    To successfully implement a day cleaning program, three main groups need to be on board, the manager, the department or service contractor, and those employed by the service contractor. 

    It is also very important to fully understand the cleaning task and schedule necessary before implementing a cleaning program.

    For example government offices may have special privacy needs, making some areas off limits during set times of the day and or week and hospitals may require the use of various cleaning products and practices in different areas of the facility.

    Before implementing a structured program cleaners must evaluate the facility and outline the needs of the property manager while minimizing the impact on building occupants.

    In the modern world, climate change and environmental preservation has more importance and prevalence than ever before. As people are beginning to see the consequences of pollution both in the environment as a whole and in their own personal health, it has become important for janitorial services, such as those found here, to address the concerns of maintaining cleanliness without sacrificing eco-friendliness or health.

    Yanan Eco-Friendly Cleaning Services is located in an area whose culture has emphasized conservation and green living for years. As such, clients looking for cleaning services know the value of green cleaning. With green cleaning certification and the knowledge afforded to us from it, our business can address these issues successfully.

    But green cleaning goes beyond business; it helps reduce our impact on the environment. Standard industrial cleaners contain chemicals that will inevitably end up in our oceans or our trash fills and negatively impact the planet. Ammonia, a chemical found in many industrial and household general cleaners, adds nitrogen to the environment, which can have toxic effects on plants, fish, and animals. Alkyl benzene, commonly found in surface cleaners, is very slow to biodegrade and produces carcinogens and reproductive tocins like benzene during the manufacturing process. Phosphorus, which can be found in toilet bowl cleaners, can upset the balance of water-based ecosystems. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and ammonia have all been labeled as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by the EPA, which both attributes to smog and negatively impacts local ecosystems.

    Our health, too, can improve with the implementation of green cleaning. Natural cleaning solutions and eco-friendly products tend to be less harsh than standard chemicals, which have been found by the EPA to irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin upon exposure. People with asthma especially can be affected by the harsh fumes and smells. VOCs, the EPA has found, can also impact indoor air quality and expose businesses and homes to higher levels of pollutants. Switching to green products will improve the health of both our team and our clients.

    Using Eco-friendly or “Green” Cleaning Products and techniques to Clean is not only beneficial for my clients and their families and pets, but it also benefits myself, my employees and the environment. Green cleaning companies are committed to using only the safest products and most efficient cleaning methods. More and more people are becoming aware of the harmful chemicals found in most common household cleaners and are turning to Green Cleaning products and methods.

    There are many benefits to being a Green Cleaning Certified company. Using a Green Cleaning program reduces exposure to toxic chemicals. This is proven to reduce the risk of asthma and allergies. It improves the overall indoor air quality by reducing airborne dust and chemicals. This will reduce sick time for me and my staff as well as my clients and increase work performance.

    By implementing high efficiency Green Cleaning methods, overall cleaning costs can be reduced increasing my bottom line. It includes improved training programs that stress safety which reduces work place accidents and injuries.

    Cleaning your carpet is an essential way of maintaining clean air in your home. Carpets are part of our homes and are often not properly cleaned. They contain harmful allergens that can become problematic and life threatening when breathed by children and pets. Having your carpets cleaned regularly can become an economical way to preserve and maintain your flooring investment.

    One way to effectively clean your carpets is using a carpet extractor. Now I know that having a carpet extractor is not exactly high on your things to purchase and with that being said there’s a large list of certified well trained carpet cleaning companies in most areas. Here at the IJCSA you can find a qualified company to help clean and protect your home and carpet. Cleaning your carpet regularly helps with air quality, releases trapped airborne pollutants that are infiltrated into your home carpet.

    In my years of experience I have always tried to follow rules when in customer service situations, but one rule has always been in the top three: First impressions are everything. In a cleaning or janitorial environment my job skills can only take me so far. I believe to truly reach my goals of being the absolute best professional I can be, learning or improving my customer service skills will ensure a quality and long lasting relationship with my customers, which in turn benefits my life and the life of my business.

    The quality of training provided through IJCSA benefits anyone willing and ready to take on new challenges in life and grow their business and livelihood. From carpet care to customer service to insurance, they have it all. I am very fortunate to be a member of IJCSA and look forward to the successful adventures that lie ahead.

         Good customer service means helping customers efficiently, in a friendly manner. It’s essential to be able to handle issues for customers and do your best to ensure they are satisfied. Providing good service is one of the most important things that can set your business apart from the others of its kind.

          In my experience, good customer service is always being positive and willing to assist your customers to the best of your ability. I remember one customer in particular, from early in my career, who I spent a tremendous amount of time with, helping to outfit her home office with electronics. She was working with a limited budget, but wanted to start with quality merchandise she could add to as her business grew. She thanked me and took the time to send a note to my supervisor the next day. I don’t think I realized until that point how much people appreciate good customer service.

          IJCSA put their customer as their main priority and always make sure that they get the best service and satisfaction expected from their respected companies. Professionalism is also practice to create a good first impression to the customers of the company.

    We at GME Cleaning Solutions understand the importance of offering our clients Green Cleaning Options. Green cleaning benefits the health of the employees, our clients, and the environment. We will implement this by using a three-step approach. 

    These three steps include using only Green products, properly training staff, and using the most efficient cleaning practices and equipment to reduce waste and chemical use. In addition to strictly following the three step approach, we will be using recycled paper products, microfiber cloths, mop heads, and dusters.
