    Let's start by saying Green Cleaning is the way to go! Having the proper advertisement that is informative to the potential customers that your company promotes green cleaning is very helpful in gaining new customers. Due to the varying diseases, terminal and short-term life altering disabilities and more, consumers as such be a driving force to use green cleaning products and promote the benefits of using them. It is also important to include that the use of green cleaning products is much more cost effective than the leading products that contain harmful chemicals. The consumer should also be aware that they still have options when it comes to the different methods of green cleaning like, steam-cleaning (recommended), encapsulation etc. 

    A company that displayed the things that I listed, and more is Eqovey (https://www.eqovey.com/). This company not only promotes green cleaning, but also the benefits of green cleaning, which is critical for a customer to know. The listing of the businesses that they service is also important for the customer to know because they will be knowledgeable of whether that company will be able to assist them. In closing, the information that is listed in under the disinfecting services also provides information of specific chemicals that are not found in the products they use. 

    The additional tab that is provided that provides information on how to keep down and possibly help to eliminate germs in the home or areas frequented. The incorporation of business promotion was very smooth and non-transparent for a person that is trying to determine if they should utilize a cleaning company or take a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach.

    The benefits of having a green cleaning program, first, is to protect yourself and the people that you will be servicing. Using green cleaning products does not have the same harmful effects on the body as using cleaning products that have harmful chemicals in it. Respiratory issues are a primary concern due to inhalation of the products; the respiratory system is one of the many filtering systems that filters toxins from the body. Safety of the clients is the number one priority of the business owner. In addition to health, green cleaning still possesses the cleaning power as the products that have harmful chemicals in it.

    Green cleaning has become very popular for residents of houses/apartments. When factoring cost, the products are less expensive which in turn generates a cheaper price for the customer for the cleaning service that was rendered to them. When concerning the products, these are your basic chemical household items that can be easily pronounced and have provide a central understanding of what the product is. A rule of thumb in dealing with chemicals is if you can't pronounce them then you will not be able to understand the workings of the chemical being used.

    Janitors are vital aspect of any company's business practices and often do a lot of behind the scenes work that we might not notice. Whether its a school, hospital, corporate office, or retail store, all businesses need a janitor to keep things clean and safe for everyone. With OSHA trained/certified janitors cleaning the grounds, occupants of these businesses and other commercial buildings can go throughout their daily lives with a lower risk of contracting preventable diseases. 

    People travel to many different places and buildings throughout the day which results in dirt and germs spreading to a multitude of places and people. This is where janitors come in to solve that issue. Janitors are properly trained to disinfect surfaces and remove bacteria/dirt from high traffic areas. They significantly lower the risk of diseases being spread throughout the public while simultaneously putting their own health at risk by cleaning up all types of potentially infectious substances. Janitors must be greatly appreciated and acknowledged for the selfless work they do everyday.

    Without janitors the world would be a very dirty and unhealthy place to live and most businesses wouldn't be able to operate efficiently or at all. They do a myriad of different tasks throughout the day such as emptying garbage cans, cleaning restrooms, sweeping/mopping, dusting, and much more to keep their workplaces clean and healthy for all occupants. So the next time you see a janitor, let them know how important their work is to the public!

      Well as everyone knows a bloodborne pathogen is a microorganism in the blood that can cause several diseases, such as HBV, HIV, or AIDS. So working in the sanitation and janitorial field there are often times you will be exposed to all kinds of bodily fluids.

      Knowing how to approach these situations properly are important for clients and staff, because you must know how to disinfect and sanitize areas and surfaces in order to prevent spreading and exposure.

      As long as everyone uses the "Universal Precaution" rule established saying all blood and certain bodily fluids should be considered potentially infectious to minimize the risk of exposure. As well as proper labeling and coloring for all used laundry and equipment.

    It is imperative that all cleaning employees and staff know about bloodborne pathogens, the risk of encountering them, how to properly protect themselves and others, as well as what to do when exposed. These employees are at high risk of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens during their everyday work hours but with the proper training they can greatly decrease the level of risk of exposure. They need to know how to safely clean an infectious substance, dispose of sharps and other infectious materials, and the proper protection that should be worn while doing these tasks. 

    There are specific protocols to follow when dealing with these potentially infectious substances such as "Universal Precautions", post exposure management, and exposure control. Following Universal Precautions, you should assume all bodily fluids are infectious and use the proper PPE to handle them. When dealing with blood or bodily fluids its important to treat them with caution and to dispose of them properly to minimize the risk of exposure. Wearing the correct gloves, mask, or other PPE will greatly decrease the risk of being exposed. Exposure control plans or regulations should always be followed when you're at risk of exposure; they should include all the information you need to protect yourself and others while cleaning up bodily fluids in your workplace. In the event that you're exposed to any bloodborne pathogens, the post exposure management plans are there to guide you through the situation. Any possible exposures must be reported to your employer and physician immediately to decrease the risk of contracting a disease. 

    If employees in this field do not know about bloodborne pathogens and the proper way to handle them, then the risk of them and others being exposed raises exponentially. This can cause outbreaks of diseases and halt all workplace activities indefinitely. In healthcare settings its extremely important that all employees have sufficient knowledge of bloodborne pathogens so that the patients and workers can remain safe. Its also important that they're are equipped with the proper PPE to deal with these potentially infectious substances. Without these standards and regulations, patients and employees would not be able to trust the facility with their health and many people would contract preventable diseases.

    The importance of cleaning employees as well as staff knowing about bloodborne pathogens is critical to any business because it provides critical knowledge, the proper PPE, the steps and precautions necessary in case an employee or staff comes in contact with bloodborne pathogens.

    A bloodborne pathogen by its definition is a pathogenic microorganism that are present in the human body and can cause disease in humans, having the critical knowledge or training needed whether staff or cleaning employee will deter the negligence and lower the potential accidents including death when handling bloodborne pathogens.

    Another benefit in knowing about bloodborne pathogens is the PPE to use when handling and working around bloodborne pathogens there are many different PPE in the market today; however using the correct PPE will not only save time but as well as lives and the health of your organization. 

    Bloodborne pathogens are contagious and can be fatal, by having steps in place as well as the necessary precautions to take in case of an emergency is a safeguard to your organization, their families, and the community. 

    In short implementing the Universal Precautions when handling as well knowing about bloodborne pathogens should be practiced in every organization, it is our moral responsibility to inform our clients, educate our employees, and train our organizations on bloodborne pathogens in any setting and continue to lead the way in health and safe workplace cleaning practices.
