Daily touch-point sanitisation

Touch points are small parts of a building with a large effect on how it feels. Door handles, push plates, switches, rails, shared equipment and kitchen contact surfaces are used repeatedly by staff, visitors, pupils, patients, guests or members. CQD identifies the right points at the site assessment and fits their care into the daily commercial routine, with a clear scope that the facilities manager can understand and review.

The specification can include entrances, door furniture, lift controls, switches, rails, shared desks, meeting-room surfaces, kitchen contact points, reception areas and other agreed high-use surfaces. CQD works by area and risk, using appropriate COSHH-compliant products and colour-zone discipline. Touch-point work sits alongside vacuuming, mopping, surface cleaning, bins, washrooms and kitchens rather than replacing them. A written schedule helps the same dedicated team follow the same sequence across the building.

In a busy commercial environment, a surface can be touched many times before the next full clean. Keeping the agreed points in the daily routine supports a visibly cared-for workplace and gives staff a clear answer when they ask how shared areas are managed. The detail also matters to reception, practice, school, hospitality and workplace managers who need the standard to hold across changing occupancy. CQD provides team continuity, supervisor oversight and a practical way to discuss additions as the building changes.

Daily touch-point sanitisation is included in the Silver and Gold subscription levels. Bronze covers the daily essentials; Silver adds touch-point work, machine hard-floor cleaning and deeper kitchen and breakroom care; Gold adds daily machine floor cleaning, washroom consumables fulfilment and regular inspection and sign-off. The initial deep clean is included at commencement. There are no long-term contracts and no TUPE requirement, with 24/7 availability, response within 2 hours and 5–7 working day mobilisation.

CQD mobilises within 5–7 working days once the specification is agreed. The same dedicated two-person team becomes familiar with the site, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems, CHAS, BICSc, DBS-checked staff and COSHH-compliant products. Service is available 24/7, and enquiries receive a response within 2 hours. If the building or its operating pattern changes, the specification can be reviewed with the person responsible for the premises. The next step is a free site survey, followed by a clear monthly plan with no long-term contract. It also keeps responsibility in one operating relationship: the site has a named team, a written specification and a clear route to adjust the service when occupancy, rooms or access arrangements change.
