Why Touchpoints Matter More Than Ever
In high-traffic buildings — offices, condos, clinics — hundreds of hands touch the same surfaces each day. Elevator buttons. Doorknobs. Light switches. Phones. These “high-touch” points are hotspots for germs, allergens, and bacteria.
If not properly sanitized, they can become silent spreaders of illness. That’s why high-touchpoint cleaning is no longer optional — it’s a public health standard.
The Problem with Regular Wipe-Downs
Typical janitorial routines may include sweeping and trash pickup, but touchpoints often get overlooked. Or worse, cleaned with general-purpose sprays that don’t disinfect thoroughly.
Without proper attention, bacteria and viruses linger and multiply — especially during flu season or post-COVID protocols.
How the Pros Handle High-Touchpoint Areas
Effective sanitization means:
-
Hospital-grade disinfectants, approved by Health Canada
-
Color-coded cloths to avoid cross-contamination
-
Dwell-time application, so disinfectants work before wiping
-
Routine rotation, ensuring no high-contact spot is missed
Commercial cleaning partners like Waterbank build this into every routine — especially in buildings with tenants, staff, or patients coming and going throughout the day.
Waterbank’s Touchpoint Strategy
Waterbank includes high-touchpoint sanitization as part of all core cleaning plans. Their trained staff follow building-specific checklists that focus on infection control, using eco-safe yet highly effective products.
Their process ensures:
-
Entryways, handrails, elevators, and counters are wiped down
-
Shared equipment (phones, printers, appliances) gets extra attention
-
Restrooms and kitchens meet strict hygiene standards
-
Flexible scheduling ensures surfaces are sanitized between high-use periods
This helps clients maintain a visibly clean environment — and confidence among tenants, employees, and visitors.
