      The use of green products also referred to as eco-friendly, earth friendly and environmentally responsible. These products are much safer for us and the earth. Whether a chemical is green or not, once you clean your house or business with whatever product you choose, the chemical will start to break down or off gas. This is one area where eco-friendly products are superior. Regular cleaning products can release enough VOC's as they break down, decompose or off gas that they can effect your health, including headaches, dizziness, eye, nose and throat irritation. Also loss of coordination, damage to the liver, kidney's or central nervous system and more.

      The production and use of green cleaning products continues to grow and for good reason. The evidence backs these products. The EPA conducted a study at a school on the east coast. They found dust that contained a pesticide that was banned decades ago because it was found to cause cancer.

    Harvard University's healthy building program also found a tremendous upside to using green products and having a healthy indoor air quality. They found that it increases cognitive function and increases memory retention to name two. They were also able to quantify their findings, it resulted in a $6,500 increase in productivity per employee annually. That's what it can do for a business, so think about your house. Do you work from home? Do you have kids doing homework? Do you have pets? 

      Regular cleaning products can negatively affect your finances not just your health. People can develop dermatitis, lung issues, eye issues and more, requiring you to seek medical attention. If you have pets you may need veterinarian services as well. Using cleaning products has a ripple effect. If there are hazardous byproducts produced during the manufacturing process, where does it go and what if it got into the environment. How about when your bottle is empty, do you rinse it out or dump the last little bit down the drain? Or do you just toss it in the recycle? Think about how many chemicals can be put down a drain, mop water , rinsing out a rag after wiping down the counter, cleaning your toilet, cleaning the shower, if you clean your carpets, etc. These chemicals whether regular or green don't always make it to the water treatment facility, they can go directly into a river, lake or some other water source.

      So the next time you need a cleaning product or a cleaning service. Think about the ripple effect and what you can do to stop it. The amazing companies found on IJCSA Green Cleaning Directory can help.  https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services

    Janitors and Janitorial staff are essential to not only the cleanliness of the areas that we frequent; but also the sanitation. Janitorial staff are responsible for upkeeping areas that are frequently touched as well as areas that are not generally disturbed. Both areas over time will accumulate particles to include skin cells, dust, and germs and if ignored they can cause damage to buildings or spread illnesses. Without Janitorial staff, busy areas would be ridden with disease and filth. Proper upkeep of these areas is essential to fostering an environment that is welcoming and safe for customers and this is accomplished through an experienced janitorial staff. 

    Janitorial staff are the backbone to any thriving business and they perform the work that is often overlooked. These staff are trained to recognize and mitigate the spread of germs and filth and keep you and your customers safe from unseen dangers. Often performing duties when others are off work, these staff members reset the workplace at the end of the day so that others can come in knowing that they are entering a clean environment. The presence of a good janitorial staff can also increase productivity and enhance employee satisfaction with where they work and how they are able to perform their duties. 

    Locating an experienced janitorial staff can be very easy by utilizing the IJCSA's Janitorial Services Directory. This directory will connect you with janitorial services companies in your area.

    How important are janitors and janitorial staff to our daily lives? Janitors are extremely important to our daily lives. Whether in our workplaces, eateries, recreational activities, janitors and their work should not be understated.

    Janitors and their work are extremely important to cleanliness and the control of potentially infectious diseases. Therefore, janitors must pay close attention to detail and be on top of never-ending, but important tasks because their work is directly related to keeping employees and the public safe and healthy.

    Janitors are responsible for helping to project a positive impression of the facilities. When facilities are clean and well-maintained, it is easy for others to have a favorable opinion of the establishment. So, janitors and their work have a direct impact on how people feel about an institution. 

    So how important are janitors in our daily lives? Janitors, although many times unnoticed, are important to employee morale and public opinion. Good janitors are important! Please see International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association - Janitorial Services Directory (ijcsa.org) for more details.

    ATTENTION: Pure Green Janitorial, LLC is Master Green Cleaning Certified.

    Pure Green Janitorial is now providing businesses in Northeast Indiana and parts of Ohio and Michigan with Master Certified Green Cleaning. We have learned a lot during this certification process. 

    There are a lot of easy solutions to clean effectively whether it's a home or business. We had a difficult time trying to remove soot spots from carpet until we used baking soda and vinegar paste. 

    We also learned of the effects that brooms, dust pans and toilet bowl brushes have on the environment. They just add to the plastic pollution, but there are many alternatives that can reduce the amount of plastic that goes into the landfill. Look for dust pans that can be recycled, toilet bowl brushes with wood handles and coco fiber bristles.
