Touchpoint cleaning is quickly becoming a necessity across the world. In the wake of the pandemic, It’s clear to see that more attention and resources than ever before have been channeled toward high-level cleaning practices like touchpoint cleaning.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that taking a proactive approach to cleaning the surfaces that are most frequently touched by employees and visitors is a basic, yet fundamental principle that curbs the spread of viruses.

What is Touchpoint Cleaning?

Touchpoint cleaning is the practice of cleaning and disinfecting the most commonly touched surfaces frequently throughout the day. These frequently touched surfaces include door handles, tables and chairs, handrails, elevator buttons, benchtops, taps, computers and toilet flush buttons.

Since the pandemic, there are also legal obligations for a business to ensure that the work environment is safe and hygienic.

Businesses have a legally binding obligation under the OH&S Act to ensure that employees, contractors and visitors “are not exposed to risks to their health and safety,” which centers on two important aspects.

This is whether infection control and regular cleaning routines have been implemented, as well as “the management of the entry and exit to workplaces, including touchpoint cleaning and how the entry of contractors, visitors and customers was managed.”

What are the Easiest Ways to Optimise Your Touchpoint Cleaning?

Four of the best ways to curb the potential spread of transmissible diseases in your environment include the following:

1. Microfibre Cleaning

Microfibre is a great cleaning tool however its also important not to reuse cloths between different touch points to reduce the chances of cross contamination. When used in conjunction with a disinfectant it is extremely efficient.

The i-fibre is an innovative microfiber system that collects maximum dust particles, preventing them from becoming airborne and affecting indoor air quality

2. Effective Disinfectant

The main advantages of using a cold mist generator for disinfecting surfaces in your workplace stem from their nozzles that offer a wide spray dispersion.

The i-spraywash system is a plug & play foam gun with an integrated tablet-dosing feature which is great for bathrooms, industrial kitchens and toilet cubicles.

3. Visualise Invisible Dirt & Bacteria

UV light can be a valuable tool to see areas yet to be cleaned or any small sections missed.

This is one of the main advantages of using the i-scrub26h, which features a soft edge design that allows you to clean rounded areas, utilises the trio-split microfibre pads we’ve already talked about, and has a UV light built into the handle.

4. Prove Your Results

It’s important to be able to show customers, employees and even potential regulators that the work environment is clean.

The i-know kit is a breakthrough tool to easily measure cleanliness of surfaces in your workplace or home. It also ensures that you are meeting the high standards that are demanded these days.
