Why High-Touch Point Cleaning Is Non-Negotiable In Our Post-COVID World

A Dedicated Focus on High-Touch Point Cleaning Offers Unparalleled Hygiene Standards For A Healthier, Happier And More Resilient Workplace

Are you looking for professional cleaners for your workplace who place emphasis not only on cleaning but also disinfecting? Your employees are more conscious than ever of the need for a high standard of hygiene in this post-COVID world. Our High-Performance Cleaning approach mean we go a step further by cleaning all areas, and systematically disinfecting high-touch point surfaces. This proven two-step cleaning process lowers the spread of illness; ensuring both a visual and hygienic workplace. In this article, you’ll learn more about why this method is crucial for your organisation.

High-Touch Point Cleaning Is An Integral Part of Our Cleaning Methodology And Results In Healthier Workplaces

High-touch points (HTPs) are surfaces that are constantly touched by many people. This puts them at greater risk of being contaminated and spreading viruses. Think about how many times you touch things like door handles, handrails, buttons and taps, simply in one day. It has been shown that bacteria and viruses can live on HTPs for days – or even months. At Qualgroup our cleaners are trained to disinfect these often forgotten areas.

Cleaning companies that promise to disinfect everything in your workplace are mistaken, it’s impossible to disinfect everything. QualGroup’s thorough two-step method targeting the disease hot spots in your workplace will reduce the risk of illness by using hospital-grade cleaning techniques. We provide the highest standard in professional cleaning, protecting employee wellbeing through a reduction in staff sick days.

HTP cleaning actively reduces the risk of illness by eliminating pathogens that linger on high-touch surfaces.
What COVID Taught Us About Safe Cleaning Practices

COVID was a game changer for the cleaning industry. We’re all more aware of the need to have a properly clean workplace and your staff expect it to be up to scratch. People are increasingly worried about viruses lurking on high-touch surfaces and just don’t feel comfortable working in a subpar environment.

QualGroup reflects this important shift towards hygiene by ensuring hospital-grade cleaning to our customers. We revolutionised the cleaning industry through our High-Performance Cleaning approach.

In 2014, QualGroup’s Director, Vijo Madapilly Jose, had the foresight to drastically improve professional cleaning standards. With his background as a nurse specialising in infection prevention and his expertise in the commercial cleaning field – customers can be rest-assured QualGroup’s Commercial Cleaning Services are completed with precision, professionalism and meticulous care, with a strong focus on infection prevention and control.

Modern cleaning is not just for visual appeal but is pivotal to maintaining a safe, healthy, and productive workplace.


QualGroup’s Reliable Two-Step Cleaning Process

QualGroup’s tried and tested two-step cleaning method will not disappoint. Many workplace surfaces are covered in bacteria and viruses that create their own protective layer called a biofilm. In order to remove this layer of germs and potential pathogens, it’s essential to both clean and disinfect. A quick wipe will not remove those stubborn microorganisms. This is why we ensure our staff are well trained in the two-step method: cleaning on arrival and disinfecting on departure.

Our commercial cleaning method uses fluorescent marking audits on HTPs, providing scientific quality checks. We mark HTPs with invisible dots prior to cleaning, followed by the use of UV torches afterwards to check we have covered all the bases.

Providing Solutions That Are Safe And Environmentally Sustainable

We are proud to solely use eco-friendly products. They are Green seal certified and our disinfectants are independently approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). In early 2020, QualGroup along with HPC Solutions™, developed New Zealand’s very first world-class High Performance Cleaning (HPC) program. We provide cleaning services that maximise the good and minimise the bad, achieving high quality, efficient and health-focused solutions.

How QualGroup Stands Out Above The Crowd

Is your current cleaning company leaving you unsatisfied? Are they inconsistent and lacking attention to detail? Many commercial cleaning companies don’t train their workers to prioritise high-touch point cleaning, resulting in visible dirt, fingerprints and smudges being left in those constantly touched spots. Not only does neglecting HTPs increase the spread of illness in your workplace, it also creates an embarrassing negative image, which in turn lowers employee morale.
