    Cleaning products are an essential part of maintaining any home or workplace. However, many of the well-known household cleaners contain chemicals that can harm the environment. This is a main reason as to why a consumer’s choice upon choosing a cleaning product should rely on the safety of not only humans but the environment as well. 

    For example, cleaning products that contain Volatile organic compounds can affect indoor air quality as well as contribute to the formation of smog in outdoor air. Simply changing to things such using vinegar and baking soda into your normal return can help out a bunch.

    When using harmful chemical to clean with you are not only hurting yourself but you are hurting others, pets, and the earth. There are many ways that these chemicals can be harmful to you. Glass cleaners may contain Isopropyl alcohol which can irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat, and ammonia which can irritate the skin and eyes and cause coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. All-purpose cleaners can contain 2-butoxyethanol which can cause headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness and confusion, in addition to irritating the eyes, nose, throat and mouth. Then normal bathroom cleaners may contain Sodium hypochlorite/chlorine which can severely irritate the skin; may cause eye damage, coughing or shortness of breath. This is all isn’t even including the harmful toxic chemicals that a re released into the air when these products are used.

    Green Products are the way to go for so many reason than one. By using more ecologically-friendly products, including green cleaning formulations and products, consumers may be able to reduce human health risks by reducing exposure to these and other harmful chemicals. It is helpful to the earth and can help you as an individual live a better healthy life. It can help put less smog into the air as well as having the recognition in the community for reducing resource usage and pollution. When using green products you have the satisfaction from helping to make the facility and community a better place.

Replacing toxic products and adopting to the green cleaning procedure will benefit your health now and the earths health in the long run.

    Green cleaning Can help my self and company in many ways than one. But we are not all about ourselves we want to help ourselves, the people we clean for and the environment. So in this article I will discuss how it will benefit not only myself, by my employees, clients, pets and the earth. I have a plan to implement green cleaning into every home my company cleans by not just using green cleaning products but cleaning more efficiently and reducing waste. 

    For my self and my company having the Green cleaning certification will be huge due to the fact the we use only Eco friendly chemicals in cleaning.  We do not want to continue to harm the earth nor do we went to harm anyone in our population including our fury friends. 

    Getting Green cleaning certified by IJCSA, will give myself even more knowledge on all eco friendly products and the proper ways to use them as well as create them. The other advantage for my company is that clients will now know that I understand the importance of green products my self as well as how to select and use the product. The number one advantage in my book is having your customers have trust and faith in what you’re promoting. So having this certification will give me the stamp of approval for the clients that want to have confidence in their green cleaning service.

    Good Green Cleaning program should implement more efficient cleaning practices to reduce waste and chemical use. It should also emphasize the use of environmentally friendly cleaning products.To help keep thing efficient I will train staff to use chemicals and cleaning equipment properly. Also reducing the amount of waste to maximize cleaning efficiency. Then the green cleaning in itself brings many benefits. It reduces exposure to dangerous chemicals which can be toxic. improves overall air quality by reducing chemical gases. All good for the environment by using non toxic, biodegradable chemicals.

    First, the advantage of hiring a person or company that has been certified by IJCSA is a great because the customers know they were certified by a reliable and trustworthy company. At IJCSA they prepare you for all aspects of the cleaning industry including ways to keep our customers safe and happy. They can certify a person and company with whatever is needed for that individual with ongoing ability to review their material if later forgotten. Which is great knowing a cleaning person or company is always reviewing their cleaning details. This is all able to be done because of being certified by IJCSA.

    Further, I will discuss what is learned in these courses and why they are helpful to you as someone that is hiring a cleaning service. This will explain the advantage you get when hiring a IJCSA certified person or company.

    When hiring us you will first develop a healthier air quality. This is because we will clean all of the areas that you may not have realized is causing poor air quality. This will done by dusting and cleaning, allergens and pet dander that builds up over time.

    Bringing in certified people with the right equipment is huge for a better clean. WE clean with a passion and a reassurance from our course work and studies that we clean the best and you will see it in the cleaning of a sparkly bathroom due to our detailed cleanings. WE get the nooks and crannies and baseboards. 

    AND the best of it all you get your time and savings. Who doesn't like coming home to a clean house and you didn't have to put any effort into. While also being confident that it was going to be clean to your exact liking upon your arrival. Who also doesn't like having more time on their hands because I know there's not many people out there like us that actually like coming home and cleaning.

    Great customer service is knowing your customer's needs and performing their jobs professionally.  Janitorial personnel often make the difference in a satisfied client and a lost customer. 

    The IJCSA and its members do a wonderful job of training and certification. Customer service is a top priority, but not just customer service, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Prospective clients should be aware of the IJCSA Business Directory  and how to access it

These diseases when present in human blood and body fluids are known as blood borne pathogens, and can spread from one person to another.The most serious types of blood borne diseases are the hepatitis B and hepatitis C , which can cause liver damage; and HIV, which is responsible for causing AIDS. 
    Bloodborne pathogens training is essential for all personnel who work with or around potentially harmful things (including blood) and environments on a regular basis. Bloodborne pathogen certification is vitally important for protecting the safety and health of professionals. doing these training assigned by your employer ensures employees are qualified to work in this specialized environment.
    According to OSHA, it is against regulations for employers to send workers into a hazardous environment, without the proper preparation and training.
