    Traditional cleaning products have proven to be very harmful to humans, the earth and the planet overall. 

    Health effects: Using harmful chemical based products which contain significant amounts of very harmful chemicals have proven to cause; cancer, headaches, skin issues such as eczema, respiratory, throat and bronchial issues due to inhalation and immediate contact of the chemicals some of which releases toxic fumes in our environment.

    The effects are greater when people who clean daily use such chemicals. 

    Quite a bit of these harmful cleaning solutions are used daily in our homes and office environment, including; kitchens and commercial environments. Products such as oven cleaners, hair chemicals in salons, chemicals used in garages, paints and furniture cleaners, all contain harsh irritants with high levels of VOC's (Volatile organic compounds) that get released into the atmosphere. - T

    Environmental effects: Quite a bit of these chemicals are often times flammable, due to the contents of these cleaning agents. This is severely hazardous to our environment. Statistics have proven and as more scientists are exploiting more tests on the use of harmful cleaning chemicals on humans, there is a imperative need for us to eliminate these damaging chemicals from our planet - they are killing us, our environment and there are no medical treatments yet developed that have counteracted or reversed the diseases inflicted on us, as a result of the severe damage caused. 

    There are numerous positive benefits in eliminating the use of traditional cleaning products and replacing them with using 100% green, bio-degradable cleaning products versus continuing to use the harmful, traditional cleaning products.

    Positive Environmental Benefits are: Creates a purer environment/ Cleaner Homes - no longer will we have to inhale harsh chemicals in the environment, or come in contact into or skin. The lingering effects of the chemicals after use in the air- is unhealthy to adults, kids, babies and pets. 

    Changing to green methods means no harmful chemicals will be released into the air from factories, plants. It will reduce/eliminate pollution to our waterways and minimize the impact on ozone depletion and global climate change with less smog/waste. Our air will be cleaner- better air quality.

    Positive Medical/Health Benefits are: There will be less chances of the sensitive individuals developing asthma, any chronic bronchial related health issues or allergies as green products are non-toxic and are safer to use. The use of natural products will enhance the environment's sustainability, improve the well-being for humans and pets alike. Using green cleaning products will eliminate damaging the skin, eyes as green products are not corrosive.

    Economic and financial benefits are: The last and an important fact in comparing the use of traditional versus green products is there is a financial benefit. Natural products are cheaper, all products can be found at home, such as; lemon, vinegar and baking soda.

    The benefits of using green, eco-friendly, bio-degradable products outweigh extensively the significantly negative impact traditional cleaning products have and will continue to make on humans and our environment overall. There is not comparison to be made when our health, well-being and living and working spaces are at stake. We need air to breathe and live, so it must be clean air for us to maintain a healthy, clean life.

    Most of us can clean. Some have aquired the skill in childhood, some have learned it through knowledge and experience in the industury. But very few actually love to clean. And that is what makes for a good house keeper, or any kind of cleaner providing services. There are those who love to clean and then there are those who do it because they have to.

    House keeping is something we do on a daily basis. We use dishes, we wash them, (maybe now immediately, but eventually) We use our bathrooms, we disinfect after each use. We make our beds, sweep up things off the floor and keep our garbage under control by making sure trash goes out every week. 

    But let's face it, who has time for a thorough house cleaning every week? It's something we all desire to have but rarely do we have the time and opportunity to fully refresh our homes on a regular routine basis, according to each of our own personalized household demands. With today's busy schedules, it's pretty common to notice at the end of week just how fast and easy that dirt and dust piled up, right before your eyes. And there is nothing more satisfying to see that dirt is gone, house smelling fresh and floors shining. 

    A housekeeper who understands all of this, who understands that each household has different cleaning needs, that each situation is unique and as equally important to the next, the housekeeper who actually cares about the cleanliness of your environment as if it were their own is the "KEEPER" for your household. Anyone can clean but a good housekeeper who cares is closer than you think. Find a good "Keeper" for all of your household cleaning needs in the" IJCSA house cleaning services directory"

    T.J Concierge is a business that cares about the deliverance of its services. We are officially IJCSA Green Cleaning Certified and we make a noticeable difference. We offer a number of substitutes for cleaning solutions and products that are eco-friendly. We take pride in our environmental preservation tactics and hope to deliver the experience to you! 

    For starters, we promote the use of biodegradable products. We care about how our products breakdown when they become waste so we use biodegradable garbage bags and cellulose sponges. When cleaning and wiping surfaces, we use microfiber cloths. Though they are not biodegradable, these cloths are more efficient and eco-friendly than your traditional paper towels because they are reusable.  

    We also use environmentally friendly formulations. These mixtures avoid chemically reactive and toxic ingredients to preserve health and environment quality. A few examples of this are our air fresheners, glass cleaners, and furniture polisher. I have a bulk of natural candles and intents that I ordered from the amazon website. These will give my client the freedom to choose which way they would like to deodorize their air. In relation to the glass cleaner and furniture polish, I just followed the simple directions given in the study material. I have both of these prepared in separate, ready-to-use spray bottles for the next time I am green cleaning. Also, I will be using baking soda as a surface cleaner; it definitely gets the job done with the cellulose sponges and some water.

    The OSHA Blood-borne Pathogen Standards review , is extremely critical in the work place. it clearly identifies area of concentration to keep focus too, along with proper cleaning and handling infectious waste. A must need for employers to provide a safety OSHA BPS training to their employees. 

    The training video provide clearly illustrated applicable scenarios and methods how to report and handle exposure in the work-place. The employee can refer to the company's Exposure Control Plan Manual or address their incident to their company's safety administrator. "Always Safety first."

    I would highly encourage the staff to conduct a safety checklist (PPE) prior to departing to a any business, specially a medical office.

A comprehensive mold cleaning operation stands as a barrier between the deadly spores of mold and everyone else within the immediate vicinity.

    Got mold? Need it removed correctly and promptly? Do your homework and start your search with IJCSA! Our members are Green and Mold Certified, will work to bring satisfaction to your business by treating your problem as ours! Members are trained in recognizing different colors of mold, scents of mold and much more. We have members skilled in solving your removal problems here: https://www.ijcsa.org/Flood-Damage-Restoration-Services.

    Possible areas of concern or cause:

    • ·         'funny' smell
    •        unexplained moisture
    • ·         possible broken or leaking pipes
    • ·         excessive dampness in dark places (i.e. crawlspaces, attics, basements)
    • ·         reduction of indoor humidity

    These issues can all be contributing factors to hidden mold growth. Since there are no EPA regulations or standards for airborne mold contaminants and biocides can destroy lining organisms, wet areas (carpet cleaning or removal) need to, if possible be cleaned within 48 hours to keep mold growth down. It is very hard to clean all spores once mold begins to grow. For effective and efficient mold cleaning, we recommend mold remediation utilizing products.

    When mold appears indoors, it can present a health hazard, causing breathing problems. We are careful when removing mold indoors to ensure we don’t impart chemicals into the air. Outdoors since mold can mar the appearance of your patio and make the surfaces slippery, and pressure washing with harsh chemicals can kill plants due to chemical runoff, utilizing the proper Green Clean Product is the environmentally safe way to go.
