All purpose cleaner: To keep tiles, bathroom panels, mirrors, windows and bathroom and kitchen surfaces clean, mix together half cup of vinegar, quarter cup bicarbonate of soda and 2 litres of water, and apply with a spray bottle.

Limescale remover: A solution of citric acid diluted 1 part to 10 in water is very effective at removing limescale from showers and taps. This mixture can be kept in a spray bottle and used any time.

Fabric softener: A cup of baking soda added to the washing machine wash cycle will soften fabrics such as cleaning cloths.

I really hope this information was worth it..!! Please leave a comment below.

Doing the IJCSA Green certification has taught me alot about natural solutions as opposed to chemical solutions for cleaning. As a janitorial business  owner, I've come across  cleaning products that have been labeled as ‘green’, ‘eco-friendly’ & ‘biodegradable’, these terms usually refer to products that are nontoxic, noncorrosive and noncarcinogenic, and been quite amused by the labeling.

Many people are intrigued by the concept of Eco-Friendly cleaning, of those some are skeptical just as i am– I would sometimes think and ask myself, can natural products and ingredients really clean as efficiently as chemically based products? How do natural cleaning products compare to traditional chemical products, is there really a big difference?

When looking for chemical free products I usually look for a “Green Seal” certification for more rigorous eco-friendly standards. In my investigation, i have realised that certification is voluntary, so some eco-friendly cleaning products may carry no certifications at all but are still safe and effective.

I've come up with the possible comparison of both. For chemicals, the concept of a “chemical” cleaner is a general one that involves multiple ingredients in different quantities and for different uses. While chemical cleaners certainly do the job they’re made for, they also come with plenty of possible risks. Risks that may affect you in the long term with diseases such as certain types of immune disfunctions or even caner.

As opposed to Chemical cleaners, there are Natural cleaners. It is sometimes referred to as Eco Friendly products. They offer a thorough, deep clean without the harmful odors and residue that are often left behind after harsh, commercial chemicals are used. The benefits associated with using greener, environmentally friendly cleaners go far beyond the elimination of toxic fumes. In some cases, they may actually be able to preserve the surfaces of custom-made, high-end equipment/furniture making them look their best and perform better for longer periods of time.

In my view, green cleaning products go far beyond helping the natural world we live in. They also offer benefits within our work environment that allow your staff to work more efficiently and have a better overall outlook about where they spend the majority of their days. Nontoxic cleaners will not only brighten your workplace but will also improve the atmosphere, and your life. You may even live to cross 100 years old, which is my soul's intention!!! 

Thank you.

There are many products in the world that are being used without the consumer understanding toxicity of it. Products are being promoted in a manner to let the consumers know that they are safe for use. But consumers lack the knowledge of what lies beneath the manufacturing process of these harmful products. Still today, there are products being used that hospitalize consumers or lead them to have health effects later on in life.

One of the few products that is used in everyday cleaning is chlorine. Chlorine is the household chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings in the U.S. Chlorine also ranks first in causing industrial injuries and deaths resulting from large industrial accidents. If chlorine is to be mixed with other chemicals, even with organic materials in the environment, it can create other hazardous and carcinogenic toxins. 

In the average American home, around 63 synthetic chemical products can be found. This equates to approximately 10 gallons of hazardous chemicals. These chemicals can then lead to adverse health effects. Some being irritation to the skin, eyes, nose and throat which Isopropyl alcohol does. Ammonia which can irritate the eyes and skin and cause coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. These just being a few examples. Many more chemicals are in an average household that cause serious issues that show be addressed. 

Contrary to house chemicals lies green cleaning products. By using more eco-friendly products, including green cleaning formulations and products, consumers may be able to reduce human health risks by reducing exposure to such chemicals. Some examples of natural products that can replace certain chemical products are, lemon juice, vinegar, mineral oil, baking soda, and much more. If mixed together, they can be an effective way to replace harsh chemicals and on top leave a lovely scent to your home. 

To conclude, consumers need to be aware of the dangers household products possess. Not only can they cause irritation and bothersome effects to the body short term, but can lead to serious long term effects. It'd be wise to switch over to green products for the safety of a home and environment. Great green cleaning companies can be found at Green Cleaning Service Directory.

Employers and Employees both have a great responsibility In making sure everyone is  well protected. The Importance of PPE, Personal Protective, Equipment Is mandatory and should be worn regardless of personal preferences, wether or not an area is safe. 

Utilizing, the correct equipment for the job is often neglected. Having an OSHA Control Plan is of vital importance, knowing what to do before and after exposure could save many lives. 

Training and safety, and why it comes first before the start of any job. What good is a Safety Data Book, If your employees are unfamiliar with the practices. Videos and written data is one of the best way to train.

Cleaning of healthcare facilities is performed for medical and cultural reasons. Maintaining an environment with a low pathogenic burden is essential for avoiding complications during the care and recuperation of patients .

Proper cleaning can reduce the spread of contagious viruses by 80 to 90 percent, Gerba’s studies find. Another study finds appropriate cleaning can result in a 5 percent productivity gain, which amounts to $11 billion nationwide.

Although disinfecting is standard operating procedure in healthcare, Hicks recommends using a hospital-grade disinfectant in most settings, particularly on high-traffic, high-touch surfaces. The dirtiest spots in offices, according to one study, are breakroom sink faucet handles, microwave door handles, keyboards, refrigerator door handles, water fountain buttons, vending machine buttons, computer mice and desk phones. MRSA isn’t just in hospitals. “Diseases you see in hospitals are also out there in the public, because when a person leaves the hospital they go back to work.”

If you don’t use the disinfectant properly or use a dirty towel, then you’re wasting your time  . When it comes to frequencies, ISSA recommends at least once-daily cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces. And, although cleaning for health should be a year-round strategy, there’s a good chance frequencies will need to be bumped up significantly during cold and flu season.

The cleaning industry is a great place to work especially if you are an outdoor/active person. The industry has serious potential to earn anyone exponential success. However, that comes with a price that monetary possessions can't buy, a compromised health situation. As a business owner of my own cleaning company I am so glad that I paid attention in the many OSHA courses underwent during my tenure in the biopharma and human donated tissue environments. The one thing always stood out was the universal precaution of treating all human blood and certain bodily fluids as if they are infectious.

With this in mind, the importance of knowing bloodborne pathogens are critical to every cleaning employee and staff. It is of paramount importance that workers and staff first become aware of their environment and what bloodborne pathogens they can be exposed and or at risk to. Everyone gets excited when starting a new job and many at times want to dive right into the payroll aspects of the company but can totally miss the core of the entire orientation. In my opinion, is the occupational exposure and safety presentation during orientation are the most important slides. When it comes to knowing how a company handles OSHA regulations related to protecting employee health in the workplace is huge for me. 

Workers/staff must first know and understand what are bloodborne pathogens, become familiar with the types and know their definitions to say the least. Employees must realize they have a responsibility to protect themselves from bloodborne exposure through thorough company provided OSHA training and recurring training follow ups. Knowing the risks and what procedures to follow and who to contact in case of an exposure should become second nature to any employee/staff. Employees should know the importance of having their employer provide access to things like an "exposure control plan", ensuring that labels are complicit to OSHA's standards, etc. Employees should have a clear understanding of course objectives such as, occupational exposure, transmission of germs whether they are airborne, respiratory, direct contact, fecal/oral, and or blood contact.

When these important aspects of bloodborne pathogen are understood employees can Segway into further becoming aware of control mechanisms (knowing safe practices including proper use of PPE), preventative measures (rule of thumb.....don't store food in biohazard storage fridge compartments where blood is kept), house keeping rules (cleaning work areas based upon a routine schedule), and post exposure such as, (reporting near misses, incidents to supervisor and having them document the event(s). Every employee, staff member, and employer have a role to play to keep each other safe and protected from bloodborne pathogens transmission in the workplace.
