    Green cleaning has become one of the highest demanding cleaning preferences around the world. It's ideal to get a head start as a business owner by implementing these training techniques into your program for customers who value Eco Friendly based solutions to clean their home.

    Having a safer environment after cleaning and during cleaning will always be safer for exposure to you and your staff as well as the people taking up the occupancy being cleaned. Using the proper microfiber cloths, and natural disinfectants have some of the same outcomes and using hard brushes and chemicals, you may just have to leave on a little longer for disinfecting time but its less harsh for the environment.

    Implementing this technique to my business will help us for years and save us less expenses while doing so also, we get a chance to save water pollution everyday by cleaning without chemicals. We are the team you want for this job, as we guarantee to do the job professionally every time.

    I plan to implement a green cleaning program into my business fast. The demand is high, and people care about the environment they live or work in. Sometimes people have a lot of allergens and can't take harsh chemicals and need a lighter use of disinfectants.

    Caring about customer needs and wants is recommended for your business if you want customers to return for your service again. Preventing things that can be harmful to your air quality plays a huge role in everyday health and using Eco friendly products to reduce the risk of exposure after cleaning is ideal.

    There was a study in Canada by Tudor-Locke, et al (2011)  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3197470/ which revealed, "Normative data indicate that healthy adults typically take between 4,000 and 18,000 steps/day."  This doesn't tell us how many people in the United Sates walk across carpet every day, but many office buildings have miles of carpet with a lot of people stepping 1,000's of times every weekday.  Even if an office building happens to not have trouble with geese getting feces on the parking lot and walkways, there is still a lot of dirt being constantly tracked in and stomped into the carpet.

    Most office buildings need to have their carpet and rugs cleaned.  Hard flooring in the office setting leaves the endless sound of voices echoing throughout the day, so many office buildings still have carpet.  Carpet cleaning is still in demand.  Especially if the operation is already cleaning restrooms, offices, and common areas for a customer, then it makes sense to periodically deep clean the carpets in the same building and get out what vacuums are not able.  Cleaning companies, let's speak up and make those carpet cleaning sales!

    Properly Cleaning Healthcare Facilities Is So Important because it reduces the spread of infection, viruses and pathogens that can be deadly to millions of everyday people coming in and out of the facility.

    Every day, millions of people come in and out of healthcare facilities. Imagine going to a hospital for treatment and the facility is not properly cleaned, High Touch surfaces not fully disinfected, or ceiling lights so dusty that during treatment your body or wounds are exposed to it. This is why properly cleaning is needed.

    Using proper cleaning techniques throughout your facility is also always a great thing for professional appearance. People want to come to a facility that is cleaned, disinfected, and even though nothing is 100 percent effective, it is always good for your conscience to know you're at a place that is clean.

    Unless you are going to wait to use the bathroom until you get home, then public restrooms are the the primary option.

    So, if you use a bathroom, and it's not properly clean then you are at risk of an infection or illness. Let me also add depending how healthy you are, it can also affect how your cells respond so some people can be affected even more. 

    When you are working in an office, and it's not properly sanitized, or clean, then the indoor quality which is vital to our health can be affected which is super imperative as well.

    So, in conclusion Janitors are as important as all other front-line workers because they are the protectors of our health in a public setting

    It is no secret that green cleaning techniques and products are much more environmentally friendly and that organizations such as the IJCSA have not only embraced this but have gone so far as to keep directories that allow those service providers to be easily found by the general public such as our own directory found at https://ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services. There is also no mystery to how it can make a positive impact on both your business and your personal/family life. There are many advantages green products have over traditional chemical cleaners.

    The first advantage is for the environment. Though it seems difficult to grasp from time to time, humans are not the only living beings on this planet. We share this space with other animals and organisms. Using green cleaning products and techniques has been proven to reduce the carbon footprint and drastically reduce the irreparable harm to our environment that traditional cleaners cause.

    While maintaining and managing the environment is of significant value to the planet's future, we can not look away from what using green techniques and products do for our individual and family health. Traditional cleaners have been made with harsh chemicals and caustics that have given rise to many a respiratory problem. So one of the best ways green cleaning has improved our health is by improving the quality of the air we breathe and eliminating the toxins that have enriched systemic health problems like asthma. There are still steps we have to take to completely rid ourselves of these terrible diseases but going green is the first step in making the transition easier.

    So, going green not only protects you and the ones you love but, it also protects the ecosystems and organisms that we depend on daily to survive. Keeping these systems healthy not only ensures our continued survival but it is essential in making sure our children and grandchildren have the same opportunities as they grown and develop.

    medical buildings are not the only places that need medical cleaning practices. Offices and homes need just as much attention. especially if someone in the office or house has been too a hospital or been exposed to bloodboorne pathogens or other infectious bacteria. In that case you should wear the proper PPE and take the proper steps in order to keep yourself and other from possibly getting infected also to stop the bacteria from spreading 

    Another way of implementing medical cleaning practice in your commercial cleaning business is using the proper chemicals to make sure that all the bacteria is killed from any bodly fluid that is contaminating a desk top, table, and things of that nature.

    teaching your employees the importance of washing hands is another great way. as a cleaning company the health and safety of other should be at the top of your list. with proper cleaning of the hand it not only helps the bacteria from spreading but also helps the safety of yourself or your employees.

    these are just a few ways of implementing medical cleaning practice into your commercial cleaning company for offices or residential and how if can be very beneficial to the populations health to help prevent the spread of bacteria or viruses if you would like to learn more check out the ijcsa directory found here  https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices

    Flex Janitorial Services has made the move in to protecting our people and environment by become IJCSA Green Cleaning Certified. To us this means that we are abandoning the use of any chemical that causes real harm to our communities and our world.

    In implementing these changes we are dedicated to only using products and practices that are certified and endorsed by institutions that are charged with tracking these products by our government entities such as OSHA and the Environmental Protection Agency and non-governmental organizations like http://greencleancertified.org.

    We will institute policies and procedures to ensure the best use of green cleaning procedures/products and put in to practice a system that will allow us to track our progress through evaluations of our personnel and managerial staff, tracking product acquisitions, and staying current on the state of green cleaning practices.
