    Ever walked into a building after someone has thoroughly cleaned it ? Smelled that fresh bleach smell. As you look around and see how organized everything is and still that bleach and household cleaning smell. 

    How about ever made the mistake of mixing Bleach with another chemical. Then get this burning in your chest, find it hard to breath? This can come from the harmful chemicals you have mixed together and in most cases the same effects can happen if the chemicals are used separately.

    Which is why most companies provide a go Green or eco Friendly cleaning service. Keeps the air fresh, more productive. Going green is alot healthier than using your everyday products.

    If you are looking for a Green Cleaning Service feel free to check out the IJCSA directory for a green cleaning company near you Green Cleaning Service . Green cleaning is better because at least you don't  have to wear face mask to try and protect your eyes, lungs and waterways .

    So why not go green and receive the same cleaning result as using those household products. Ill be making sure my company is Green Cleaning

    Proper cleaning is important in all public areas but is especially critical in healthcare facilities. The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that there are nearly 1.7 million cases of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). Of these more than 98,000 patients, one in 17, die due to contraction of a HAI while at a healthcare facility. This makes HAIs the most common complication of hospital care and one of the top leading causes of death in the USA. Implementing better cleaning and infection prevention practices is estimated to save between $25 billion to $32 billion in medical costs.

    Ensuring appropriate education and training of those who work in a healthcare facility will increase compliance and use of best practices which will reduce the cases of HAIs. For those who are tasked with cleaning these facilities must take extra care to have proper hand hygiene, good safety culture, and an understanding of correct cleaning and disinfecting techniques for the areas they are working in. Training should include things like setting up the cleaning cart, how to properly put on personal protective equipment (PPE), and correct order to clean areas to ensure proper cleaning and disinfecting.

    Those who are in charge of cleaning healthcare facilities have a critical role in preventing healthcare associated infections. The patients in healthcare facilities are at a higher risk for contracting infections. With proper training and understanding of techniques required to clean and disinfect healthcare facilities, many infections and deaths can be prevented. Refer to this directory for a list of qualified cleaning providers.

    Being green cleaning certified matters to Mainstay Cleaning Services, it shows a higher-level of understanding and caring. Being certified goes beyond earning a certification, it shows our commitment to learning long lasting values that help us meet or beat customer expectations, and shows our commitment to the safety of our workers and building occupants.

    Being green cleaning certified holds Mainstay Cleaning Services to a higher standard than non-certified cleaning companies by ensuring we only use cleaning agents that meet the standards of containing:Low allergens, being non-caustic, non-toxic, and having 100% biodegradable agents. In addition to cleaning agents, we will also rely on high performance, energy efficient cleaning equipment, micro-fiber cloths, and the use of recycled paper products.

    The largest benefit of having a Green cleaning program is to reduce everyone's exposure to toxic chemicals (EPA, 2018, February 13). By using safe and approved cleaning agents we can safely work towards controlling the spread of germs and disease by focusing on problem areas and properly applying disinfectants, we can also help improve the overall indoor air quality by reducing air-borne dust and chemical gases, and we can help to reduce asthma attacks by keeping the dust, pollen's, and chemical allergens at bay.

    Equally as important, being green certified, Mainstay Cleaning Services will be partnering with our clients in maintaining a cleaner and healthier community. Often-times our clients not only work in a certain area, but also live there as well. By using cleaning agents that are non-toxic, and 100% biodegradable we are being good stewards to the environment, thus ensuring that we leave this planet to our children in better shape than when we received it. By implementing high efficiency / green cleaning programs, overall cleaning costs can be reduced therefore increasing everyone's bottom line.

    Green Bright Cleaning Service is entirely based upon environmentally friendly, non-toxic, recyclable and sustainable products, tools and practices.  Not only do we use only Green Seal or Ecologo products, we also use compostable trash bags, gloves, and plastics.  Every product we use in our business is carefully selected to ensure we are doing our part to maintain a “green” business. 

    We are especially careful about the cleaning products we’ve selected for our business in that they must adhere to the Green Seal or Ecologo standards.  We test our products in our own home before we decide whether to use them in our business to ensure we understand proper usage, any safety concerns, and the effectiveness of the product.  Every aspect of our tools and products have been carefully thought out and vetted for our business.

    At Green Bright Cleaning Service, the best benefit we see is making impact in the lives of others to improve health conditions within homes and the workplace by reducing toxic chemicals and dust caused by traditional cleaning products.  We want to make an impact on our environment and respect our planet by cleaning up the water supply, having cleaner air and using products that reduce the impact on the environment caused by the manufacturing process.  Most importantly, future generations depend on us to do the right thing.  Let’s do the right thing.

    Being a small business owner means close and meaningful relationships with employees and their families.  When I first heard of going "green" I immediately saw the positive effect it would have in my workers' lives. Implementing the new green protocol will assure my customers and staff that we not only clean well, but we care well.

    Having a Green Cleaning Program within my business will be in a word, "a game changer!"  Nothing distinguishes a company from the competition like going "Green."  While most of today's janitorial services are stuck in the dark ages using cancer-causing cleaning products, my new green business will be the safer option.
