Your home is your investment and when looking for a cleaning service you should find a company that is IJCSA certified.  At Beach Home Cleanings we have taken all the courses to become a certified residential house cleaner.  To earn this certificate we were taught the correct way to clean different surfaces, the safety of using chemicals and the over all expectations of a residential house cleaner.  

If you are in the market for a house cleaner then you should check out the IJCSA Member Directory for a list of great residential house cleaners that have taken the extra step to protect your investment.

Healthcare facilities require a higher standard level of cleaning than regular homes and offices as medical facilities have a higher concentration of germs and viruses, as well as risks of exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

While the risks are higher in healthcare settings, homes and offices still contain the same risks. People come home and go to work sick, they bleed, and everything else that's found in medical settings. Therefore, it is best for cleaning professionals to use similar medical cleaning training and practices for cleaning non-medical areas. The same precautions and methods protect cleaners, workers, and residents.

Harmful bacteria, germs, and viruses are present all around us. We all must take care of ourselves by being informed and making wise choices to minimize our exposure and chances of getting sick or a disease. It's also imperative to use a certified cleaning company that understands and addresses these risks with proper cleaning technique, like WestStar Building Services here

By taking proper precautions and using medical cleaning procedures in non-medical facilities like homes and offices we are less likely to get sick and are keeping ourselves healthy which allows us to bring our best work and self to others.

Good customer service is very essential in business.It helps you  create more customers and the more customers the more revenue you get.

First in order to understand why it’s important to know about handling bloodborne pathogens, it’s a good idea to understand the potential dangers.  So what exactly are Bloodborne pathogens?  Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms in the human blood that can cause disease in humans. OSHA defines blood to mean human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood. [1]

Now that we know what bloodborne pathogens are, why is it important to have knowledge of handling them? The CDC estimates that 5.6 million workers in the health care industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other diseases. [2]. You and your colleagues are likely included in that number and are working in an industry where exposure and potential risks of infections are very high and possibly life changing. In order to reduce these risk, a significant and comprehensive focus on educating yourself and knowing what it is you may be exposed to and how to prevent injury, infection, and possibly death must take place. 

Not only does knowing about bloodborne pathogens help reduce risk related to exposure, infection, and death, it also helps foster better decision making and efficiency on the job at handling scenarios that arise. This gives employees the confidence needed to handle such task and puts customers at ease in knowing they have hired someone that is properly training and can get the job done correctly. It is not only important for employees and companies to know about blood-borne pathogens it is of upmost urgency and at great consequence that they educate themselves on this topic when working in these types of environments.
