    When it comes to hospitals and other healthcare facilities, there are a lot more germs and potential illnesses floating around than the typical business. This means the janitors and other cleaning personnel need to be properly trained and certified to handle these more risky cleaning situations. With the correct knowledge of bloodborne pathogens, cleaning materials/chemicals, and how to stay safe, cleaning personnel can peacefully clean the facility while keeping everyone safe and healthy.

    Without the knowledge of diseases and how to prevent the spread of them, workers in healthcare wouldn't be able to do their jobs properly. Illnesses and diseases can spread from person to person extremely quick if not dealt with right away. With educated janitors cleaning, healthcare workers can help their patients without the worry of potential diseases spreading everywhere. There are a multitude of instances in healthcare everyday, where disease and germs have the potential to spread throughout the workplace and infect everyone.

    Fortunately, healthcare facilities have trained cleaning staff that have the proper knowledge of preventing the spread of diseases. Janitors must know how to safely clean up blood, vomit, and other numerous bodily fluids that have the potential to infect someone else. They must also be educated on how to clean isolated patients rooms as well as immunocompromised patients without spreading any germs/illnesses between rooms. Healthcare janitors must be properly educated on all things regarding medical cleaning such as disposal of sharps, disposal of toxic waste, and prevention of disease spreading. IJCSA offers extensive training for this which is highly recommended before you start your healthcare cleaning career.

    It is important for employees and cleaning staff to understand what bloodborne pathogens are so that they can properly clean them while staying safe. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that are present in human blood, vomit, saliva and other bodily fluids. When handling these fluids, it is important for all employees to treat them as if they are potentially infectious to reduce the chances of exposure to the diseases they can cause. 

    When coming into contact with these bodily fluids, employees must follow company protocol for proper cleanup and disposal methods. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn at all times when handling these fluids. This includes disposable gloves, protective eyewear, a disposable face mask and a disposable apron. These items will ensure that any possible bloodborne pathogens will not come into contact with the employees nose, mouth or any breaks in the skin. The appropriate cleaning solutions should be used for each fluid and cleanup should be done carefully to prevent splashing of any fluids. Once cleanup is complete, all rags and PPE used should be disposed of in a properly labeled trash bin (red or orange in color) to notify others that the materials in the trash are hazardous. Employees must immediately wash their hands after cleaning these fluids. 

    It is important to follow these steps to prevent exposure for both oneself and other employees when handling these fluids. Employees also need to know what to do in the event of a potential exposure to these pathogens. Employees should seek out their supervisor immediately and inform them of their potential exposure to these pathogens. Their supervisor will follow the company’s exposure control plan so that the employee can seek the proper treatment for any potential exposure. Knowledge in bloodborne pathogens is crucial for all employees so that both proper cleanup methods and exposure prevention are used whenever these pathogens are encountered. 

    In the cleaning industry, it is crucial for employees and staff to have guidelines and protocols when dealing with bloodborne pathogens. Providing extensive knowledge to all staff can help avoid and prevent serious and life threatening injuries. Studies show that as many as one-third of all sharps injuries occur during disposal. Accidents are bound to happen, and in situations of an emergency, following a bloodborne pathogen exposure incident protocol can be a determining factor of life or death. Post-exposure management is an integral part of a complete program for preventing infection following exposure incidents. Educating all employees and staff on what bloodborne pathogens are and providing clear and up to date programs and protocols in how to efficiently deal with bloodborne pathogen incidences can greatly help with ensuring the safety of all employees.

    Carpet is notorious for becoming a home for allergens, dust particles and bacteria. If you or anyone in your home is susceptible to breathing problems, the airborne particles in carpet can increase and/or lead to breathing problems, such as asthma and allergies. These contaminants in your carpeting can cause a wide range of health problems, especially in children and the elderly. Vacuuming does help to remove dust mites, dirt and bacteria; however, it doesn’t completely remove these things and over time they accumulate, increasing the risk of health problems. Professional carpet cleaning helps to remove dust mites, bacteria and other allergens, which ultimately helps your family breathe easier and reduces the risk of colds and other health problems.


    Having your carpet professionally cleaned will help to improve the look and the feel. As dirt and dust build up in the fibers, it causes the fibers to become matted, which makes the carpet look old and worn as well as feel rough and flat, regardless of how much padding is underneath. Expert cleaning helps to keep the dirt and dust from tearing away at the fibers in the carpet, which ultimately makes them look better and feel softer for a longer amount of time.
