    Healthcare facilities must take their cleanliness seriously. Many germs and pathogens pass through them daily, and with the right cleaning products and methods, you can fight against certain bacteria and illness. But, these methods could also be used in other businesses and facilities. Whether its your workplace, a restaurant , or even peoples homes, you can use these cleaning methods to make that environment healthier. Having a clean environment can increase employee productivity, reduce the spread of disease, and improve a businesses reputation. 

    One very important practice that professional medical cleaners use is the appropriate personal protective equipment , otherwise known as PPE. This includes gloves, gowns, goggles, face masks, and respirators. Depending on how difficult the cleaning job is, use the appropriate PPE to protect yourself and  decrease the spread of infection. This would also be useful for commercial and residential businesses. A grand number of people go out and go to different stores everyday, it is very important for any public space to make sure they are cleaning and disinfecting thoroughly. You must protect yourself from all of these different type of pathogens. You can't help make a space clean and healthier if you are sick yourself. 

    Another important practice professional medical cleaners use is thoroughly sanitizing and disinfecting. Sanitizing is the act of killing bacteria on a surface using chemicals while disinfecting is the act of killing viruses and bacteria using chemicals.You must use the correct type of sanitizer and disinfectant that your health department recommends. The most common types of disinfectants are chlorine, iodine, and alcohol. Different situations call for different products. After being done with any cleaning job, make sure to thoroughly disinfect your cleaning utensils as well as anything you brought with you to the job. This will help decrease the possibility of cross contamination. 

    The first priority of a business should be the heath of its workers and customers. We must do everything in our power to stop the spread of bacteria and infection. Viruses and bacteria can be spread in many different ways. They can be spread by breathing certain air, by food and water, contact with the sick, and even animals. Certain viruses are serious and life threatening. With the right cleaning methods, the risk of illness being spread is decreased. This also means less sick days from employees and more productivity for the business.

    The use of everyday cleaning chemicals can have detrimental effects on our health and the environment. Many of these products contain harsh chemicals that can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can result in chronic health conditions, including asthma, allergies, and even cancer.

    Furthermore, the toxins released by these chemicals can pollute the air, water, and soil, leading to environmental degradation and harm to wildlife. It is important to acknowledge that the impact of cleaning chemicals on our environment is not limited to the immediate effects of their use. The long-term effects can also be severe, as they can persist in the environment and accumulate over time, causing widespread damage. It is imperative that we take action to reduce our reliance on harmful chemicals and transition towards more sustainable alternatives.

    On the other hand, natural green products are made from non-toxic ingredients that are safe for both humans and the environment. They are typically derived from renewable resources and have minimal impact on the planet. Green cleaning products are just as effective as their chemical counterparts and can be used to clean and disinfect surfaces without any negative side effects. They are also often packaged in eco-friendly containers, further reducing their impact on the environment.

    Making the switch to green cleaning products can not only improve our health and wellbeing but also help protect the planet. By reducing our exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants, we can create a safer and healthier environment for ourselves and future generations.

    We should all make an effort to choose green cleaning products over traditional cleaning chemicals. Even small changes in our daily habits can make a big difference in protecting our planet. Let's work towards a cleaner and safer environment for ourselves and future generations.

    There is no question about the fact that Medical Cleaning Practices are not the same as commercial and residential ones. Homes and offices are usually low traffic areas with mostly healthy people while medical facilities are more likely to have a high traffic base predominantly by sick people.

    When cleaning commercial or residential building the focus rest on the appearance of the facility. When it comes to medical facilities the focus is to reduce the bio-load (dust, dirt, and grime), clean and disinfect the place instead of on the appearance.

    Part of the question on the table is “how to implement medical cleaning practices into other residential and commercial cleaning situation”. It has been proven that most workplaces are one of the unhealthiest places you can inhabit just because we touch a lot of other different surfaces that also has been touched by many other people. Home environment is not different than a workplace specially when it comes to areas like kitchen and bathrooms.

    Cleaning and disinfect high-touch surfaces and objects in your home and in your office more frequently may help kill the bacteria we pick up during the time we spend in this pleases. The practice of washing our hands and using hand sanitizer (medical facilities cleaning standard) can also be applied at home and at work place. It will help significantly to reduce spreading harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses.

    At IJCSA we value protecting the population and the world from harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses. To prevent infections and avoid spreading them it is recommended to follow these simple tactics: avoid close contact with people who are sick; cover coughs and sneezes; avoid touching your face; stay home if you're sick; clean and disinfect surfaces that are touched often and avoid contaminated food and water. Educating the population about these practices is the best way to win the battle against harmful bacteria, germs, & viruses while reducing the risk of infection.

    Implementing medical cleaning practices into other residential and commercial cleaning situations is a proactive approach to maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Firstly, it is important to prioritize regular and thorough cleaning of high-touch surfaces. Just like in medical facilities, these surfaces can harbor germs and viruses and become potential sources of infection. Examples of high-touch surfaces in residential and commercial settings include doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and shared equipment. By incorporating disinfection protocols for these surfaces, we can help prevent the spread of pathogens and reduce the risk of illness.

    Another key aspect of medical cleaning practices is the use of appropriate cleaning products and disinfectants. Ensuring that the cleaning products used are effective against a broad spectrum of germs and viruses is vital. Look for disinfectants that are EPA-approved and have proven efficacy against common pathogens. Additionally, following proper instructions for use, including contact time and dilution ratios, is essential to maximize the effectiveness of the disinfectants.

    Furthermore, implementing proper hand hygiene practices is crucial in all cleaning situations. Encouraging cleaning employees or residents to wash their hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds can significantly reduce the spread of germs. Providing hand sanitizers in easily accessible areas is also beneficial, especially in commercial settings with high foot traffic. Hand hygiene should be emphasized not only for the cleaning staff but for everyone in the residential or commercial space.

    Lastly, training and education play a significant role in successfully implementing medical cleaning practices. Providing training to cleaning staff or residents on proper cleaning techniques, the correct use of cleaning products, and the importance of hygiene practices can greatly improve the overall cleanliness and health of the environment. Regularly updating cleaning protocols and staying informed about the latest recommendations from health authorities can ensure that cleaning practices remain up to date and effective.

    In conclusion, implementing medical cleaning practices in residential and commercial settings can greatly contribute to maintaining a clean and healthy environment. By focusing on regular cleaning of high-touch surfaces, using effective disinfectants, promoting proper hand hygiene, and providing training and education, we can create a safer and more hygienic space for residents, employees, and visitors.

    Residential cleaning is the cleaning of houses, apartments, condos, and areas where a single family, two bedroom homes, town houses etc. These areas can be full of bacteria, germs and possibly viruses that can cause individuals to get extremely ill. That is why it's very important to keep these areas clean, especially if there are children or elderly because they have a higher risk of getting infected with an illness such as germs and viruses. Although these microorganisms are extremely small to see, we fail to realize how quickly they can spread and create an atmosphere that is at risk. It's most significant to keep an area where lots of children or elderly are clean so that the population can't get afflicted with any types of illnesses. 

    On the other hand, commercial cleaning is the cleaning of areas like schools, offices, archiving facilities, and many areas where many employees work. Most commercial areas have a high rate of germs and bacteria due to the higher rate of population, that's why it is very critical to keep areas like these clean and organized. The areas that are considered highly touch surfaces include; doorknobs, light switches, countertops, faucets etc, and are contaminated with germs and viruses. These germs and viruses can cause workers and customers coming in and out of the facility to get extremely ill. 

    That's why it's important to implement medical cleaning to residential and commercial areas, although medical cleaning is much more different there still can be many infectious areas that need to be deeply cleaned and accessed.  One of the ways that medical cleaning practices can be implemented is by following the similar guidelines of cleanliness, hygiene, and disinfection. Using the appropriate cleaning products and disinfectants that are beneficial and extremely effective against all viruses and bacteria. Not only that, but I truly believe that the most proper sanitation of your cleaning equipment like mops, vacuums will better assist you and your surrounding areas to maintain a hygienic environment. 

    In conclusion, cleaning is extremely important in all fields and buildings since it helps maintain and create a much safer and disinfected area for workers and customers coming to the facility. Great customer satisfaction comes a long way, and a clean atmosphere helps make it look much more professional and cozier. Customers focus on a clean environment since it gives a much higher impression and professionalism and an extreme commitment to quality. Using chemicals and other equipment to disinfect areas in an environment can implement medical cleaning practices, this will also help prevent germs or diseases.
