Why High-Touch Point Cleaning Matters for Your Health

As we move into the colder months, our time indoors increases and so does the risk of germ transmission. Whether in a home or office environment, certain surfaces are touched repeatedly throughout the day, making them prime spots for spreading viruses and bacteria. That’s where high-touch point cleaning plays a crucial role in protecting your health.

What Are High-Touch Points?

High-touch points are surfaces or objects that are frequently touched by multiple people. These include:

• Door handles
• Light switches
• Keyboards and computer mice
• Desks and countertops
• Lift buttons
• Tap handles
• Phones and remote controls

Without regular disinfection, these everyday surfaces can harbour germs that contribute to illnesses and infections.

The Health Impact of Neglecting High-Touch Areas

Ignoring high-touch points during your cleaning routine significantly increases the likelihood of germ transmission. Especially in shared or high-traffic spaces, contaminated surfaces can lead to the rapid spread of colds, flu and other viruses. In office environments, this could mean more sick days, lower productivity and higher operational costs. At home, it puts family health at risk particularly for children, the elderly or those with compromised immune systems.

Deep Cleaning vs. Surface Cleaning

Many people assume that wiping down visible dirt is enough. However, surface cleaning alone does not eliminate harmful pathogens. A deep cleaning service, like the one offered by CCM, goes beyond appearance.
