    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.

    Cleaning as I learned in our business Celestial Commercial Cleaning Service is not a commodity or luxury but simply a requirement and these requirements involve being knowledgable in Bloodborne Pathogens training and how to avoid infections for staff and visitors to a facility. 

    There are universal standards on how to be safe like using PPE including but not limited to safety glasses, masks, gloves, gowns and more. It is important to use PPE to prevent contamination especially when dealing with Bloodborne Pathogens.

    OSHA recommends: "If you are stuck by a needle or other sharp or get blood or other potentially infectious materials in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on broken skin, immediately flood the exposed area with water and clean any wound with soap and water or a skin disinfectant if available. Report this immediately to your employer and seek immediate medical attention."

    From mopping to sanitizing surfaces, certified cleaning experts know the specific techniques required to achieve hygiene in these spaces. The IJCSA-certified cleaning professionals use tried and true industry best practices. An example of a common best practice is the three-cloth method.

Certified professionals understand the importance of safe disinfectants. They know which solutions will effectively remove pathogens, while minimizing any potential harm to occupants. The correct use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is another measure ensuring the safety of the cleaner and the client and/or those within the cleaned environment.

    The key advantages of hiring a cleaning person or company with an IJCSA RCS certification extend beyond just cleanliness.
