I have taken a vote to protect the environment, so to speak. You too, would be setting an example to others around you if you decide too take this seriously as well.

    Here at IJCSA, it is our duty to make sure our customers/clients are fully satisfied. We want to provide you with an opportunity to look forward to walking into your place of employment, not just because it's your job or it's A means to providing.. But because there is a sense of freshness like no other.. A sense of "clean."

    What is Green Cleaning and why is it a good choice? Green clean is the process of choosing better products that are better for both people and the planet. It is good for the health and well-being of your people, and it also prevents unnecessary chemicals from being released into the environment.

    They tend to be a little more costly then what is typically used, however, they are biodegradable and eco-friendly. Whenever a product is environmentally friendly, you can't put a price on one's health nor the environment. If you ask me, green clean saves lives, who would not want to take part in that?!

    What if I were to tell you there are cleaning products that are not only good for the health and well-being of your employees, but they also prevent unnecessary chemicals from being released into the environment! Ever hear of Green Cleaning? Well my company uses nothing but these products. We have decided to use products that are better for both people and the planet.

    Most cleaning products people tend to use are often overlooked. Slot of times people don't realize how they affect your overall health. They can have negative impacts including, contributing to asthma, cancer, and even increased birth defects! Don't underestimate the impact that removing these toxins and switching over to all natural cleaning can have on improving one's health.

    Holding a Green Cleaning certificate is a huge asset for my company and my clients. A Green Cleaning certificate guarantees to my staff and customers that I’m committed to conduct safe cleaning practices. Furthermore, it shows that I follow innovative and sustainable practices in the communities I serve. By practicing Green cleaning, I am also committed to protecting the environment. It also shows that I am committed to my company’s professional growth and commitment to higher standards of cleaning to my customers.

    Old practices of cleaning where cleaning chemicals were used to keep our homes and workplaces clean for our health, are no longer needed or valid. Many cleaning chemicals even though are advertised as “green” cleaning products may contain ingredients that are harmful to our health and environment. This list of ingredients includes chlorine, benzalkonium chloride, benzene, dioxane, and fluoride. A cleaning company that has been certified in the art of Green Cleaning can avoid using these products and protect their customers and the environment; whereas uncertified cleaning companies can cause many damages to the communities they serve without their knowledge.

    Holding a Green Cleaning certification shows that my company is committed to the well being of my community and environment, it also shows that we continuously bring great value to our customers. It also shows to our customers who we are, and how it is to work with us. It builds rapport and trust, and it shows that we really care about the well being of our customers and our planet. It proves that we constantly are trying to learn something new, innovative and sustainable, and that we are always committed to keep our practices modern.

    Obtaining a Green Cleaning Certificate is a big deal for my company, and I want to make sure that the material we are studying is accurate and applicable to modern standards. There are many companies and organizations out there that claim they provide a Green Cleaning Certification, but few are distinguished such as the IJCSA with their four core values: to promote professionalism, ethics, education, and training on cleaning. These core values are passed down to their members. When you’re working with a member of the IJCSA you know that you are dealing with professionals who are trained in Green Cleaning, properly trained in the latest cleaning trends, and their customer service is a match to no other. If you are looking to work with a cleaning company that holds a certificate of Green Cleaning from the IJCSA, just simply click right here and you are one step away from your peace of mind!

    Implementation of Medical Cleaning procedures are all available to every Janitorial company. We just have to have people that care to do the right thing! 

    Integrity is an important issue in providing janitorial services. I will now list some best practices. Which we can all learn and grow from:

    The following best practices for environmental cleaning in resource-limited settings are proposed as a standard reference and a resource to:

    • Supplement existing guidelines

    • Inform the development of guidelines where needed

    • Elevate the attention to this critical and under-resourced aspect of healthcare and patient safety

    These best practices were developed by a committee of experts in environmental cleaning in resource-limited settings. Using a consensus-driven process, we have included the best practices most relevant and achievable for the target context.

    Let’s all try our very best to use them wisely in preventing the upsurge of a worsening pandemic at the heels of our world.

    Cleaning is essential to keep our homes, schools, and workplaces healthy. However, we must be mindful cleaning can have harmful effects on people the environment we live in. This is because some cleaning products include harmful chemicals. Even though some products are advertised as “green” products, some contain ingredients that can cause problems to our health and can cause damage to our environment. In addition, some cleaning products can be highly flammable or corrosive. To reduce exposure and risk your health, make sure you read the labels of your cleaning products, and be able to identify the harmful ingredients. Below are some examples of chemicals that can harm our planet and health.

    As discussed previously, cleaning is important to our health, but we must be vigilant on which ones we use. Not all cleaning chemicals are safe for us and our environment. For example, some disinfectant cleaners and hand disinfectants include the ingredient of Benzalkonium chloride. This chemical is biologically active and can help the creation of new strains of bacteria that can harm our health. In addition, some spray cleaners and abrasive cleaners use ingredients such as Butyl cellosolve. This toxic synthetic solvent can irritate mucous membranes and can cause damage to the liver, kidney and to our nervous system. Another ingredient that is most widely poplar that has disastrous results on our health is chlorine. Poising from chlorine is one of the most common mistakes in US households. Furthermore, some cleaning chemicals include artificial fragrances to provide a pleasant smell in the areas that they are applied. However, few know that artificial fragrances are made from petroleum. These fragrances do not dissolve in our environment and have toxic affects on fish and mammals.

    The list goes can go on and on, but I wanted to bring attention to the disastrous effects of ignoring cleaning chemicals. Always remember, when you go to the supermarket or to your current cleaning distributor to pick up supplies, check the labels. Make sure that the cleaning chemicals you purchase do not carry any harmful ingredients that might impair your health or harm our environment. After all, we put a great effort to clean our homes and workplaces for our own health, we should equally put the same effort to keep our planet clean.
