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


    Medical cleaning practices tend to have the greatest and most effective processes to ensure germs and viruses are handled appropriately. The protocols in place ensure there is no cross-contamination and ensure that all surfaces are cleaned adequately. Medical cleaning is very important in any medical facility and the processes in place are important to save lives. The practices of medical cleaning can be implemented to any facility to ensure the most effective disinfection processes are completed. 


    The cleaning of medical facilities differs greatly from residential and other commercial cleaning facilities. There are specific guidelines and protocols that cleaners must follow to ensure appropriate disinfection. Implementing these cleaning practices in other facilities can improve the cleanliness and prevent the spread of diseases. Germs in offices and homes can be as deadly as the germs found in healthcare facilities and should be taken seriously. 


    The cleaning of medical facilities requires specific cleaning supplies. These supplies ensure that germs and viruses are killed and prevent the spread of disease. Cross-contamination in any facility can be a major issue. Bringing bathroom germs to an eating area is very dangerous. Utilizing medical cleaning practices and supplies will help prevent that. It will also ensure that bacteria in any location will be handled accordingly. 


    Medical cleaning practices should not only be used in cleaning facilities. These practices can help prevent the spread of germs in any facility and cleaning should be taken seriously. With appropriate cleaning practices and protocols, the cleanliness of medical facility can be achieved in other facilities as well.

    Let me just start by saying that the health an safety of everyone is very important in any workplace. Any work environment you go have safety precautions ,rules and regulations that you must abide by when commencing or daily tasks. But according to OSHA safety standards  laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to bloodborne pathogens OSHA recommends us to equipped ourselves with the Personal Protective Equipment also known as PPE.

    Cleaning staff and employees have the right to know what they are up against in any work environment, Because in life it is totally dangerous to go in to an situation unequipped or not know important details that can save your life.So it is important for the staff, and the employees to have the acquired knowledge, and skills needed especially in any area that has anything to do with bloodborne pathogens.

    In Conclusion,  when you are considering the importance of cleaning staff and employees having the knowledge of bloodborne pathogens, the safety rules and regulations of OSHA it is absolutely essentially necessary for every staff member and employee to be trained, so that they can be protected against an bloodborne pathogens. When you think of your cleaning staff an employees you should only be thinking of one thing and one thing only there health an safety, because a happy cleaning staff and employee is a very happy an successful life.

    Customer service in the cleaning industry is quite unique. It means first and foremost, as the training video had mentioned, understanding your customers. This means, from a cleaning perspective, understanding the exact scope of what your customer is looking for to ensure the customer is satisfied. The second key, as mentioned in the customer service training video, is asking and receiving feedback on the cleaning. This is a very important aspect. Instead of waiting on customers to potentially complain about a cleaning issue, it is important to be proactive and seek feedback consistently to ensure that you are ahead of any potential issues.

    After reviewing the IJCSA Member Directory, I saw a couple companies that did a wonderful job of garnering feedback from their customers. The first company was JEROCA Cleaning. Based on their website, not only did they have an easy avenue for both current and potential future clients to contact them and send feedback, but they also displayed a few happy customer testimonials on their website. The second company that stuck out to me was South Florida Cleaning Concepts. Much like JEROCA Cleaning, feedback and positive testimonials were easy to find on the site. They also did a wonderful job of displaying their services and providing certain guarantees to the customer. 

    One thing my company implemented which proved to be very successful was to leave a QR code after each clean at each facility. This allows staff to walk in the next day, and if they see any spots that were potentially missed, to scan the QR code and leave feedback for our staff. This has proven to leave complete transparency between the customer and the ownership of the company. I then reach out specifically to each account to ensure that the customer feels heard and their concern is addressed.

    My name is Javier Velez Romero and I have been a member of IJCSA since 2017...

    Freaking the benefits of my first Master's Certification was at first difficult because I needed to gain experience merging it with my other certifications in job interviews and resume making,etc.

    Ever since then, I started reaching out to services at different places and companies that dealt first with showing off My Resume as a strong asset, filled with detailed job experience highlighting all the  skills and training ,learned soft skills(critical thinking...) and hard skills(hands on training).

    Along with the IJCSA Certification I carried along NYC Green Cleaning Certificates,OSHA Environmental Services Specialist,OSHA Construction Safety ,EPA and even Fumigation 7b , I relied on past work training experience. I met many others along the way that I had to take an immediate likening to;  to relate with on our general mission and purpose, seeking work experience and employment.

    The lingo and jargon, terms in the cleaning industry flowed on ever and ever forth along with training. The because of why proper PPE Gear all that we were advised and warned about happened just like it said in the training videos.

    I stay thankful to the IJCSA for providing me with my educational needs.

    Carpet cleaning will be a central focus in my business. Carpet Cleaning is sanitary and adds to the value of a home when done properly. I plan to incorporate carpet cleaning services as an additive to my over all cleaning services to provide customers with a clean environment for enjoying the space that they live in. Clean carpet is an integral part of a clean home and without it you could be faced with all types of bacteria, germs, dirt and grim, which is the reason I want to provide my services.

    I plan to help all my customers come to enjoy the space they live in. Cleanliness is next to godliness as they say and I want my clients to feel as if their home is their heaven or haven of safety. Carpet cleaning excites me when it is done properly. I plan to use a vacumm always before I clean a home. Customers want the extra attention even if they are on a budget and cutting corners is not what I want my business to stand for. If its not "Pristine" its not clean!

    It is important for employees to know about bloodborne pathogens and how to handle material that may be contaminated. Adhering to methodologies like "Universal Precautions" and "Post Exposure Management" for the handling and disposing of contaminated materials can protect a company's employees from contracting bloodborne diseases like HIV and HBV.

    A cleaning company should have available Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and manuals for addressing any exposure to contaminates including immediate treatment instructions.  Having an understanding of the environment and the potential for exposure to risks can prevent illness and any other loss associated with the illness of an employee.

    A cleaning company that fails to inform and prepare its employees for exposure to contaminates potentially makes itself liable if employee contracts an illness while on the job.

    The proper cleaning of healthcare facilities is a very important task. Medical facilities are entrusted to take care of patients but in actuality if improper cleaning was given could devastate the health of their clients.

      Proper cleaning is required to keep everyone in good health. Cleaning improperly or not cleaning at all would spread infectious diseases at a rapid rate.

    Regardless of the type of facility, whether it is a clinic, warehouse, building or even a home, it must always be free of dirt, dust and disease. But are the cleaning procedures very different when it comes to medical, commercial or even residential buildings? A healthier environment, a better looking appearance, and a consistently clean facility.

    Maintaining a healthier environment in your office, medical facility, or industrial building is never an option. Frankly, it's necessary. Cleaning services also work to limit the risk of developing or spreading illnesses and infections. As a result, patients, employees and staff are less likely to contract illnesses and infections. From offices to hospital chains to public buildings, we employ professional cleaning services to create a healthy environment that meets or exceeds standards. From a well-organized office, healthcare facility, or home cleaning, a more representative appearance is essential. If it is a healthcare facility, it will improve patient satisfaction; If it is a residence, it will provide comfort to your family, loved ones, and visitors to the hospital.  

    In the face of COVID-19 and many other infectious diseases, consistently clean medical facilities, offices, or homes are key to keeping patients, staff, and families healthy. To achieve this, you need to hire a cleaning company with parameters and quality control measures that can consistently clean your facility. Having this in place not only prevents the spread of contagious diseases, it also keeps the environment clean and healthier.
