    In this line of work it is always safety first, never knowing what you may encounter. The cleaning business in the middle of what is to be considered the worst Pandemic ever to hit the world. Simply changing out a trash bag without the proper protection (gloves and glasses) could cause you to get a cut from some glass or needle or even com in contact with some unknown fluid(s).

    I require all of my employees to take this course and I pay for it, they say knowledge is power and I aim high. Something as simple as cleaning a surface(s) with a sharp edge which is invisible to the naked eye, without the proper gear could end fatal. 

    More importantly, knowing the correct chemicals that is  OSHA approved to kill pathogens such as but not limited to, HBV or HIV. Having the proper protective  gear, with the approved products for disinfecting and sanitizing will always produce satisfied customers.

    There a lot of reasons why cleaning the healthcare facilities is so important:

    First when we say healthcare facilities, we already know in our mind it is a place where care is given for different reasons, it could be sickness, pregnancy, simple blood work etc…. And we know the bacteria and viruses are very frequent in these places therefore every effort should be made to make sure these facilities are properly cleaned to eliminate or reduce the growth of these infectious diseases.

    The patients go to these facilities for different reasons, and we don’t want any patient to acquire any other infections than what he or she already has. However, if these places are not properly cleaned it could lead the spread of infection and a lot of people could get sicker or sick.

    Also the visitors and staff, leave their homes to go to these facilities thinking these places are properly cleaned, and I think every effort should be made that is so as we don’t want them to catch anything in these facilities, and take back to their love ones.

    All in all the management of these healthcare facilities must ensure the EVS staff are well trained, and these facilities are properly cleaned for the safety of the patients, visitors and staff.

     A cleaner or cleaning technician in a healthcare setting plays one of the most important roles in healthcare. Healthcare cleaning technicians are front line in the prevention and possible spread of bloodborne pathogens to the public, staff and anyone else coming into contact with infected materials. 

    Healthcare settings need structured and professional cleaning protocols by trained technicians. Without these protocols there would be spread of infectious disease to the masses. Healthcare settings must maintain cleanliness.

    Patients as well as staff must feel confident, they will not contract illness while visiting or working the healthcare facility. Especially if illness is avoidable by cleaning technicians and staff following BPS (Bloodborne Pathogen Standards).

    Maintaining a high standard of cleanliness in healthcare facilities is not just about aesthetics—it is a crucial factor that directly impacts patient health and safety. Proper healthcare facility cleaning is essential to create an environment that minimizes the risk of infections and supports the well-being of patients, healthcare professionals, and visitors.

    First and foremost, healthcare facilities are unique environments that demand meticulous cleaning due to the constant flow of patients and the presence of various pathogens. Effective cleaning in healthcare settings involves not only visible surfaces but also high-touch areas and hidden spaces where harmful microorganisms may linger. Janitorial services specializing in healthcare cleaning, such as those listed in the Janitorial Service Directory, play a pivotal role in employing industry-specific protocols to ensure thorough sanitation.

    One such exemplar in the field is Crystal Clean Medical Office Cleaning in Arvada, Colorado, whose expertise in healthcare facility cleaning extends to using hospital-grade disinfectants, implementing rigorous infection control measures, and maintaining strict adherence to industry regulations. Their commitment to cleanliness helps create a safe and healing environment for patients while safeguarding the health of healthcare professionals. In the realm of healthcare cleaning, attention to detail and adherence to best practices are not just preferences; they are imperative for promoting the overall well-being of everyone who walks through the doors of a healthcare facility. Choose a specialized janitorial service that prioritizes healthcare cleaning to ensure the health and safety of your facility's occupants.

    Bloodborne Pathogens are an extreme danger to anyone working around or near them. That is why OSHA came up with the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. By their measure this standard alone can be responsible to preventing over 8,000 bloodborne infections and more than 200 deaths each year. These are impressive numbers considering that there are so many frontline workers exposed to the dangers of Bloodborne Pathogens.

    These Bloodborne Pathogens are defined as a microorganism (such as a virus or bacteria) that can be present in blood and bodily fluids. These pathogens can be passed from person to person through contact by contaminated blood or any other bodily fluids. Hence the extreme danger. For many frontline workers, these hazards don't present themselves until its way too late, sometimes getting stabbed by a needle wrapped in cloth, or deep in a pants pocket. 

    All frontline workers need to arm themselves with the proper protective equipment and protocols in the event that they themselves become exposed. Especially for those that do biohazard cleaning, this becomes even more of a truth. These workers have to keep in mind that almost everything that they are working near can be contaminated. And with a job as dangerous as that, one mistake can cost them their life.

    Picking the wrong person to clean your carpets is like mixing a red sock with your white clothes and then adding bleach. Imagine this: those door-to-door salesmen who SWEAR they know what they're doing when it comes to cleaning your carpet may seem to know what they're talking about with their fancy suits and carpet cleaner in hand but do they really? I mean, when they want to test clean your carpet they don't say, "Hey, what's this carpet made of?" They just go ahead and attempt to clean a spot and then it changes colors. And now, you have your nice blue carpet turned orange because someone didn't read a tag. At IJCSA that is not something you need to worry about. Here, we are all trained to not only read the tags on your carpet but also are trained to clean your carpet based on what your carpet's tag says and the nature of your carpet stains! But hey, I don't know about you but when my carpets get cleaned, I like them soft, odorless, and the same color as when I bought them. Choose an IJCSA member to clean them and you won't regret it.
