    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 .

    Janitors and janitorial staff are essential to keeping the places we use every day clean, safe, and healthy. Their work supports schools, offices, restaurants, medical facilities, and many other environments by maintaining sanitation and preventing the buildup of dirt, germs, and hazards.

    Through proper cleaning procedures, chemical safety, and infection-control practices, janitorial staff help reduce the spread of illnesses and protect the public. Their training allows them to follow professional standards, including safe handling of chemicals, disinfecting high-touch areas, and maintaining consistent quality in commercial cleaning.

    Janitors also support the daily operations of businesses by improving comfort, appearance, and productivity in every facility. Their contributions often go unnoticed, yet they are vital to public health, building maintenance, and the overall quality of life in our communities.

    Imagine opening your front door and breathing in air that smells like lemon, not chemicals. Floors that shine without harsh fumes, glass that sparkles without streaks of ammonia, and a home that feels clean and safe for kids, pets, and sensitive lungs. That’s the promise of green cleaning—using environmentally friendly, non-toxic, low-VOC methods that protect both your family and the planet.

    But not every “eco” label means what it claims. Some companies practice greenwashing—using words like “natural” while still relying on harsh petrochemicals, artificial fragrances, and unnecessary disinfectants. That’s where IJCSA Green Cleaning Members stand apart. IJCSA professionals focus on using natural cleaning products like baking soda, white vinegar, lemon juice, washing soda, borax, hydrogen peroxide, and plant-based soaps, paired with tools like microfiber cloths that clean effectively with less chemical use. They understand the difference between biodegradable and recyclable, and choose products that are safer for waterways, indoor air quality, and long-term health.

    When you hire an IJCSA Green Cleaning Member, you’re choosing a service that actively works to reduce exposure to unnecessary toxins in your home—avoiding ingredients linked to irritation or worse, such as strong synthetic solvents, harsh chlorine bleach, or unnecessary fragrances. A thoughtful green cleaning program can mean fewer irritants in the air, less residue on surfaces, and a healthier environment overall. That’s especially important for families with allergies, asthma, kids, or immune-sensitive individuals.

    If you’re ready for your home to feel fresh, bright, and truly eco-friendly—not just “scented like a lemon”—you can find a verified green cleaning professional in your area through the IJCSA Green Cleaning Service Directory. Visit
    https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services
    to connect with a cleaning company that understands green brands, toxic ingredients, VOCs, natural alternatives, and the real meaning of environmentally friendly cleaning.

    Let the magic return to your world—one green clean at a time.

    Understanding bloodborne pathogens is essential for every cleaning employee and staff member because it directly impacts health, safety, and professionalism on the job. Bloodborne pathogens, such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. In the cleaning industry, workers frequently handle materials and environments where exposure could occur—restrooms, trash receptacles, or post-incident cleanup sites. Without proper training and awareness, employees risk infection, illness, or even the spread of disease to others, including clients and coworkers. Knowledge of how these pathogens spread helps workers act with caution and confidence in every cleaning situation.

    Equally important is understanding and following OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, which provides specific procedures to prevent exposure. Employees must know how to use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly, practice proper hand hygiene, and dispose of sharps or contaminated materials safely. Awareness also includes understanding what to do in the event of exposure—such as immediately reporting the incident, washing the affected area, and seeking medical evaluation. When staff members are trained in these procedures, they help create a workplace culture that prioritizes safety, compliance, and responsibility.

    Finally, knowledge of bloodborne pathogens empowers cleaning professionals to protect not just themselves but the clients and communities they serve. A well-trained team demonstrates integrity and care, ensuring every site is not only visibly clean but also sanitized to the highest health standards. By staying educated and following OSHA guidelines, cleaning staff reduce risk, prevent cross-contamination, and uphold the reputation of their company as a trusted and safe cleaning partner. Understanding bloodborne pathogens isn’t just a compliance requirement—it’s a commitment to protecting lives every day.

    Think about the first thing you notice when you walk into a building. If it smells clean, the floors shine, and the trash cans are neatly emptied, you probably do not stop to wonder why. That is the quiet impact of janitors and janitorial staff, the people who shape our daily environments in ways that often go unseen. Without their steady work, offices, schools, hospitals, and government buildings would quickly become unwelcoming and unhealthy. Their role in janitorial services is not just about sweeping and mopping, it is about creating order, safety, and comfort in every corner of our lives.

    The truth is, commercial cleaning is about more than appearances. Janitors are on the front lines of public health. They disinfect desks before children arrive to learn, sanitize door handles touched by hundreds of hands, and maintain restrooms so that they remain safe and usable. During the height of the pandemic, many people began to recognize how vital their work really is, but even in ordinary times these efforts prevent the spread of illness, increase productivity, and build trust in the places we spend our time. Communities rely on janitorial cleaning services far more than they realize, and often only notice the importance when the work is missing.

    Businesses and institutions that take cleanliness seriously often seek out certified and reliable professionals. That is why the Janitorial Directory exists, to connect people with trusted companies that meet industry standards in janitorial cleaning services. For building managers, property owners, or agencies, the directory is a practical way to find dependable providers who understand that clean spaces are not a luxury but a necessity. The next time you step into a spotless lobby or a freshly disinfected workspace, remember that it did not happen by accident. A janitor made that space ready for you, and in doing so made daily life a little better for everyone.

    Commercial cleaners need to know about bloodborne pathogens because they can be dangerous. These are germs found in blood and body fluids that can cause serious sickness like HIV or hepatitis. Even if you’re not in a hospital, but you clean dental offices, or day surgery centers, or Walk-in clinics, you might clean up after accidents, sick people, or dirty bathrooms where these germs could be present.

    Training helps workers learn how to stay safe. It teaches when to wear gloves, masks, and other protective gear, how to clean up spills the right way, and what to do if you get exposed. Knowing these steps helps prevent getting sick and keeps everyone safer on the job.

    Employers must give this training for free and during work hours. But more importantly, it helps cleaning staff feel confident and protected. When you understand the risks and how to handle them, you’re better prepared to do your job safely and protect yourself and others.

    We often walk through schools, office buildings, hospitals, and stores without giving much thought to who keeps those spaces clean, healthy, and functional. But the reality is that janitors and janitorial staff play an essential role in maintaining the environments we rely on every day. Their work ensures that germs are kept at bay, trash doesn't pile up, and restrooms, floors, and shared surfaces stay sanitized and welcoming. In many ways, they are the unsung heroes of public health and safety — always working behind the scenes to protect us.

    In the world of commercial cleaning, janitorial teams are crucial for business operations. Clean workspaces lead to higher productivity, fewer sick days, and a more professional appearance for customers and clients. From dusting and disinfecting to handling specialized cleaning for medical facilities or industrial environments, janitorial staff are trained to meet high standards. That’s why hiring qualified professionals through a reliable source like the IJCSA Janitorial Services Directory makes all the difference when looking for consistent, trustworthy cleaning support.

    When we think about essential workers, janitors deserve to be at the top of the list. Their contributions touch every part of our daily lives — often unnoticed, but always appreciated when we pause to recognize them. Whether in schools, hospitals, office buildings, or retail stores, janitorial staff are a vital part of keeping our world running smoothly. To find certified, dependable cleaning professionals in your area, be sure to visit the IJCSA Janitorial Services Directory and support the hardworking individuals who help keep our spaces clean, safe, and comfortable.

    Maintaining a safe and healthy workplace begins with ensuring that cleaning employees are properly trained in recognizing and handling bloodborne pathogens. These harmful microorganisms—such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C—can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or other potentially infectious materials. Cleaning staff, who often work in environments where accidental exposure is possible, must understand how these pathogens spread and what precautions are necessary to protect themselves and others.

    Equally important is the role of management in supporting this knowledge and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Employers are responsible for providing thorough training, proper personal protective equipment (PPE), written exposure-control plans, and easy access to materials like disinfectants and spill kits. When management prioritizes bloodborne pathogen awareness, it helps create a culture of safety that reduces workplace risk and builds employee confidence. This not only protects the workforce but also reduces liability and helps the organization meet OSHA requirements.

    By working together, cleaning employees and management can significantly minimize the dangers associated with bloodborne pathogens. Proper training, clear communication, and ongoing reinforcement of safety procedures ensure that everyone understands how to respond to potential exposures. Ultimately, this shared responsibility promotes a safer work environment, enhances public health, and reinforces the professionalism and preparedness of cleaning staff.
