    How You Can Implement Medical Cleaning Practices Into Other Residential & Commercial Cleaning Solutions

    The Janitorial Services Directory, ijcsa.org, can provide guidance in choosing the right company. If you choose to bring a company into your home or business during this time it is essential that it is free of bacteria, germs, and viruses when they leave.

    Being a part of a company that is Green Cleaning Certified is not only stress-free but rewarding and beneficial. The fact that we are helping the environment, reducing our carbon footprint, and while gaining more control of what gets ingested in our bodies is amazing. 

    Since traditional cleaning products are stuffed with all kinds of toxic chemicals, which aren’t sustainable and do not result in long-lasting effects, these types of harsh chemicals tend to negatively affect the texture and life of most household items. With green cleaning products, you can ensure that you’re maintaining the longevity of your belongings.

    You can use most natural cleaning products on food and as disinfectants where as most chemical based products are harmful to use on food and eating surfaces. Health wise not only will you be able to sleep better at night knowing you’re doing your part to curb the amount of harmful chemicals being released into our atmosphere, but you’ll also be contributing to a healthier home environment. Talk about a win-win!

    When a company switches to green-only cleaning products, they won’t be breathing in anymore of those icky chemicals. Green cleaning products can help to improve the overall indoor air quality and thus contributing to reduce certain health risks, such as: chemical poisoning, skin irritations, and eye and respiratory infections, just to name a few. Green cleaners are not corrosive and must meet strict guidelines regarding toxicity and skin absorption. 

    In the long run a company that is not introducing green cleaning to their workplace should really start as the list of benefits goes on and on. Take the current pandemic going on with COVID-19, companies that are Green Cleaning Certified are less likely to worry about closing their doors as the items that are being bought out of stores are hazardous. Green products can be made from easy household items that you can find anywhere and are better for you and the environment.

    Performing natural cleaning products result in a purer environment. Using natural cleaners also contributes to a healthier environment. They help reduce pollution to waterways and air. Conventional cleaners can easily seep into a water supply, and water treatment plants have difficulty treating a large volume of such chemicalsWhile natural cleaning products are becoming increasingly popular, their use serves a much greater purpose than just following one of the latest trends.

    Household cleaners carry multiple risks both known and unknown. Using natural cleaning products addresses and eliminates these risks, allowing you to take better care of your home and your family. Commonly used household cleaners contain harsh chemicals, and very often these are among the most toxic substances found in the average home. The presence alone of these strong chemicals in your home can pose a danger to children or pets if accidentally ingested or if they come in contact with skin. But their use results in poor air quality through the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Even worse, these contaminants could potentially linger long after their application. 

    Multiple studies have linked exposure to these harsh household chemicals to higher incidences of asthma, autism, cancer, leukemia, and other illnesses and health conditions.  Considering the lack of information household chemical manufacturers provide about their product only makes using them more of an unnecessary gamble. Companies aren’t required to disclose ingredients used, unless it is a poison. Even then, labels may indicate how to treat immediate effects, such as what to do if swallowed or in the event of skin exposure, but they provide no information about long-term risks.

    Typical household products also don’t have to list “inert” ingredients, which could be hazardous or toxic. With this in mind, how can you ensure you make your and your family’s health a priority? Using natural cleaning products is one simple and effective way to make your home a healthy and safe place for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Natural cleaners make for cheaper options as well because only one product can be used throughout your home, meaning separate products won’t be needed for your sinks, your showers, your floors, etc.! You can take control of the environment you create in your home by using natural cleaning products.

    Green cleaning and going green is super important! Not only is green cleaning beneficial for peoples health but also environmentally. Especially if you have young children in the home, using green-only cleaning products just makes the most sense. Children five years old and younger are super-susceptible to harmful chemicals. Chemical poisoning is a real issue! When you make the transition from using traditional cleaners to environmentally-friendly ones, you’re creating a safer atmosphere for you and your kiddos alike. Plus, switching to green cleaning products presents an excellent learning experience for young children. This is a great way to start the conversation surrounding the importance of environmentalism. 

    Since traditional cleaning products are stuffed with all kinds of toxic chemicals, which aren’t sustainable and do not result in long-lasting effects, these types of harsh chemicals tend to negatively affect the texture and life of most household items. With green cleaning products, you can ensure that you’re maintaining the longevity of your belongings. You can use most natural cleaning products on food and as disinfectants where as most chemical based products are harmful to use on food and eating surfaces.

    Health wise not only will you be able to sleep better at night knowing you’re doing your part to curb the amount of harmful chemicals being released into our atmosphere, but you’ll also be contributing to a healthier home environment.

    The Restoration Company, INC. is a full service disaster management and restoration team.

We offer emergency services, and have a certified team of professionals in place to prevent and eliminate any further loss to your home or business. 

    The first thing I would do when it comes to going green in the workplace is write down a list of items or areas I would like to see improvement. Starting with the basics, I would change all the light bulbs and switch out all the hazardous chemicals we currently use for cleaning and start bringing in natural remedies. Hydrogen peroxide would kill bacteria and be used around windows and door handles etc as a substitute for Lysol. As we are open to the public, instead of using air fresheners which are toxic, I would bring in a diffuser and some essential oils. I would switch out toilet cleaners in the bathroom and use vinegar or bleach. Using baking soda as a paste will help with any stains on tile or porcelain. 

    Going green may seem to be the latest trend, but it is a trend with a variety of benefits for business owners. Applying green processes to the workplace creates a healthy environment for employees, reduces unnecessary waste and recognizes the role that businesses play in leading the way for social change. I am proud to be Green Cleaning Certified with IJCSA!!!

    We’ve all used conventional cleaning products and looked at the label and wondered what exactly those ingredients are. After that, however, we don’t give it much thought. Using green cleaning products instead of conventional products has its pros and cons, and it's important to consider different kinds of cleaning products.

    Now don't get me wrong, there are cons to going green. Green products usually come at a higher price point and take a little bit more muscle for the same level of clean that you get from traditional products. Green products are continually improving however. The only product that can’t really match is chlorine products such as bleach. These chemicals aren’t necessary to cleaning, though. They just make the job a bit easier.

    On the Pro side however, one of the many benefits of green cleaning is that green products won’t damage surfaces over time like traditional products can. They are also better for the environment if you are using something that needs to go down the drain. Remember, what goes into our water and food systems eventually comes back to us! They also have no harmful effects if you accidentally come in contact with them to your skin or eyes. In the long-term, you are less exposed to toxins which is better for your health.

    Most green products advertise they are green and don’t use harmful ingredients. They also list all ingredients on the label so you’ll know what is in them, unlike some other products. Some "green" products aren't as green as they claim though, so always check labels and stay away from products that don't disclose what's in the product. Please make sure to watch out for: Formaldehyde, ThioureaPerchloroethyleneNonylphenol,EthoxylateButoxydiglycolDEGBEPhthalates, and Ammonia. Many of these ingredients are skin or lung irritants and some are even carcinogens! 

    Generally, everything in your house can be cleaned with baking soda and vinegar, which is completely harmless to you and the environment. Although this does require more time and will power, it is one of a couple very inexpensive alternatives to green cleaning products and is better for the environment than the traditional chemical cleaning products. Doing a half and half mixture of baking soda and water makes a great antacid for cleaning many different surfaces, while a half and half mixture of water and vinegar leaves a good finish. If you're looking for green cleaning solutions for other parts of your home, check out the IJCSA Green Cleaning Service Directory at https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services
