It is very important when advertising for your business as a residential cleaner that you are very cautious about giving any misleading signs that you are there for more than just cleaning. When meeting with a new client you should dress accordingly and stay professional. While working you should always have your keys and phone on you just in case something happens.

As a residential home cleaner you should always make sure that you respect your clients home. No matter what you find or where you find you should always remember that it is property of the homeowners. You should also remember that no before or after pictures should be taken unless the homeowner agrees. 

Have you ever felt like you just spent money for something undeserving of the price paid? Or, maybe you have felt like this is the only supplier that offers the service you need so you are forced to purchase from them.

What are bloodborne pathogens? Bloodborne pathogens are viruses or diseases that can be transmitted through the blood stream or bodily fluids. You can also transfer these infections by touching your eyes, nose or mouth which many are not aware of. How this can happen in the workplace is if you are handling needles or sharp objects that were previously used by a patient or client and not being properly disposed, or by touching a contaminated surface. You can transfer these diseases easily if not taking the proper precautions provided by OSHA or your individual workplace.

There are several types of bloodborne diseases or viruses that are out there but two are most common which are Hepatitis B and HIV (Human Immune Deficiency). Hepatitis B is a much more persistent virus than HIV and survive for up to a week in dried blood on hard surfaces and even fabric surfaces. However, HIV could not survive no longer than a few minutes once its exposed to air at room temperature. As you know now, each one is different in its contamination period but, this is why it is important for the people who clean to properly do their job so no one will get infected or make it possible for the virus to spread.

It is important to also be properly trained for cleaning contaminated surfaces and disposal of items because these diseases or viruses are not visible to the human eye. They also take time to accumulate any symptoms if infected, all bloodborne pathogens are dangerous to your health. If you think you are infected contact a health professional as soon as possible. You can easily infect a loved one or a friend if you're not cautious. Be aware of what you're handling at all times.

The green cleaning product that I have used is Seventh Generations and Meyers. I love the way both of them clean, they get all the dirt and scums off surfaces, and the smell is just wonderful and fresh. These products are wonderful especially with my daughter having allergies and health problems I am able to choose from a variety of those products dealing with that.

How being Green Certified will benefit my company is that it would be very helpful for my residential and commercial clients, especially my workers. They come in contact with these products almost every hour and everyday, we want to make sure they well knowledgeable about any cleaning products that we use or what can be good or bad. Using these green products in homes could go along way for the families, without having them to wait to cause we used chemicals that are loud.

Being Green Cleaning Certified, you will have all the knowledge products and chemicals used in the products. You will have the knowledge and tools to know which chemicals are bad to mix together, because it could be harmful or dangerous. We want to keep everyone that is around safe and healthy.

For years, I have used those loud chemical products which I found out the effects it could have first hand. I experienced chest pains a lot, even when i worked for a cleaning company they used those loud products. So I switched to green cleaning products within in my home especially with having a daughter with allergies and health problems. Getting this certification for my business would mean a change for my clients also, whom ever that would like to switch over.
