Benefits of IJCSA Cleaning Certifications

01 Feb 2021 7:37 AM | Deleted user

Prior to taking these certifications I really didn't realize how uneducated I was. There is so much criteria to learn and must know in order to properly and efficiently clean a business.

For instance, you can not just walk into a medical office and assume to just wipe down, vacuum and mop. No! Doesn't work that way. What if there was blood spills? What happens god forbid you were throwing out the trash and there was an improper syringe that placed in there, now all of a sudden you get stuck by it? Would you know the protocol on what to do? You have to understand that everything even if unseen in a medical facility is contaminated. 

Now let's look at products... We tend to think we can use whatever to clean, long as I gets the job done and smells great right? Wrong! So many of our cleaning products we use today are so harmful to our health and environment. Extremely toxic in ways you would not be educated in unless you were taught about it. 

Then you have the issue that rises about safety equipment.. How do we protect ourselves? Are goggles necessary? Should I always use a mask? Do I need gloves even just to dust? The answer to all these questions is yes... A hundred times yes! You are protecting yourself in so many different ways. Breathing all those chemicals, and dust, and even germs in consistently is nothing light on your health.

IJCSA has educated me in more ways I could have expected. Being in charge of the sanitation and upkeep of ones business/office/home is very crucial and should always be taken with proper precautions for the benefit and safety of everyone.
