As experts in this activity, we need to understand what the phrase "cleaning for health" means, which is now beginning to be also used here, it really means"

If you think about it, it´s redundant. Cleanliness should always be for health.

When we use the word "clean", we mean the act of preventing or removing what is unhealthy from our environments as small as possible.

This means reducing toxic matter, pathogens, waste, etc.

The future of cleaning will involve measuring the health outcomes of this. A precursor is the use of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).

Small molecule found in cells that demonstrates that energy is generated by proteins, allowing the cell to move, for example).

This portable device is relatively affordable and can provide cleaning technicians with a reading of fifteen seconds, the existence in place of the amount of organic product of protein origin on a surface.

In other words, microscopic residues of remains of organic material (read blood, meat, etc.) that are there decomposing and causing bad smell and bacteria growth.

Since this is what harmful agents (microbes and bacteria) feed on, this is a first step towards establish a standard for measuring whether a surface is "clean" or not.

Establish a cleaning metric based on a certain level of ATP found after cleaning in a school, it could be, for example, how to see how this correlates with better service, performance and attendance from students to classes.

In the future, our industry will have a wide range of tools like this to measure service performance.

In addition, the growing number of standards for our industry that are being developed by organizations such as ISSA, the International Cleaning Association as well as the American Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, Certification and Restoration (IICRC) will further refine the definitions and metrics capable of showing the level of cleanliness of a place for cleaning professionals and customers.

These tools and standards that are being created will allow us to do our jobs better by improving effectively improve health outcomes and show the real value of our service to customers and people in general but also improve the image of our entire segment.
