    Janitors and Janitorial Staff are critical to our daily lives, especially when it comes to the cleanliness of the public areas that we utilize.  They can help the organization run smoothly if they are efficient, or unfortunately harm operations if they are not efficient or unqualified.  They are so critical that in fact they have been deemed as part of the "school family" when onsite at schools and universities.  The cleaning and maintenance of the building is determined by these individuals that make our lives that much easier to maneuver in clean and healthy environment.

    Communication is key to help run a tight ship when it comes to keeping the building or spaces clean.  This can be achieved through logs, work orders and special requests.  These professionals are responsible in lots of instances for opening up a building and so they are given special keys and codes for entry.  For the use of the building or space, this is essential to have a responsible do this.  But along with having keys and codes, the staff is also charged with making sure everything is in place before the business actually opens up.  These professionals must survey and serve the facility and grounds all through the day in certain cases where custodial staff is available and onsite during business hours.

    Maintenance and cleanliness protocols achieved by janitors and janitorial allow those individuals utilizing the space to be comfortable and cared for when it comes to various functions.  Janitors are responsible for stocking bathroom supplies such as toilet tissue, hand soap, and toilet liners which are very necessary on a day to day basis.  Another area the janitors make our daily lives better would be in keeping the overall area clean as well as keeping the cafeteria or floor and lobby areas clean.  Special requests from the client which would be staff members or even children that use the space are also fulfilled by the janitorial staff on an immediate basis which also allow us to be able to function while utilizing the space.

    We are grateful for amazing janitors and the janitorial staff members that are so crucial to our lives.  To find one of these professionals in your area, please click on the link below:

    Finding a reputable cleaning company that is committed to providing reasonably priced residential and commercial cleaning services might be difficult.  Customers should look for cleaning services that will collaborate with them to customize their cleaning schedule to fit their budget, making it simpler than ever to maintain a pristine house without going over budget.

    You may maintain a pristine atmosphere and free up more time in your busy schedule by hiring a professional cleaning company to come in for a routine cleaning or a one-time comprehensive clean. Despite the wide range of alternatives available, choosing the ideal cleaning service for your home, your family, and yourself is not a one-size-fits-all undertaking.

    Since every cleaning project has a unique scope of work, it's important to consider the services a given firm provides before making a reservation.  When choosing the best cleaning service for you, consider the kinds of tools and supplies that the business employs. For example, if you are concerned about environmental impact, you might ask the firm if they utilize eco-friendly cleaning supplies. Even more environmentally friendly services are available from some providers. https://www.ijcsa.org/House-Cleaning-Services

Implementing regular inspections and cleaning schedules can prevent mold from taking hold and minimize the need for costly remediation down the line. Investing in proper training for staff members or hiring specialized professionals ensures effective mold removal techniques are employed.

    Below are four reasons you should consider a certified commercial cleaner

    1) Education- they know what they are doing. The education requirement to become a IJCSA certified residential cleaner is quite a bit for most people.  This education is easier for some than others is focused around chemical safety, heath considerations, proper PPE and knowing when to use certain techniques to give a show room finish.

    2) Chemical Safety Chemical safety is paramount to an IJCSA member's ability to serve the customer.  The key advantage to the IJSCA is the information on green cleaning approaches and the consideration of the environment when cleaning.  Everyone is capable of cleaning, but are they capable of leaving a safer environment when they are done?

    3) Consistent Approach - Attention to Detail Because the training of the IJSCA is so detailed, you are able to know the cleaner has been trained on the little things.  The bottom of the refrigerator is an often overlooked area.  Another is the sliding glass door.  These ares are left in a condition that you know attention was paid, and a checklist was followed thoroughly.

    4) Ability to Solve Problems

    IJCSA members have a unique ability to solve problems faced by the day to day activies.  For instance a residential cleaner will have knowledge of carpet cleaning solutions.  In many cases, the cleaner can help you set up an appointment and give you ideas on how to deal with an issue before it escalates into a much bigger issue.

    The IJCSA is a group of people committed to making indoor air quality better by using safe chemistries, reducing pathogens and dust.  While improving the overall quality of life for folks by providing a clean environment.  We will strive to ensure you are happy with our service, we will continue to work with our partner companies to improve the service, and if you have any suggestions for improvement we would be glad to hear about how we can improve.

    It is important for cleaning employees to be aware of bloodborne pathogens and the risks that come from them. But first we need to understand what they are. Bloodborne pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms in human blood which include HBV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

    It's essential for employers to have knowledge on the procedures that are used to be cautious to help prevent the spread of bloodborne pathogens. One way could be by taking special training classes to increase their knowledge on precautions they can take. Without these training classes the employees could be at risk of getting infected if the proper measures aren't taken.

    In conclusion following the right steps when dealing with body fluids/ blood could prevent life threatening diseases in the workplace.

    Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms that are transmitted by blood. For example, HIV and hepatitis B (and many others) are bloodborne pathogens. These diseases are transmitted through infected body fluids that enter the bloodstream of an uninfected person. Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted through infected body fluids that enter the bloodstream. HIV and HBV can pose serious, long-term health risks or even death if someone comes into contact with them.

    These pathogens can be transmitted in several ways. The most common ways of transmission are needlesticks, cuts, bites from humans, and mucous membranes. For example, if you are taking out the trash and come in contact with a dirty or used needle, you may come in contact with a bloodborne pathogen. Or you may need to mop up bodily fluids, and splashes can come in contact with your mucous membranes or contaminate a small tear in your skin. Any cleaning job where you come in contact with blood or other body fluids puts you at risk for spreading bloodborne pathogens. All in all, you should always assume that all body fluids you come into contact with are contaminated. This is called universal precautions. Therefore training on bloodborne pathogens is required for proper cleaning.

    OSHA has developed training on bloodborne pathogens that explains how to clean body fluids, what personal protective equipment to wear when cleaning body fluids, how to properly clean and dispose of body fluids, and what else to look for in this area. For example, gloves, goggles and possibly a face mask are essential for your own protection from contamination. Thorough hand washing after an exposure is also among the important protective measures. In addition, any contamination waste generated must be specially labeled and disposed of separately, for example in different colored waste bags (red or orange).

    Cleaning services and training on bloodborne pathogens are essential to keeping our environment safe for everyone. Every cleaner should complete training on bloodborne pathogens, as it is necessary for the proper performance of the job. Employers should provide access to this training free of charge during working hours. This training is one of the most important experiences a janitor or cleaner needs to have, especially, but not only, if they work in a hospital. The CDC reported that approximately 5.6 million healthcare and janitorial service workers are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. If you can clean and dispose of body fluids before a bloodborne pathogen can spread, you can save lives!

    Healthcare facilities required special steps and procedures to clean and disinfect due to the high risk of contamination from harmful pathogens such as germs, bacteria, and viruses. How can we implement the same procedures to other areas of janitorial services? And how can we be the fore front against the spreading of diseases from these microorganisms?

    Medical cleaning training procedures are effective in high risk areas where germs and viruses are present. The use of PPE and appropriate cleaning and disinfecting techniques are very important to avoid direct or indirect contact with pathogens. The same procedures could be utilize for residential and commercial cleaning to achieve better results for your own company and customers.

    Cleaning methods use in health care facilities can be apply in residential cleaning. For instance, high touch areas should be disinfected in the same manner medical institutions do, as well as bathrooms and kitchen. When it comes to commercial cleaning, the same procedures for health care facilities should be use. In commercial settings high traffic areas like floors and carpets should be disinfected in a daily basis. Items like phones, computers key boards, hand rails and door knobs are a breeding ground for viruses.

    Protecting our environment wheatear is home or business from harmful pathogens is essential for a good standard of living. Cleaning and disinfecting is a good habit and should always be exercised in a daily basis. As of right now, with the recent covid-19 pandemic we are aware of how important disinfecting is and how keeping a good habit of cleanliness have a positive impact in our lives.
