A standard clean usually focuses on visible dirt and general tidiness, floors, benches, obvious mess. High-touch surfaces, door handles, light switches, shared keyboards and handrails, don't necessarily look dirty even when they're carrying a significant amount of bacteria and residue from constant contact.
In shared workplaces, this matters directly for staff health, these are the surfaces most likely to pass illness between people during a normal working day. It's a genuinely simple, low-cost thing to address properly, and the impact on reduced sick days is well documented across office and hospitality settings alike.
A dedicated high-touch sanitising pass, separate from general cleaning, is the practical fix, targeting the specific points people touch most rather than relying on a general wipe-down to catch everything by chance.
