Key Advantages of Hiring a Cleaning Person or Company That Has Passed the IJCSA Residential Cleaning Specialist (RCS) Certification

01 Dec 2025 9:17 PM | Lori Beron

When you hire a cleaning person or company, trust, professionalism, and quality should be top priorities. That’s why choosing someone who has earned the IJCSA Residential Cleaning Specialist (RCS) Certification makes a difference. The RCS Certification is awarded by the International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association (IJCSA) to individuals and companies who demonstrate expert-level knowledge in home cleaning techniques, health and safety protocols, chemical handling, and customer service. This ensures you're not just hiring someone with a mop — you’re hiring a trained professional committed to doing the job right.

Certified RCS professionals have completed comprehensive training that goes far beyond basic cleaning. They understand how to properly disinfect high-touch surfaces, identify and use the safest and most effective cleaning products, and tailor their services to meet the unique needs of your household. Whether it's preventing cross-contamination in bathrooms and kitchens or using allergy-friendly techniques for homes with pets or children, certified specialists are trained to clean with health, safety, and environmental impact in mind.

Another key advantage of hiring an RCS-certified cleaner is consistency and accountability. These professionals are held to a higher industry standard and must adhere to best practices taught through IJCSA. This includes everything from communication and professionalism to job-specific knowledge, such as floor care, stain treatment, and safe equipment use. Many certified companies also implement quality control measures and client feedback systems to continuously improve service. The result? A more dependable and efficient cleaning experience every time.

Additionally, working with an IJCSA RCS-certified individual or company can bring peace of mind. Many of these professionals are also licensed, bonded, and insured — an added layer of protection for your home and belongings. Certification through IJCSA also means the cleaner is part of a respected global association that promotes continuing education, ethics, and excellence in the cleaning industry. For homeowners, this translates into a partnership with someone who is not only knowledgeable but also committed to professional growth and long-term service.

Ultimately, hiring a cleaning service should ease your stress, not add to it. Choosing an IJCSA RCS-certified cleaner gives you the confidence that your home is being cared for by someone who values their craft and respects your space.
