CHARLESTON, SC – February 3, 2012 – Modern Cleaning ™, a pioneer in the development of a complete methodology for Chemical Free Cleaning in the residential cleaning industry, has launched its Modern Cleaning™ Cleaner, Safer, Greener™ Chemical Free Cleaning Training Program. The classes will be taught through the Institute for Service Excellence for the first time in March 2012. ISE and Modern Cleaning are especially pleased to announce that The Clean Trust has approved both of the classes as Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for its certification renewals; each class is approved for two (2) CECs.
Tom and Janice Stewart have combined their expertise in engineering, biochemistry, and hospital infection control to develop and alternative to chemical-based cleaning procedures, including cleaning solutions carrying green, natural, and organic certifications and seals. The Modern Cleaning™ Cleaner, Safer, Greener™ Chemical Free Cleaning Methodology features four specific pieces of equipment in a complete home cleaning program designed for regular cleaning maintenance by trained professionals: the Advanced Vapor Technology Ladybug, the Activeion Ionator, the ProTeam ProVac and Sierra, and the PerfectCLEAN Antimicrobial Cloths.
“Most cleaning methods are based on chemistry—even the green ones—where a cleaning technician adds detergents and surfactants in an attempt to remove as much soil as possible; this cleaning can be followed by disinfection with a variety of chemical solutions which must dwell for up to 10 minutes to be effective,” explains developer Janice Stewart. “Chemical Free Cleaning is based on physics, using water to conduct heat and energy to clean and disinfect in a matter of seconds rather than minutes. We can even use before-and-after microbial level testing to show how much organic soil is removed.”
The Modern Cleaning™ Cleaner, Safer, Greener™ Chemical Free Cleaning Training Program consists of two classes delivered through the Institute for Service Excellence as well as a complete training kit and license that will enable you to implement and train your own staff in Chemical Free Cleaning, differentiating your business from others in your market. The two classes prepare a cleaning company
- to make the business management and strategy changes for a successful transition to chemical free cleaning
- to perform chemical free cleaning effectively and consistently in a residential environment and to train others within their company to perform chemical free cleaning
For some, CFC is the answer to expanding into niche markets, particularly in reaching out to groups of people with compromised health, respiratory health or immune systems. For others, their entire customer market is defined by terms like “green,” “natural,” “organic,” and “sustainable,” and CFC delivers all of that and more than any applied solution, no matter what seal or certification it has.
“Chemical Free Cleaning is the ideal cleaning solution for those with compromised immune systems, especially those battling cancer,” says developer Tom Stewart. “Through Castle Keepers, we were the first Charleston-based partner with Cleaning for a Reason, an organization that helps provide free home cleaning to those undergoing cancer treatment. Chemical Free Cleaning reduces the irritants to all senses—smells especially—creating a more comforting indoor environment for recovery, not to mention a level of residue-free clean and disinfection rarely achieved with cleaning solutions.”
The Modern Cleaning™ Cleaner, Safer, Greener™ Chemical Free Cleaning Training Program is based on the objective of the House Cleaning Technician, a certified professional through The Clean Trust: protecting health, home, contents, and furnishings of the clients who contract professional residential cleaning services.
