    Green cleaning can be beneficial to the environment, employees, and our clients. Unlike harsh chemicals that can irritate skin and cause health problems, green cleaning is safer because of the ingredients used. It also has the potential to reduce waste and lessens your carbon footprint on the planet. When using traditional cleaning products your chances of developing asthma are significantly greater.

    Everyday products that you can find in your houses like lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda can be used for green cleaning. Using these everyday products are more cost-effective than traditional products. This method also works for cleaning businesses seeking fewer expenses. Green cleaning has many benefits, but the most important is how they are less harmful than traditional cleaners. Keep our employees, clients, and the environment safe should be the top priority.

    OSHA” stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. In 1991 OSHA established a standard of occupational practices regarding bloodborne pathogens, which they updated in 2001. As part of the standard, OSHA bloodborne pathogens training was made mandatory for certain businesses, primarily those in the healthcare sector.

    Any employer whose employees have a reasonable risk of exposure are required to provide OSHA bloodborne pathogens training for their staff. In the case of a commercial cleaning company, that would include anyone who cleans or otherwise decontaminates an area where there was likely to have been blood, such as a physician’s office, a dentist’s office, or even a construction site.

    The reason for your employees to be trained in such is for their safety.

    Any custodial staff that handles sharps bins, biohazard waste, or other potentially contaminated objects should know how to protect themselves against—and what to do in the case of—exposure. Some of the most important things an employee can learn are things like exposure determination, exposure control plans, the effectiveness of personal protective equipment, what to do in the event of exposure, and medical and reporting follow-up after exposure.

    Another benefit is that your clients can rest easy knowing you have a team properly trained in handling contaminated material.

    Sometimes there are extraordinary events that require professional help. Life puts us into a situation that we simply cannot handle on our own. What do you do when the clean up you need requires much more than a wet rag and soap? There are times when even walking into a room is just not safe. Most of us don't have any idea who to call. After all, most janitorial services are not equipped to handle the potentially dangerous biohazard situations.

    The one thing that you need to do at this point is leap to action. Every day that biohazards sit unattended the worse they get. Whether the issue is a crime scene, suicide, animal related or hoarding, natural or accidental death, or just plain nastiness and terrible stench, etc. you know when things are really bad; beyond a simple soap and water cleanse. Do not hesitate to call a company that can help.

    The IJCSA has certified professionals that are equipped to handle almost any situation. Target 19 is prepared to do what it takes to return your property to a usable state. If Target 19 is out too far to help you and you need a Biohazard Professional, you can pull up the directory and find companies that are equipped to deal with the clean-up of virtually any scenario.

    There are many things that leave a lasting impression on a customer when it comes any type of business that operates in an establishment. I can guarantee that the cleanliness of the business will be one of the top two topics discussed. Great custodial services are what makes those conversations tilt in the favor of any business that acquires them.

    Clean and sanitized spaces not only look good, it can positively affect a customers mood and generate more revenue. Not to mention the a disinfected room is a safer room. It decreases the chances of the spread of sickness and disease, especially during flu season.

    Janitorial services employ many hardworking people in the community. The absence of the service would force businesses to add cleaning duties to its employees.
