    How You Can Implement Medical Cleaning Practices Into Other Residential & Commercial Cleaning Situations

    There are 3 important things to consider when implementing medical cleaning practices in other residential and commercial cleaning situations. You need to have proper training for staff and employees, proper use of PPE, and proper cleaning standards to follow based on OSHA and other government agencies.

    Proper training involves training employees on the the MSDS and how to read and apply them to your work environment as well as what not to do with certain products. With that it is important to also know how to properly use PPE and how to put them on properly so that you do not put yourself in danger when cleaning. Lastly it is important to also know the proper cleaning standards along with how to properly clean and disinfect and proper dwell time for certain products to effectively work.

    By following your employers cleaning standards, you should be set up for success in limiting germ and viruses in your facility. It is also a good practice to clean with color coded rags to know which rags will be used for what surfaces in order not to cross contaminate surfaces. Follow this directory for janitorial service providers.

    Because the medical cleaning aspects require more attention to detail, the learning in this field can apply tremendously to other residential and commercial cleaning industries. You will be like a super cleaning company compared to your competitors who are not versed and educated in the healthcare cleaning standards and protocols. It may be easier to sell your services with this tool in your belt.

    Why Is Properly Cleaning Healthcare Facilities So Important

    Properly cleaning healthcare facilities is important for many reasons. One, a clean hospital minimizes blood borne pathogens. With proper disposal of sharps, proper use of PPE, and proper cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces, one can minimize infectious diseases.

    When ever in need of a directory to find janitorial service providers consider looking on the directory. Proper cleaning of healthcare facilities is also important because it is our loved ones that are there and in need of proper treatment. If we can minimize infectious diseases then their chances of surviving are higher especially with such high HAI's.

    It also helps keep staff and employees safe in an environment that is so high in infectious diseases. It is important to follow the proper procedures as described by OSHA and other government agencies.

    Janitors and Janitorial staff are very important to our daily lives. They are the foundation of everyone walking into any place and being comfortable to lets say shop at the mall for that new outfit, or the grocery store and buying all your ingredients for dinner in a nice and clean space. If it wasn't for the janitor or cleaning staff, you would not step foot into a filthy building.

    Janitors are the backbone for everyone enjoying shopping, eating, or even watching a movie in a nice and clean area. They are the ones that keep a place going and wanting one to go back. Cleanliness is the first thing someone notices when walking into a place and the proceeds with their agenda in hand. If you are in need of a janitorial service, please see IJCSA's Directory https://www.ijcsa.org/Janitorial-Service-Directory-Find-A-Janitorial-Service-JanitorialServices 

    On that note remember when you do see a janitor or any cleaning staff just give them a small thank you, they are a huge reason you are able to enjoy your outing.

    Maintaining a clean pathogen free environment is important for not only yourself but the community around you.

    Learning about bloodborne pathogens in the cleaning industry is extremely important for the safety of your wellbeing. By understanding the potential risks associated with diseases such as HIV you are better equipped with the knowledge to implement the right protocols in order to properly clean up hazardous and dangerous messes.

    This knowledge is an important aspect of professional cleaning services, ensuring the safety of both cleaning personnel and the communities we live in. Understanding when to use the right equipment in these situations can greatly decrease exposure to health risks and potentially harmful diseases.

    What is the importance of customer service? 

    In short, the answer is everything. Your business will only grow as much as your customer service skills. If you are willing to become better and improve on your customer service, it will take you and your business very far.

    If you need help on your customer service skills I would recommend reaching out to fellow janitorial cleaning owners and workers at the directory for a few minutes of their time.

    Everyone is super helpful nowadays and you I would highly recommend IJCSA for all your resources in janitorial topics and training.
