    It's imperative that we in the cleaning business understand the importance of being knowledgeable about bloodborne pathogens. Pathogens are disease causing microorganisms present in human blood and most bodily fluids. With the potential for these fluids to carry dangerous pathogens, we must take what's known as universal precautions to protect ourselves from contracting a potentially dangerous and deadly disease.

    This means we should always assume that blood and bodily fluids are contaminated and that we should follow proper protective practices when handling a cleanup or exposure. Be aware that we can be most commonly infected when pathogens come in contact with a person's mucus membrane like the nose or mouth, or when there is a break in the skin. This is why wearing proper protective gear is so important.

    Taking approved training and being knowledgeable about the hazards of bloodborne pathogens while cleaning is important in helping to create a safe work environment for us and our staff.

      We now live in a time of uncertainty, where no one knows any one truly.  This comes down to the point of keeping clean.  It is extremely important to practice proper and safe measures when dealing with any kind of cleaning or emergency response.  Its not just cleaning, put on gloves and go.  There is a safety protocol to follow as well as a step by step guide to protect employees, and owners.

      With cleaning normally comes a punch list.  Step 1- completion of job.  Each punch list should start with what type of clean are we dealing with, what is the severity, what caused it.  Ultimately, gloves and mask are first thing.  Also depending on what is being cleaned and the process may require extra PPE.  But gloves and a face mask are key at a minimum.

      We don't walk into a job without proper safety gear.  With virus's and disease such as HIV, HBV, Hepatitis, and so forth some things are very important.  Such as not pushing down on trash, and being cautious about tight areas as theres no way of telling if there is a syringe or something that can puncture skin.  If someone else is sick or there are body fluids present, sanitization is key.  In a situation such as that each staff member would need to be suited with PPE gear to prevent catching or transferring something, or getting injured or sick themselves.

      We as people are social, with that comes the inherent risk of cross contamination.  To prevent this all staff should be trained in exercising protocols from beginning to decontamination of themselves before getting into a vehicle, eating, drinking, smoking etc.

    When in the cleaning business, it is best to be versatile in all areas of cleaning and disinfecting. This will not only help to build the business, it will also demonstrate the magnitude of knowledge that may be needed if the company wish to expand the service to other areas. 

    Most cleaning companies just clean and when asked to remove stains or bad order from a room, they may not think that the carpet could be the reason for the odor from spills or dropped food. You providing a knowledgeable and professional service.
