While most facility managers focus intense sanitation efforts on washrooms, everyday commercial touchpoints like door handles, elevator buttons, and stair handrails often harbour exponentially higher bacteria counts. Studies reveal that high-traffic shared surfaces can hold up to 24,000 times more bacteria than a standard toilet seat due to constant human contact.
➤ Implement EPA-Registered Disinfectant Wipes: Use broad-spectrum commercial wipes with quick dwell times to regularly sanitize door handles and light switches.
➤ Upgrade to Touchless Technology: Reduce cross-contamination points across your building by installing automated sensor faucets, soap dispensers, and paper towel units.
➤ Enforce Color-Coded Microfiber Protocols: Prevent cross-contamination between restrooms and office spaces by assigning specific microfiber cloth colors to distinct cleaning zones.
