     One of the most important benefits of implementing green cleaning solutions and practices into my company has been the health of myself and my employees.

      Prior to using non-toxic alternatives, we were all occasionally ill from over exposure to chemicals in our cleaning products. Some products would make a few cough uncontrollably and wouldn't bother others. Chlorine cleaners burned our eyes and we literally had to leave the room and get some "air'. 

      After changing our practices, the business bonus benefit began. Through marketing I have discovered that there are large parts of our community that value all of the aspects of a company that strives to have a minimal negative impact on our world. Word of mouth referrals have been impressive.

      When I researched green cleaning solutions, I was afraid that I just couldn't afford to go Green. I came across Ecosense by Melaleuca at a local farmers market. I was doubly blessed when these products turned out to be very effective and 1/5th the cost of grocery store brands.

       If you wish to "Go Green', you can afford it, you can implement it. It just takes research and effort. Network with others. There is a wealth of knowledge out there.

      Did you know that you can be exposed to HIV & HBV in the custodial/ janitorial positions in the work field? You can be exposed to these bloodborne pathogens from cleaning up after vomit, cuts, nose bleeds and even diarrhea for example. Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood that can cause diseases in other humans. If proper precautions are not taken you can expose yourself and others to these deadly bloodborne pathogen viruses. 

      With Knowing that occupational exposure to the HIV & HBV bloodborne pathogens could mean the difference between life and death, proper precautions must be in place. Training, personal protective equipment (PPE), disinfectants, tools and safe cleaning practices can help keep others & yourself from being exposed to these bloodborne pathogens. Employers must provide training, PPE and vaccinations prior to any assignment at no cost to the employee.  As well as, a written exposure control plan to follow to ensure the safety for everyone involved.

      Bloodborne pathogens is very dangerous if proper techniques and procedures are not taken. Knowledge, training and proper equipment is the tools you need to create a safe working environment. By using safe cleaning practices and reacting as though each instance is potential for exposure, you can ensure that others and yourself are safe from these bloodborne pathogens.

    When considering "cleaning green", the health of myself and my employees was one of my major concerns over using traditional, harmful cleaners. We use Ecosense by Melaleuca "The Wellness Company". These essential oil, botanical cleaners are very effective, non-poisonous with zero VOCs. We use steam mops to SANITIZE floors with super heated, ordinary water. We also use SterileAire Triple HEPA filtered vacuums that even trap larger bacteria and viruses along with mites, dander and dust. In our efforts, the homes and businesses that we clean are healthier for the inhabitants, healthier for my employees and have less of a harmful impact on our Earth than traditional cleaning.

    As a small business owner in beautiful Charlotte, North Carolina I think it is imperative to our community to offer my clients a "green" alternative to meet a growing demand from the areas client base.  We are a growing metropolis and have managed to build in parks, streams and natural areas into our sprawling city.  Once folks viewed the green movement as a fad, but as many studies of harmful additives corporations are including in their household and industrial cleaners come out, the need to go green is more real than ever.  We as an industry can help spread the benefits of a green cleaning program.

    Not every business is ready to jump on board however as my dentist explained to me during a recent visit.  He told me that in his profession there is an extreme need to have effective products and that unless a "green' alternative product can offer him a minimum of 5 years of successful testing backed by major healthcare monitoring agencies that he has no interest in them.  For him, the risks are too high and he appreciates the peace of mind that the industry standards give him.  He did state however that with those 5 years of studies and at a competitive price he would like to implement those products that give him the option of being more green.

    My business provides our largest client a chance to mix in the use of vinegar and less caustic chemicals but still keep other non green products available in the rotation for certain jobs as well.  I believe that the key to implementing my green program will be communication to my clients.  When I make a listing of chemicals I plan on using on their property I also have a separate column that lists a green alternative to that chemical when available, leaving the choice to the consumer and ultimately allowing the business owner to say they made a great choice, not only in the choice of cleaning products, but with the business that is providing them with the choice.

    In general, I am very happy to provide my accounts with a chance to be a better member of the community.  When I educate my clients as to the risks of using most over the counter cleaners vs. their natural alternatives I feel that I have leveled the playing field a bit by giving them information that they don't get in the big corporation's hyped up TV ads.

This healthy lifestyle and planet saving movement  has emerged in society and we want to play a major role in it. Targeting this audience will give us the ability to play our role in not only growing our business but to contribute to helping people stay healthy.

    Many people have become aware of the risks of using chemicals in their homes and how dirty the fumes make the air quality. Chemical ingredients in common household products contain many toxins that make us sick. As a professional cleaning service we take the responsibility of providing the best all around service to our clients from working safely and efficiently. best Being Green Cleaning Certified reduces the risks that come along with "traditional" cleaning products.

    Scrub-All Cleaning is dedicated to addressing all aspects of a bona-fide green program. We use color coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination, most of our products are natural, the cleaning products that we use that are not natural are green and stored in recycled material. Our vacuum bags are green and has a 99.9% filtration efficiency. Better filtration means cleaner air and less dust.

    Cleaning services that use green cleaning solutions but do not improve air quality are not fully allowing the customer to benefit from the "green clean". Using a good, green, certified filter will reduce asthma or allergy attacks. 

    Having a green cleaning service that address the aspects of holistic green cleaning methods provide maximum health benefits to the environment and the people in it.

    Looking for a Green Cleaning Service? Over the past few decades drastic discoveries about the impact we have on the earth in regards to pollution have surfaced and these discoveries and responsibilities are continually increasing. This has sparked a growing trend of environmental awareness. Consumers expect businesses to be more environmentally responsible in both their products and business culture. Recycling and sourcing ingredients/materials that leave less of a negative environmental impact. As a business it makes sense to adopt these expectations into your business culture through and through, which is why it is important to work with a janitorial service that feels the same way.

    So when looking for a janitorial service, not only is the scope of work important, but the methods and products used as well. To ensure environmental-friendliness, seek out a Green Cleaning service. Preferably, a certified Green Cleaning service. Many varieties of Green Cleaning services exist so I would recommend looking through the IJCSA (International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association) Directory of Green Cleaning Services located here http://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services
