    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.

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!

    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.

    Properly cleaning healthcare facilities is extremely important. Healthcare facilities are full of germs and other harmful bacteria that can be spread to others. Germs can easily spread without even knowing it considering germs cannot be seen by the naked eye. Wearing proper PPE and properly disinfecting surfaces is critical to the health of a healthcare facility.

    Janitorial staff can help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria in a healthcare facility by wearing the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). The most commonly recommended PPE for janitorial staff in healthcare facilities are gloves and eyewear. Janitorial staff can also wear a protective gown, mask, and hair cover. PPE protects the employee from touching or inhaling the germs and when properly disposed of can help to reduce the spread and exposure of germs.

    Janitorial staff can also ensure that healthcare facilities are being properly cleaned by ensuring all surfaces are wiped down with the proper cleaning solution. The instructions for the cleaning solution need to be followed so that it can work properly. It is important for the surface area to be left wet for the recommended dwell time to make sure it has enough time to properly kill germs and bacteria.

    Germs are everywhere and its impossible to get rid of all of them. However, it is essential for healthcare facilities to do what they can to manage them and prevent the spread. Two key ways this can occur is by wearing PPE and properly using cleaning solutions.  

    If you are looking for a company to properly clean your healthcare facility, check out the Janitorial Services Directory.

    We often take for granted the clean and organized spaces utilize daily. A healthy and functional environment relies heavily on the efforts of janitorial custodians. These dedicated professionals play a vital role in our daily lives, safeguarding our health, boosting productivity, and fostering a positive atmosphere.

    The primary function of janitorial custodians is to maintain cleanliness. They meticulously clean surfaces, remove trash, and ensure proper hygiene standards are met. This seemingly simple task has a profound impact on public health. By eliminating viruses and bacteria, custodians help prevent the spread of illnesses, creating safer spaces for everyone.

    In business, a clean and organized environment goes beyond aesthetics. Studies have shown that a well-maintained workspace can significantly improve employee morale and productivity. A clutter-free environment with clean surfaces fosters a sense of professionalism and allows employees to focus on their tasks without distractions. Additionally, a clean workspace creates a positive first impression for clients and visitors, promoting a more professional image for the company.

    While janitorial work may go unnoticed, their contributions are undeniable. Quality of life and professional life starts with cleanliness and order. Janitors provide that peace of mind.

    Occupations across the spectrum carry the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. These microscopic entities like Hepatitis B and HIV, can lurk in human blood and certain bodily fluids. With proper safety measures, we can significantly reduce the risk of infection or even exposure.

    The prime protection is the concept of universal precautions. This principle emphasizes treating all human blood and bodily fluids as potentially infectious, regardless of the patient's known health status. By adopting this cautious approach, we can minimize the chance of exposure in unexpected situations. Universal precautions translate into practical steps like wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection during any procedure that might involve contact with blood or bodily fluids.

    Beyond individual protection, universal cleanup procedures are crucial to prevent the spread of pathogens in the environment. This involves proper disinfection and disposal of contaminated materials. Spills should be cleaned using designated disinfectants, and needles should be disposed of in specific marked, color coded containers to avoid accidental injury.

    By prioritizing safety through universal precautions and meticulous cleanup, we can create a safer environment for everyone, from healthcare workers to the general public. Remember, prevention goes a long way in protecting ourselves and those around us from the dangers of bloodborne pathogens and keeps everyone safe.

    Creating a clean and harmonious environment is important for the safety and wellbeing on people. We believe in being of service to people and that should be the root of every cleaning business mantra. 

    If you were to improperly clean schools, children and teachers would be ill and unable to attend. The same goes for doctors, surgeons and all people in the healthcare industry. Imagine how it could affect the maternity ward?

    In the case of a viral epidemic such a COVID, without a trusted cleaning company who is trained on how to elevate disinfecting procedures you would almost be setting up the inhabitants for failure. 

    Great cleaning comes with great knowledge and with that comes great service and client relationships for any business endeavor. If you're looking for an janitorial ally visit https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices

Ensuring that cleaning employees understand the importance of these simple practices is critical in maintaining the safety of employees and patients when applicable. 

    Bloodborne Pathogens can seem like a daunting concept to understand and maintain; however, when simple tasks are established it is more easily manageable. The video was extremely enlightening and I enjoyed how simple it was to understand so these practices can be appropriately incorporated into daily operations.
