Cleaning employees are essential, and perhaps more recognized now than ever before. However, that recognition comes with great responsibility. To deliver a complete service that decontaminates and at the same time ensures the safety of the staff and the ones at the facilities, it is imperative that staff is trained and that they understand the risks of not knowing. Cleaning employees, including management and the ones doing the work must understand bloodborne pathogens and how to reduce exposure.

Staff must be trained and understand protocols that will minimize any risk of infection, contamination and injuries come to an extreme high risk and not understanding it becomes a liability for the involved. OSHA provides the knowledge needed to stay safe and complete the job that follows the prescribed standards. This knowledge more than ever, is the key to contain spread of viruses and cleaning employees are in the front lines to reduce the spread. 

Training staff and establishing protocols will ensure that people are safe and that the injuries reduce in the workplace. These protocols also make people accountable, it is hard or almost impossible to do a good job when there is no knowledge. People need to know what they are supposed to do and how to do it properly in order to stay safe. We must understand that our world has forever changed due to our new environmental challenges and the new awareness of contamination by people everywhere. Us, as the cleaning industry have a major responsibility to abide by these standards and keep contamination controlled.

Carpet Cleaning is an essential service to include in any cleaning business. Proper Carpet Cleaning helps maintain a clean and sanitized environment and that includes soft materials that attract dirt, bacteria and much more.  

Professional Carpet Cleaning Companies understand that is more than just removing dirt from carpets its about using the proper solutions to extend the life of the carpets, maintain them clean and free of bacteria or other pathogens, Carpets are like filters they attract dirt, dust, dander, hair, bacterias and more. Therefore we must clean them regularly to keep them free of anything that can be harmful.

     Understanding the importance of safely identifying, handling and cleaning anything that may contain a bloodborne pathogen is extremely critical for any cleaning service or service provider.  OSHA, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration has developed a specific outline of training for all people working with these types of hazards.  These guidelines help not keep workers safe, but those that are in contact and around these types of hazards as well.

     When considering how to handle these possible hazards, OSHA also recommends companies and/or cleaning service companies develop a plan for handling and training staff how to safely navigate these pathogens.  It is required for employers' to update these plans yearly and to also make them available to all.  Futhermore, employer's are also responsible for covering the cost of HPV vaccinations for any employee that may come in contact with BBPs.

     In closing, as a cleaning service company, we stress the importance of cosidering these risks when consulting with clients.  We also recommend documentation procedures for the safety plan surrounding BBPs.  We believe this is a very necessary service as BPPs can transmit some very serious and potentially lethal pathogens.

For the majority of Cleaning Professionals out there, the last thing that comes to their mind is customer service. Cleaning companies and professionals are focused on the quality of the chemicals being used to clean a clients' home, facility, etc. Cleaning companies are very careful to not use cleaning materials that can be harmful for the client. Essentially, cleaning companies are focused on delivering the service requested, but don't realize how the Customer Service experience of the client is part of this process.

When a client hires a Cleaning/Janitorial business who is certified from IJCSA.ORG not only will the client have a cleaning company that is competent in the field, but will have the best customer service. The positive experience from working with one of our certified IJCSA cleaning companies is that they will provide individualized attention, consideration and time that the client needs.
