    thinking about the things hidden deep down inside your carpet fiber like: dust,dirt,allergens,bacteria,pet and human hair,grime and whatever makes its way via the occupants of your home and business.

    In a medical or health care environment cleaning practices must follow stringent rules and regulations to ensure the safety of those using the space. The practices used in healthcare environments can be used in other non-healthcare areas as well. Things like performing hand hygiene, proper cleaning techniques, and cleaning and disinfecting of high touch surfaces not only reduce the spread of germs in medical environments but can also be used for residential and commercial situations as well.

    In an office building, germs can travel from the front door to the coffee pot in under 60 seconds. This is because contact is one of the biggest transmitters of germs, so by using proper hand hygiene you can greatly reduce the spread of germs and viruses in residential and commercial settings. Using warm water and soap when hands are visibly dirty and an alcohol-based sanitizer when they aren’t regularly is good practice for all cleaning situations. Also, properly cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces will greatly reduce the spread of germs. Make sure to clean an area to ensure it is free of debris, this will take several wipes. Then wipe over with damp disinfectant cloth so that the surface remains wet for the specified amount of time of the disinfectant label. By using proper hand hygiene and cleaning and disinfecting techniques when cleaning residential and commercial areas you can greatly reduce the spread of germs.

    Correct cleaning techniques are important for ensuring an area is properly cleaned and disinfected. After performing hand hygiene, putting on appropriate personal protective equipment, or PPE, should be your next step. Then when cleaning an area start from the top of the room, with dusting and work your way down. You should then start with dry cleaning and finish with wet, such as damp mopping. When performing any type of wiping or mopping a figure ‘8’ to ensure the entire surface area is covered. Following a routine when cleaning areas will also reduce the chance of you missing an area or task.

    When cleaning a medical facility there are more regulations than those in residential and commercial areas, however that does not mean you cannot implement those practices into non-medical area cleaning. Using practices such as good hand hygiene, thorough cleaning and disinfecting, and correct cleaning techniques in medical as well as residential and commercial areas will help reduce the spread of germs and protect of the individuals cleaning and using the space. The IJCSA directory has many qualified service providers who can implement the standards used in medical facilities to all cleaning situations.

    DID YOU KNOW: Environmentalists estimate that an average household's cleaning products contribute about 8% of total non-vehicular emissions of organic compounds, which not only pollute the air, but also cause eye, nose, and lung irritation, as well as rashes, headaches, nausea, asthma, and, in some cases,cancer. 

    There are many cleaning companies that promote “green cleaning services”, and most are forth coming in really admitting to the fact that the products are labeled green products; however, if one were to really probe into the everyday practices of these “green cleaning” companies it would be found that there is, “green washing” being performed in homes and businesses. 

    NOT SO! with IJCSA Certified Green Cleaning Companies.  The cleaning companies that are located in our directory have been tested, tried, and true to what the certification entails: knowledge of VOCs, better natural cleaning practices, and E.P.A. accountability for our actions toward the environment.  If you or your company is looking for a true Green Cleaning Company look to https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services

    Green Cleaning Techs knows that there is a benefit to having a Green Cleaning Program that can be implemented into all residential and commercial cleaning regimes.

    Traditionally, cleaning involves lots of chemicals. Whether it’s the toilet bowl cleaner you squirt around the rim, or the bleach cleaner you use to sanitize the kitchen counter tops, you’re putting all sorts of chemicals into your air and living space.  Many of them are toxic, and very few of them are safe to touch or breathe without gloves or a mask. 

    Many health conscience individual’s and employers are starting to awaken to the many benefits a green cleaning protocol provides for their employees, families, as well as for their pets.  When chemicals are used in the workplace or home, they leave toxic fumes in the air contaminating the ventilation system and rakes havoc on our ecosystem. 

    In addition to, residue left on floors and counter tops that can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, and throat of those in the area.  Not to mention the other all-purpose commercial and residential cleaning products that have ammonia, and ethylene glycol that can be highly poisonous to both humans and animals if swallowed.  Harmful VOCs should not be part of any cleaning regimen. 

    In contrast to that of chemicals, all-natural products will have an immediate positive effect on the air, the environment, and the user.  By using biodegradable products, natural cleaners, essential oils, and other green cleaning alternative methods, there shouldn’t be any reason anyone or company should be persuaded into using harmful volatile organic compound (VOC) producing cleaning agents.  If green cleaning is the method of choice for cleaning your office or home look no further than https://www.ijcsa.org/Green-Cleaning-Services.

    How important are Janitors & Janitorial Staff to our daily lives?

    First, we must define a Janitor and the things they contribute on a daily bases:

    A janitor, custodian, porter, cleaner or caretaker is a person who cleans and maintains buildings such as hospitals, schools, and residential accommodation. Janitors' primary responsibility is as a cleaner. In some cases, they will also carry out maintenance and security duties. A similar position, but usually with more managerial duties and not including cleaning, is occupied by building superintendents in the United States and School Site Managers in schools in the United Kingdom.

     Cleaning is the most outsourced service for business. Janitors as well as Janitorial staff keep the appearance and the cleanliness of there business up to part inside and out. The task they tactical everyday is unmatched because they walk into the unknown every day. When it comes to cleaning there is a lot of attention to detail, safety precautions, preventing the spread of germs etc……

    A clean facility boost company moral, knowing they that they work in a clean environment and that their space is cleaned by trained janitorial staff.  Janitorial & Commercial cleaning is a vital entity within itself because one thing we all know, it must be done. When you have trained professional that take pride in their work, you must be grateful that Janitors & Janitorial staff even exist.
