At ADM we plan to implement a carpet cleaning program into our business to make sure we achieve the best level of cleaning possible. It is very important to our business to address all of our clients' concerns, and that includes carpet cleaning services.

Carpet flooring installation has increased due to the harsh winter months we experience in the state of Ma. It is important that we are trained and understand the types of carpets and how to properly clean and maintain their life spam.

Our company is well known for its trained cleaning professionals. IJCSA has played a great impact on that. The helpful videos and information available to myself and my Team made it easy to stay up to date on cleaning techniques that are safe for both our professional cleaners and clients.

Janitorial and cleaning services employees should be aware of the dangers of bloodborne pathogens.  These pathogens may contain hepatitis B and/or HIV.  Certain procedures must be followed to protect yourself.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn when cleaning in an area where there is a risk of bloodborne pathogens.  PPE includes gowns, gloves and goggles. Hand washing is also a  critical step in protecting yourself.

When handling contaminated laundry, sharp objects and trash, certain protocols must be followed.  Laundry must be placed in a bag labeled or color coded.  All sharp objects must be put into a sharps container that this labeled and handles only sharp objects.  Trash should not be compressed and always handled as if there was blood inside.  

Proper focus on ensuring that customers are satisfied is essential in any business, and this is certainty true for cleaning companies as well. Cleaning and janitorial companies have both the potential to lose or gain clients based on the level of attention paid to customer service. A satisfied customer is likely to refer more business to a a company that is attentive to their needs while the opposite is true for a dissatisfied client. The key to good customer service is to be as attentive to the customer's needs as possible- the more the client feels that their issues or concerns are being listened to and addressed, the happier they will be. 

A huge advantage to a customer hiring a cleaning specialist through the IJCSA is that all companies place a huge emphasis on customer service.

"Why Is Properly Cleaning Healthcare Facilities So Important" 

There are at least 3 reasons why properly cleaning healthcare facilities is so important.  The primary reason is to keep individuals (patients, residents, staff, visitors) as healthy as possible.  To ensure the cleaning industry follows specific guidelines to reduce the risk of transferring infectious matter.  This is not a fail-proof method, because unless rooms and equipment are disinfected continuously throughout the day – infectious matter can easily be spread.  Unless visitors and staff wear protective wear, they too can inadvertently transfer infectious matter.

Example: a room has just been cleaned and sanitized or the restroom has been disinfected.  A visitor or the patient/resident coughs or sneezes without covering their mouth or into their hand(s).  Infectious matter can now be spread unknowingly through touching (bedding material, remote control, flooring, coffee cup, shaking hand, fist bump, etc.) https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices

A secondary reason is the cost associated with additional sickness caused by the transfer of infectious matter.  “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately 1 in 20 patients will acquire an infection during a stay in a healthcare setting where they are receiving medical or surgical treatment. These healthcare-associated infections (HAI) result in nearly $33 billion dollars in preventable healthcare costs per year.

With Medicare and Medicaid payments now tied to how well healthcare providers protect patients from hospital-acquired infections, reducing HAIs has become an even larger priority for healthcare facilities.”

A tertiary reason, is physical appearance.  If a room/area is not kept in clean and organized manner, it can become challenging to identify possible hazards, such as, spills on flooring, frayed carpet, or electrical cords running under carpets/rugs.  These can cause unintended slips or falls causing injury to patient, visitor, staff or contractor.

   It is essential as an employee or as a staff member to be proactive towards safety when dealing with blood clean up. If not, it may cost you your life.

   Blood borne pathogens are microorganisms in the blood. Not all blood is contaminated. This is why as a cleaning professional we assume all blood may be contaminated. The blood may be contaminated with hepatitis or HIV. Either could be life threatening. 

 When dealing with blood clean up it's best to follow OSHA clean up guidelines. First is having the proper protective gear.  Protecting eyes, nose and mouth area and gloves for the hands.  Proper disposal of linens and cleaning utensils, rags or mops is a must.  Last is disinfecting the affected area and disinfecting any mops, buckets or any other cleaning tools.  

Every employer is required by OSHA to have a written exposure plan and to keep records of each incident for a minimum of three years.  For more information contact your local OSHA for more details.

So remember, safety first when it comes to blood clean up and blood borne pathogen exposure.

We have heard a lot in recent times about how green cleaning is important.  What does it really mean to be a "Green Cleaning Service"? There are many advantages to hiring a Green Cleaning Service.  In the forefront are air quality, health, safety, and environmental impact. Studies have shown green cleaning in the workplace improves productivity as much as 10% due to less sick days.

The US Environmental Protection Agency tells us that indoor air pollution is up to ten times more harmful than outdoor air pollution.  What this means is health issues could very well be a result of your indoor air quality.  By using a certified green cleaning company you are helping protect families, pets, workmates, and our employees from such harmful indoor air pollution creating a healthier surrounding.  Green cleaning practices such as using HEPA filtration in cleaning equipment, using non-toxic chemicals, and practicing certified green cleaning procedures will improve indoor air quality at home and in the workplace.

Safety is a concern when using many typical household cleaners.  A typical household cleaner contains many harmful chemicals such as ammonia, bleach, and phenol.  These are all substances that would be harmful to your to children and pets if ingested.  These harmful chemicals when used pollute air quality and leave a toxic residue on surfaces creating a harmful environment.  Eliminate the safety risk of toxic hazards to your surroundings by going green with our certified green cleaning company.  Certified green cleaning specialists understand the risk of using toxic chemicals to themselves as well as the people they serve.  They know which eco-friendly products to use to clean efficiently, cost-effectively, and safely.

There are many benefits to hiring our certified green cleaning company.  Cleaning your home or business the eco-friendly way is a great choice.  The price of certified green cleaning is very cost effective and is well worth  it.  Help keep yourself, our cleaning specialists, and those around you safe and healthy while making an impact on the environment we live with a certified green cleaning specialist.

History has shown many believe cleaning with your typical household cleaners to be the best way to rid your environment of germs, dirt and bacteria.  While this is true in some forms, what are the risks of using your mom's typical cleaning products in your surroundings to clean?  How hazardous are these cleaning chemicals to your health and the environment?

Studies have shown that substances in your typical house hold cleaning products include fragrances, glycol ethers, surfactants, chlorine, solvents, harmful metals, and many other substances that are extremely hazardous to your health and the environment.  Recent studies have shown such chemicals to cause asthma, skin irritation, and are even carcinogenic causing a host of health problems.  As an example chlorine used in many household cleaners reacts with organic materials in the environment to create hazardous and carcinogenic toxins which have been known to cause reproductive, endocrine, and immune system disorders.

In addition to severe health risks to people and pets is the harmful affects it has on the environment.  Chlorinated compounds are a prime cause of atmospheric ozone loss making it a harmful substance for our environment.  The question now becomes not just how clean we want our surroundings to be, but how healthy we want ourselves and the environment to be.  Do we want to just rid ourselves of germs and bacteria, or hazardous toxins harming our health and environment too
