    In the cleaning industry, there are choices that need to be made which ultimately define and shape future and repeat business.  Or in a household setting, can affect you and your families health and daily life.  The supplies used and how  they are used can be the difference between an exceptional job well done and an average performance, in a corporate setting.  Supplies can affect whether or not a company is successful to the public, the employees working for the company and ultimately the environment.  Someone in your family can start having an allergic reaction or worse a cancer diagnosis, due to the products that are suppose to help and clean your homes and workplaces.  Everyday cleaning supplies have harmful, toxic ingredients and whether these supplies are used in homes or commercial, the knowledge of their affects must be communicated.  Comparatively, natural, green cleaning supplies have so many benefits and with IJCSA’s help, I will attempt to make this clear.
        How harmful are everyday cleaning supplies?  There are very many toxic and harmful ingredients in many cleaners.  I will touch on three to give a glimpse.  Alkyl phenoxy polyethoxy ethanols, found in laundry detergents and all purpose cleaners, causes chronic health problems.  Studies in England, have found that it can alter the activity of certain genes and lead to breast cancer.  Ammonia, a chemical most have heard of, is often found in window cleaner.  Ammonia has horrible affects on the body and has been known to cause a burning sensation in the eyes, nose and throat; pain in the lungs; headache; nausea; coughing; and increased breathing rate. OSHA even regulates the amount in the air to protect its workers.  Napthalene, a chemical in carpet cleaners, is derived from coal tar and known to cause allergic skin reactions and cataracts, alters kidney function and is extremely toxic to children.  These are harmful and possibly lastly effects, of using everyday cleaning products.  
        There are natural cleaning supplies that are so much better to use and are naturally found in the environment.  These few are often used to clean surfaces and happen to be. Words you can pronounce.  Baking soda is made of soda ash and alkaline.  It is known as an air freshener and a carpet deodorizer.  White Vinegar cuts grease, removes mildew, odors, stains and build-up.  Lemon is a strong food acid that some even have growing on there trees in this area.  Lemon is effective against most household bacterias and smells clean and fresh.  Cornstarch is found in most kitchens in America.  It can be used to clean windows, polish furniture, shampoo carpets.  Isopropyl Alcohol is an excellent disinfectant.
        Natural and green substances are their active ingredients in green cleaning.  Simple Green is a popular cleaner that has stood the test of time.  “Simple Green is a brand of cleaning products produced by Sunshine Makers, Inc. Their most well known product is Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner, which in 2004 totaled sales of at least $5.7 million USD.”  Though the company has had some toxic concerns, it stands by its 3 Million dollars in safety testing and is very often used many kitchens.   
        What are the advantages of green, natural cleaning products?  Ultimately, the use of natural cleaning products allows companies and individuals to clean on their terms.  They control the environment, get the job done well, and can save money and be very successful.  The negative affect versus the positive affects are easy to see and with the knowledge and resources IJCSA provide, together, we can continue to clean the best, natural and effective way for communities and to enhance our environment.

    Customer Satisfaction is the essential element for all cleaning services here in the IJCSA. It is important that all customers and potential clients feel that their questions and concerns are being taken care of in a timely matter. Having the best communication between the client and the professionals is what keeps the solidarity. Being transparent and doing all you can to help someone in need is what cleaning services do. If there is no relationship between professionals and their clients, there would not be a successful business. Customer service is not just about helping people, but talking to people with respect and being kind.

    For example, ask your potential client how he or she is doing before getting to the root of the problem. Give them that satisfaction of being the “center of attention”. I believe that the customer is always right no matter what. Ensuring that you have your clients or potential client’s best interest into helping them. There is a difference between empathizing and sympathizing! YOU WANT TO BE AN EMPATHIZER. Someone who sympathizes only comfort their clients, but someone who empathizes not only comfort but have a solution to their client’s needs. Customer service is the center piece to keep a business going because at the end, you need the clients.

    So you NEED a GREEN business….IJCSA can help you do this here: https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services.  Here are two basic natural recipes that everyone can use.  Window and glass cleaner: Mix 1/2 cup vinegar with one gallon water – spray and wipe.  Green furniture polish: 1/4 cup vinegar with 3/4 cup olive oil OR mix 1/4 cup lemon juice with 1/2 cup olive oil. Wipe down furniture with a soft cloth and the solution.  Baking soda, vinegar and lemon are personally my favorite green products.  I hope this helps you want to go green and gives you some realistic ideas to be more green.

    Green Businesses are very beneficial and use natural resources to maximize business, while also saving money.  The idea that a renewed interest in environmental management results in increased profitability for business has an extreme amount appeal to many businesses around the world.  Managers might redesign a product so that it uses fewer environmentally harmful and more raw materials.  This could result in cuts in direct manufacturing costs and inventory savings.  Most people and companies now want to be GREEN. Some simple things that can be done to run Greener Businesses are: using energy efficiency lighting, low-flow toilets, recycled paper, and green cleaning products.  Other things you can do to be Green are: report odors or water leaks to your building liaison, turn off lights when your office, restrooms, break-rooms and other areas are not in use, turn off computers and monitors, printers, copiers and coffeemakers at night, use desk-side recycling bins, and use building entry mats to remove soil or water from your shoes.

    The very first step in implementing a mold cleaning operation is getting knowledge on the subject of mold and understanding what causes it, where it is more likely to grow and how to get rid of it.  So, taking the steps to get your business certified in Mold Remediation is the very first step one should take in your business plan.  Also, learning all the places it can hide is very important.  The next most important step is getting the proper tools and equipment for cleaning and handling mold.  Another crucial step to implementing a mold cleaning operation is marketing properly.  If the different industries out there don’t know you have what it takes to properly handle mold then the entire operation is useless. 

    The more knowledge my company has the more profitable it can be.  The ability to hold a Mold Cleaning Certification and display to your customers is a benefit in and of itself; as most buildings or businesses have some form of mold.  The more knowledge we are in anything to do with cleaning will make our business more successful.  Having a mold cleaning program can make your clients feel better about the fact that you can get rid of threat that molds carry and bring and the many health risks .

    What I have learned over the years of carpet cleaning is that there are several methods and equipment used to achieve the end goal of getting the carpet cleaned. All of the methods require a prep of the carpet and we start by vacuuming the area paying close attention to the corners and edges to ensure a thorough cleaning. I have used the bonnet scrubbing method and know it is an effective way to remove stains and below surface grime. I have experience using a carpet extractor with brissel brushes that loosen dirt while the water is passed through and sucked by the vacuum for quick work in smaller office areas. I have also used the steam cleaning method which works well in larger areas after the carpet has been pre- treated with a cleaning solvent. All of these methods have proven to work wonders when cleaning carpets.
