    Green cleaning refers the use of environmentally friendly and toxin free ingredients. When you clean green, you are choosing great products with the environment and health or yourself and surrounding people in mind. One of the greatest benefits is the reduction of health risks.

    When you use chemicals to clean, you are risk getting irritations in body areas such as eye, nose, lungs, and throat. Certain cleaning chemicals have also been marked as carniogens, that cause cancer and other organ related problems. Switching to green cleaning avoids these scenarios all together.

    Green cleaning products are also much better for the environment and ozone layer. They produce no gases or fumes that are hazordous and can break down into natural matter over time and even packaging can be biodegradable as well.

    Cleaning in general drastically decreases the amount of dirt and germs in an environment. It also boosts morale and comfort while bringing a sense of organization and solemn for any time or endeavor. When you clean with products that are also good for the environment, for yourself, and are free of toxins, you are putting your health and well being (and others) first.

    The importance of cleaning employees and staff knowing about bloodborne pathogens can be summarized into the following points. Firstly the importance of having a cleaning staff in any type of business is detrimental to the daily function and success of any business. The reason being that if the workplace is not regularly cleaned and disinfected you are at a higher risk of your employees becoming sick or contracting a virus. 

    Secondly the importance of training and informing your staff of bloodborne pathogens is a great way to contain any possible future outbreaks. Training all staff up to the OSHA Gold Standard will insure that all employees are practicing the same rules and regulations for handling hazardous material. Using the same training will help third party vendors in identifying which bags contain hazardous material and also what type of hazardous material is inside the bag. 

    Finally to summarize the importance of proper training and hiring of a cleaning crew I would add the following . The health of your staff and yourself should always be a top priority in your business. Adequately training your staff to help prevent these deadly diseases and viruses from spreading any further is the first step. Constant retraining and refresher courses should be taken to keep employees up to date with the latest information required to keep their workplace and environment sanitized and make sure they are using proper procedures to remove and clean up any bloodborne pathogens.

    For many people having their home  cleaned by a mold cleaning professional is a must. There are numerous benefits associated with hiring a certified and licensed mold cleaning professional. 

    Reduce Health Risk: The health risks associated with prolonged exposure to mold are numerous. Having your home cleaned by a professional will ensure that you are living in a much healthier environment. You cannot put a price on your health and continued exposure to mold is dangerous. Despite what others may tell you no one can tell if a particular mold has mycotoxins or could cause you, or your family, any health problems. To know this stuff mold needs to be tested and you must see your doctor.  

     People are looking for professional : When a professional comes to their home to clean for mold, they know exactly what they are looking for because they are experienced in the business. Many people think they can take care of cleaning mold on their own but no matter how hard you try, your cleaning of mold cannot compare to that of a professional. Proper mold remediation does not just contain the cleaning of the mold but also includes getting airborne mold spores down to acceptable levels with the proper HEPA filtration equipment. 

    Stop it at the root: There is no use in having your home cleaned for mold if you can’t find the root cause. A professional will not only clean for mold, but they are also able to diagnose the root cause of the problem. Finding the root cause of the growth is the first step to completely eliminating mold growth in your home.

            Bloodborne pathogens are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood, and can cause disease in humans. Cleaning professionals can be exposed to these pathogens while performing basic duties such as trash removal, handling laundry, or cleaning up after a sick person. Taking proper precautions when performing such duties can prevent serious illness, or even death. 

            Being exposed to bloodborne pathogens leaves cleaning professionals, and others, at risk of contracting lifelong diseases. Any person facing potential exposure should be aware of the hazards and risks, in addition to knowing and applying proper precautions to avoid contracting disease. Most occupational exposure occurs when the pathogens come in contact with mucous membranes. Knowing this and the precautions that should be taken to avoid exposure when cleaning can save lives.

         Some precautions that should be taken to reduce, or even eliminate, the potential of contracting diseases such as HIV or HBV include: wearing gloves and eye protection, being careful not to compress bags when removing trash, and being careful to clean up and dispose of fluids and contaminates in a way that will not cause any splashing or spattering. It is also very important to follow the universal precaution recommending that blood and certain other bodily fluids be considered potentially infectious, and that infection control precautions be taken to minimize the risk of exposure.

         An effective way to reduce or eliminate contracting disease from bloodborne pathogens is by teaching cleaning professionals and others who may encounter blood or other bodily fluids about precautions that can and should be taken for their own safety, as well as those around them.

    Bloodborne Pathogens maybe the single most cause of disease migration throughout the world. The transmission of diseases may also be the easiest form of control that we have. Education of course is always the step in the right direction. Saying that I must point out this is the most difficult part,

    Education is simple, yet most of us think that it must be formal in its approach. In order to educate we all must start early with our children, nieces  and nephews, brother and sisters, and people in our own environment, i.e... community. There is no expense that should be enquired for this process, its simple pass on knowledge.

    The two paragraphs above lead me too this simple conclusion, act as if all the objects that you handle are contaminated. Use PPE and pay attention to what you are doing. Wash your hands as our parents taught us. Furthermore if you working an environment that you know deals with medical waste, and treatment, then do your part for the world and your family.
