    One way being green cleaning certified will benefit my business is by expanding my target audience. Often times companies have some focus on being eco-friendlier, whether they utilize reusable products, recycle, or simply condone carpooling. A lot of people and businesses attempt to take an extra step in preservation. Obtaining this certification could bring some positive attention my way from eco-friendly companies, therefore bringing in more business. It will be advertised that we deliver more of a personal experience because I am able to tailor our cleaning methods to the needs of our clientele. 

    An additional benefit from obtaining this certification is delivering a better moral to clientele and their businesses. Whether I am cleaning someone’s personal house or an office, I know my formulations and products will account to sustainability and health quality preservation of its occupants. The use of green products can correlate with higher attendance percentages, productivity, better air quality along with cleaner water. The IJCSA Green Cleaning Certification could be what separates us from other local cleaning businesses. 

    Aside from health sustainability, green cleaning products will benefit me from a convenient and financial perspective. Most green products cost significantly less than regular cleaning products and are used a lot more frequently than what we think. A lot of these homemade cleaning substitutions can already be found around one’s household. For example, after reading the IJCSA study material I realized that I have a lot of these cleaning substitutions sitting around my house (i.e. baking soda, unscented soap, lemons, white vinegar and corn starch). I do not have everything on the list of formulation ingredients, but I realized that I have quite a few. Also, this will save me money initially because I do not have to make a separate trip to the store to buy these things. There are a few convenient and financial benefits to green cleaning.

    Altogether, obtaining this IJCSA Green Cleaning Certification will benefit my business by attracting more clientele, delivering a better moral and environment in a commercial setting, and also save me some money. Many companies look to recycle, go green, and become eco-friendlier. With the use of green cleaning, they can take the next step in that direction because of the environmentally friendly ingredients and products. Every cleaning service does not offer or include green cleaning, so this will separate my services from competitors, therefore opening up my target audience. My services and techniques will also account to healthier living, which will play in the favor of its occupants. If I am cleaning in a commercial setting, there will be less chemicals in the air because my products are “Green.” These formulations will increase productivity levels and make less people sick. I also will be saving money, because a lot of these ingredients are sustainable or multi-purpose. A lot of cleaning mixes require the same ingredients with slight differences, so I am able to have multiple purposes for one product. I am also able to save because most of these ingredients are sitting around my household already. I am easily able to mix up my formulations without the need to take an extra trip to the store.

    "Knowledge is power."  This statement certainly applies to being aware of bloodborne pathogens.  They can have an effect on anyone at any time and it is important for as many people as possible to know, and understand, what is involved and how to deal with bloodborne pathogens.

    For anyone working in an environment where there is the potential for bloodborne pathogens, this information is vital!  It is nice to know that the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard has widened out to include, not just helath care and hospital employees, but really anyone who may come into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials.

    This training is done in a simple, easy to understand format, that everyone should make a part of their knowledge and understanding.

    There was a time when we believed that this type of training was only suitable for medical personnel. However, as we got deeper into the cleaning business we realized that was not the case.  Our company offers cleaning services to the elderly as well as other persons who are home bound due to illness or other physical disabilities and this really opened our eyes as to the necessity of this training. Cleaning staff are exposed to many contaminants on a daily basis and this training ensured they took the necessary steps to prevent the transmission of such.

    The simple action of replacing the trash bag can be just as hazardous as removing the soiled bed linen of a sick person. We had to ensure that our staff was trained in this area as their health as well as ours is a priority. This type of training literally means the difference between life and death regardless of the time factor. We had to be certain that no staff member was at risk for contracting or transmitting any type of illness and this could only be done through the training offered by the IJCSA.

    The knowledge we gained from this certification will be a lifelong adaptation as this can be used in any situation and not just in homes of visibly sick persons.  Due to modern medicine it’s hard to tell who is actually sick and so we have to take precautions in every aspect of our job. Joining the IJCSA was one of the best decisions we made as a company and we can envision the future impact this will have on a whole.

    • Members at International Janitorial Cleaning Services Association (IJCSA) advocate the use of green cleaning methods and products. With a focus on health and environment preservation, green cleaning consists of cleaning products that do not contain toxic chemicals. IJCSA members provide a consumer-friendly service through a consistent brand experience and allowing product information to be easily accessible. Consumers will be less concerned about health risks after receiving services involving green cleaning due to the lower degree of liability it entails. 

      The IJCSA is consumer friendly because of its health benefits. Us members in the IJCSA cut down on health risks with the eco-friendly use of green cleaning. Since these green formulations have little to no toxins, exposure to these hazardous chemicals are significantly less. Also, this can account to better air quality, cleaner water, and less pollution overall. 

      Aside from creating a healthier lifestyle, the IJCSA is consumer friendly because of its website. Our website allows a simple way for someone to seek the green cleaning janitorial service they are searching for.  With the search and browse feature on the website, users are allowed to find the specific service they need in an efficient manner. This website also allows a simpler and more easy method to network. Personally, I have already found a few janitorial services on the website that I am in contact with for business advice. Overall, the IJCSA website is a great tool for businesses seeking and providing the service.

    In more recent years in the cleaning history, the importance of implementing a green cleaning program has been highlighted to many. A green cleaning program promotes using cleaning products that are less harmful to cleaning employees, building occupants, and the environment. In Sir Speedy Cleaning Service Inc., we will be implementing a green cleaning program first by educating the employees about what the green cleaning is. We will be holding training and classes for the employees to learn about that the green cleaning is, and how we are adopting the green cleaning to the company. We will hold mandatory meetings and additional meetings, if necessary, for all employees to fully understand the benefits and why we are implementing the green cleaning.

    The widely known benefits of the green cleaning is less harmful nature of green cleaning program and products. Many chemicals cause health issues if used improperly and over a long period of time. Some health side effects include skin irritation, cognition damage, and respiratory damage. Using the green cleaning program can help reduce the side effects that come from using chemicals while cleaning. Also, the use of the green cleaning benefits the environment by using non-toxic, biodegradable chemicals. There are much more benefits of the green cleaning that can be explored in near future.
