    I plan to implement a mold cleaning operation into my company by learning everything I can about mold inspection and remediation. I know it would be a profitable venture for my company and a service many people need. I will train all employees who will be working on mold remediation to the bst of my ability, I will also require workers do the IJCSA certification as well.

    Some benefits of having a mold remediation program are, that it can me a lucrative venture, it can put my company into another marketing category, also someone who would use mold remediaton might use my other services as well. I also believe that the more certification my company has the more professional and dedicated we appear as well.

     We are just launching our company so it will be relatively easy to implement green cleaning standards into our company. We will not have to retrain employees or change out products as we will be starting green. I am planning on getting my green certification so I can train all of our employees on green cleaning practices. I will purchase all green and eco friendly products and make sure they are used appropriately.  

     There are many benefits to being a green certified company. I think the biggest benefit is knowing that I am doing my due diligence to keeping myself, my employees, clients and the environment healthy. I also believe that a lot of people find green products and services very appealing. I believe it is a certification that sets cleaning companies apart as some people will only employ green companies. It is also a good selling point to clients with small children and pets.

        Customer service in the cleaning and janitorial industry usually starts with phone interaction with clients. Phones should be answered in a professional manner, with an appropriate greeting so the customer knows whom they are speaking with and get a good feeling right out of the gate. Upon meeting with clients a professional and neat appearance shows you are a serious company and that you value your clients. Clients should always feel that they are getting a good finished product. If a client is unhappy, it is very important that those concerns are addressed promptly and respectfully.

           The first meeting with a client to consult with them on their needs for the specific job at hand should be professional. The client should have your undivided attention. Clients are going to hire someone because their time is valuable and they need someone to help with a task they cannot set aside time to accomplish. As a industry professional this respect is shown by always being on time, cleaning with good time management and always returning calls in a timely manner. Making every client feel as if they are your first priority is not only good customer service it is also good business practice.

    Choosing a Green Cleaning Service for Your Business or Home

    If you are like most of us these days, you’re conscientious about the quality and healthfulness of the food you put into your body. But why not be equally concerned about what you put into your indoor environment?

    Our modern world provides far too many unwelcomed opportunities for us to be exposed to dangerous chemicals and pollutants, but the cleaning supplies used in your home shouldn’t be one of them.

    Eco-friendly cleaning products are sustainably sourced, contain less of the VOCs that can irritate asthma and allergies, and are non-toxic and biodegradable.

    Make sure your business or home cleaning service is certified as a Green Cleaning Provider.

    Find a Certified Green Cleaning Service near you on the IJCSA website today.

    Implementing a green cleaning program at URBAN URBANE

    Since I am the sole-proprietor and only employee of my cleaning business, and since I do all the product selection and purchasing, it will not be at all difficult for me to implement a green cleaning program for URBAN URBANE.

    I have actually been interested in environmental and conservation issues since I was a child. I can recall being bothered by litter and pollution as far back as elementary school, and I have been an active recycler almost continuously since college.

    I have had the opportunity to try a good number of green or eco-friendly cleaning products since I started my business in 2012 – and with mixed results. Some I have been very happy with – and others not so much. But I continue to keep an open mind. I regularly purchase, use, and evaluate the performance of various green products when I have an appropriate occasion to do so.

    I read labels, look up ingredients, and read material safety data sheets. I consider the product’s claims, and I contact suppliers to ask questions about their products when necessary. While I do not think that green products are always the best choice for every job, I do find them to be more than adequate for maintenance cleaning.

    While I have not yet finalized my green cleaning program for URBAN URBANE, I think I am likely to offer both a strict all-green cleaning option for those clients who really want it, and a slightly more flexible option for those who want green products used most of the time, but who are open to more traditional products when the need arises.

    To green or not to green, is that your question? It seems everyone today is "going" green or wanting to save the environment. Which isn't bad, but how do we know if they actually are? How do we know we aren't being greenwashed, being lied to about green cleaning practices? The International Janitorial Cleaning Service Association (IJCSA) provides current Green Cleaning practices and policies for its members.

    IJSCA Green Certified members provide the best, most current service to customers who are looking to reduce chemical contaminants and switch to environmentally friendly cleaning solutions for their home. 

    Is it Recyclable or Biodegradable?

    Do you want to know if a product is biodegradable, or if the packaging is recyclable? Certified members know the answers to these and many more questions to their products and those products you have in home. They can even help you identify a VOC or volatile organic compound, which are solvents and other compounds that evaporate into the air and contribute to the formation of smog (ozone), gasoline being the best example.
