    It is common nowadays to hear on the news the topic of our environment.  Is the subject being discussed because it is an otherwise slow news day? No.  The topic of the environment is being brought up because there is an increasing interest among politicians and private citizens all over the world in the subject matter of our Mother Earth, of the status of our environment, and of the effects of our actions that affect this environment.

    Part of taking responsibility for the damage that humans impose on the environment is changing the behaviors that we CAN control, and which can make a huge difference over time.  Green cleaning is an excellent example of such a behavior, and running a company that offers cleaning services in this responsible way makes a business owner such as myself proud to participate in the world movement of not only making strides to preserve our Earth, but also in taking steps that will provide a healthier living environment to my Clients, to their families, and to others.

    Running a business, especially a small to medium size business, requires constantly pursuing a stellar reputation.  In the cleaning business, making sure that the actual cleaning job is done is extremely important, but ensuring that the customer is 100% satisfied is the number one priority. 

    When advertising as a green company, the organization members have to know how to green clean.  Otherwise, clients who expect the use of certain cleaning agents, and also non-use of some others, may be disappointed if the wrong products are used.  Green cleaning certification provides the information that will allow cleaning companies to choose the correct materials to green clean.

    In addition, being a green cleaning certified company is a feel-good step for business owners.  Helping people with their cleaning projects while contributing to saving our Earth is an impactful feeling.  It makes me a a business owner feel like I am contributing to protecting the environment and to the global movement of saving Earth and our civilization from its doom.

    Finally, green certification has helped me to learn about harmful chemicals that I as an individual am now staying away from to help my own self.  I do not want to get sick, and the certification has taught me about specific chemicals to look for in cleaning materials and in other items, that can cause various ailments.  I now know to avoid those chemicals, and this will have a positive effect on my own personal health and on the health of my family.

    There are many carpet cleaning services out there. To find one that serves all your needs can be daunting. First you should look up services in your area. Decide what kind of cleaning you need. Next you should call and ask with method of cleaning they use. Dry cleaning or steam (hot water extraction). Use the method which you will fit your needs. 

    In the Wisconsin area there are a few like Sunshine cleaning company in oak creek or Oso cleaning in Riverfalls. Ask questions about what services you need and what they provide. Residential or commercial carpets have an impact on how they will approach treating the carpet.

    It is important for cleaning employees and staff to know about bloodborne pathogens because anyone exposed to them are at risk for serious or life-threatening illnesses. Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans. The pathogens include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.  

    An employer is required by law to provide employees with bloodborne pathogens training.  This will ensure that the employee understands how to use safe practices when handling potentially hazardous materials such as blood, vomit, and bodily fluids.  It protects workers who can reasonably be anticipated to come into contact with them as a result of doing their job duties. 

    Once the employee is trained on bloodborne pathogens, they will understand the employers responsibility to provide them with personal protective equipment, hepatitis vaccinations and post exposure treatment free of charge to them.  They will also understand the steps to take to report a potential exposure to the employer.

    Customer Service starts with the first interaction with the customer. Responding to their request for services, quotes or information. Spending the time to answer all questions that explain the services and how the equipment is going to be used. Service includes any questions about cleaning products and drying times. The Service continues on the job with consideration for the customers personal property and any special needs. As the service is being performed explain in detail answers to any customer questions. Safety is also part of the Service plan with clear instructions to keep children or pets, and everyone safe. Service continues with an explanation of the bill for services with contact numbers or emails for any follow-up about the job. Scheduling future cleaning appointments to maintain their services is also part of the Service. And then most important is the follow-up call that the Customer is Happy with the Services!!!

    Bloodborne pathogens:  infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause disease and kill humans. 

    Cleaning technicians need to be educated on human bodily fluids as they can contain very infectious and deadly diseases known as pathogens. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). One should always assume that bodily fluids contain bloodborne pathogens and with proper training a cleaning tech can avoid contamination to themselves and others. Proper handling of waste material can keep you and others safe from these contaminants.

    Knowing how to handle waste material by using absorbents, spatulas, and other mechanical tools to collect bodily fluids and reducing exposure by learning, knowing, and practicing safe handling techniques is imperative to the safety of the cleaning technician performing the work.

    Understanding the need to wear Person Protection Equipment such as eye protection, gloves, face masks can save a life. Making sure not to splash, splatter, or spread the fluids can prevent accidental contamination to open mount nose or sores.  Cleaning technicians must be diligent in following these personal safety precautions to protect their person health as there are no second chances when it comes to deadly diseases.

    Dispose of materials in proper containers, marked bags, and proper receptacles and do not manually compact, squeeze or over handle any means of disposal container this can keep the cleaning technicians and others who may encounter these containers safe.

    Grandma used baking soda to remove foul smells in the washing. It whitened and brightened our laundry for generations. How did the "Modern Woman" (at the time..;) decide that new laundry detergents must be better because they were "New and Modern." is unknown. However, It probably made sense that when you bought a new machine or just ran out of your tried and true, you should try a new and improved product. One thing is true, television was just available in the homes and product marking was at historical highs. Over the years it seems that the availability of premixed soaps and ready to use packs, liquid options etc. took the place on the shelf where our baking soda and vinegar once resided. It was several years ago when I became aware of the natural powers of everyday items and household staples for use as handy, safe and effective cleaners. 

    The truth is, it took a teenage boy to set me straight about cleaners. He was taking my living skills class and we were studying laundry tips. He educated the whole class about common stain removal solutions, bathroom cleaners, and green alternatives that are better for the earth and our health. Come to find out he gained his knowledge from his amazing foster Mom. After my education, I switched many of my household chemicals out for recycled or refillable alternatives. I love the idea of doing my small part to help out the ozone and limiting my families exposure to harmful toxins in our home.

    Excellence in customer service is the seed in which everything in janitorial service/commercial cleaning blooms from. Unlike some businesses in cleaning I want to be able to communicate with my customers to get their vision and then to carry it out to ensure success. When their is a problem my  experiences in the past has taught me a lot about not assuming, but to be open minded and ready to listen.  IJCSA Members are a team of individuals that are pursuing that excellence.
