    I have been in the cleaning field for twenty years ,  over time I have built my career as a cleaning professional I have made great strides  in my cleaning career through dedication and hard work I have built a great clientele base over the years whom I value you greatly and attribute for my greater success . I am OCD a germophobic by nature my instinct is clean , I am a strong innovative cleaner that knows how to bust through and remove grime , always a front runner in safety for me and my clients .I am a  detail oriented cleaner  and  have exceptional organizing techniques as well as design I always follow through with a showroom finish on every cleaning job I complete .

    I was a young single mother my only skill at the time was being a mom and homemaker working endless jobs to make ends meet while attending classes  and paying my way through college I worked hotels and other no end jobs barely making ends meet then I discovered I could clean on my own I landed a new construction contract through my fathers long time best friend it didn't take long until the money started flowing in I have been building different avenues ever since cleaning residential ,  commercial ,  and new construction .

      I can honestly say the last five years have been my best growth and strongest clientele base I ever had I have built my growth through strong customer service skills dedication and hard work has gained me great PR  word of mouth and referrals through past and current clients is what has created my biggest growth thus far  . My clients are  people that I have grown to love knowing and caring for their needs for so many years some more recent than others  I consider them friends as well as an extension of family when you are working for the same costumers throughout the years would be hard not too in my opinion  . Up until a few months ago I was very confident within my skill and experience as a cleaning professional to clean and disinfect for my clients keeping them safer every clean giving extra protection through the cold and flu season then Covid - 19 came , when I realized  how serious the pandemic was I suspended business immediately even before the state started shutting down I knew this virus was bigger than anything I had ever experienced . My instinct was to immediately start looking for more astringent PPE for proper protection for my personal protection as well as my clients protection I immediately thought to seek training and certification for bio hazard cleaning  did a quick search online and found IJCSA I was navigating the website and found I could get certified in biohazard cleaning but first I would have to get certified in hazardous chemicals customer service , residential cleaning specialist  then move on to bio hazard cleaning certification  IJCSA also has many other certifications available . I have had a lot of fun taking these refresher course study for these certifications has reminded me of the importance of chemical safety and the different resources out their for us professionals .

    For me the key advantages of hiring a cleaning professional that has passed the IJCSA RCS Certification is for safety professionalism  and good cleaning performance providing a better experience when hiring a house cleaner . hiring  a IJCSA RCS Certified cleaner advantages in safety is a front runner in this dangerous time with Covid - 19 looming in my opinion is a must for a cleaning professional to train for safety in all aspects IJCSA RCS Certified cleaners certify in bloodborne pathogens , hazardous chemical , cleaning skill and safety definitely is an advantage for you to insure to your clients you are ready and qualified for the job moving forward .

    In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the silent efforts of janitors and janitorial staff often go unnoticed. Yet, these dedicated professionals play a critical role in maintaining the cleanliness, hygiene, and overall functionality of the environments we rely on — from schools and hospitals to office buildings and public transit systems. Without their tireless work, workplaces would be unsanitary, classrooms would be chaotic, and healthcare facilities would become breeding grounds for illness. Janitorial services are not simply about sweeping floors or emptying trash; they are vital components of public health and safety.

    The commercial cleaning industry has become even more essential in the post-pandemic world. The need for disinfecting high-touch surfaces, deep cleaning restrooms, and sanitizing communal spaces has placed janitorial staff on the front lines of health defense. Their responsibilities extend far beyond basic cleaning — they help prevent the spread of viruses, allergens, and harmful bacteria, making our everyday environments safer for all. From carpet cleaning to window washing and restroom sanitization, janitorial professionals perform specialized tasks that enhance comfort, prolong facility lifespan, and promote productivity in workspaces.

    For businesses and organizations seeking reputable janitorial services, resources like the Janitorial Directory are invaluable. This platform connects users with trusted commercial cleaning companies across the country, ensuring high-quality service and reliable partnerships. Whether you’re a facility manager, a business owner, or simply someone who appreciates clean spaces, recognizing the value of janitors and janitorial staff is crucial. Their contributions may often be behind the scenes, but their impact is front and center in every clean surface we touch and every safe space we enter.

    In an era where environmental consciousness is no longer optional, becoming Green Cleaning Certified serves as a powerful catalyst for both corporate growth and individual professional development. For a company, this certification is more than just a badge on a website; it is a fundamental shift in business operations that aligns with the modern consumer's demand for transparency. By adopting certified green standards, a business distinguishes itself from competitors who may be practicing "greenwashing"—the act of making unsubstantiated claims about being eco-friendly. Certification provides the verified expertise needed to secure high-value contracts with schools, medical facilities, and government offices that now mandate strict Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) protocols and sustainable procurement policies.

    For the individual cleaner or facility manager, the benefits are deeply rooted in health and safety. Traditional cleaning often exposes workers to a "body burden" of chronic chemical exposure, leading to long-term respiratory issues and skin sensitization. Being certified means gaining a sophisticated understanding of green chemistry, allowing you to identify and eliminate hidden hazards such as phthalates, 1,4-Dioxane, and endocrine-disrupting synthetic fragrances. This knowledge empowers the individual to act as a "health advocate" for the building's occupants, utilizing science-based methods like Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and high-efficiency HEPA filtration to create a truly sanitized environment without the use of corrosive or carcinogenic substances.

    The broader value of this certification lies in its commitment to protecting the global population and our shared natural resources. When a certified professional chooses a readily biodegradable surfactant over a petroleum-based solvent, they are preventing the bioaccumulation of toxins in our waterways. Many conventional cleaners contain "persistent organic pollutants" that do not break down, eventually entering the food chain and harming aquatic life. A green cleaning program prioritizes the use of renewable, plant-based ingredients and low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) formulas, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the cleaning industry and mitigating the impact of climate change.

    Ultimately, the most effective way to leverage this expertise is through community and visibility. Joining the connects certified members with a growing demographic of eco-conscious clients who are actively seeking non-toxic cleaning solutions. This directory serves as a bridge between high-standard professionals and consumers who value the safety of their families and employees. By becoming a part of this network, you are not just providing a service; you are joining a global movement to transition the janitorial industry toward a future that is sustainable, ethical, and biologically safe for everyone.

    Breathe Easier: The Professional Difference of a Certified Green Clean In a world where we are increasingly aware of the chemicals in our food and clothing, many homeowners and facility managers often overlook the "toxic load" hiding right in their cleaning closet. Traditional cleaning products frequently rely on harsh solvents, respiratory irritants like chlorine bleach, and hidden endocrine disruptors like phthalates that linger in the air long after the "clean" scent fades. When you choose an IJCSA Green Certified professional, you aren't just getting a tidy space; you are investing in a healthier indoor environment. Our members understand the science of body burden and are committed to eliminating these harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from your home or office, ensuring the air you breathe is as fresh as it looks.

    Beyond personal health, finding a green cleaning service through the International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association (IJCSA) means choosing a partner dedicated to the preservation of our local ecosystems. We swap out bioaccumulative toxins and persistent pollutants for high-performance, readily biodegradable alternatives like hydrogen peroxide and plant-based surfactants. These modern solutions are just as powerful as traditional chemicals at lifting grease and neutralizing pathogens, but they break down into harmless water and oxygen rather than poisoning our local waterways. By utilizing advanced tools like HEPA-filtered vacuums and high-grade microfiber technology, our members remove more physical soil and allergens than conventional methods, providing a deeper clean that respects the planet.
