Definition

Touchpoint cleaning is the targeted cleaning and disinfection of frequently-contacted surfaces: door handles, lift buttons, light switches, hand rails, shared keyboards, kitchen taps, communal device screens. Distinct from general surface dusting.

Why it matters for procurement

Touchpoints are the primary vector for fomite-based illness transmission in shared workplaces. Post-2020, tenants and staff expect documented touchpoint protocols — not assumed coverage under 'general cleaning'.

How White Gold Collective applies it

Touchpoint registers per site list every surface, frequency, product used and operator initial. Healthcare and NDIS sites get hospital-grade TGA-listed disinfectant; corporate sites get neutral pH TGA-registered solution.
