Cleaner touchpoints on every visit
The surfaces that matter most in a workplace are the ones everyone shares: the front door handle, the elevator button, the coffee machine, the restroom faucet. Ora Commercial Cleaning adds disinfection to those points on a routine schedule or as an extra visit when you want one, so the building feels cared for to staff and visitors alike.
It fits neatly into the cleaning you already have. Routine disinfection becomes part of each nightly or weekly visit, and on-request passes are booked around your hours so nobody has to work around the crew.
Clean first, then disinfect
Disinfecting a dirty surface wastes the product. Dust, fingerprints and spills form a layer that keeps disinfectant from reaching the surface, so each touchpoint is cleaned first to lift that soil, then the disinfectant is applied.
Every product is used following its label, including the contact time, which is how long the surface stays wet before it is wiped or left to dry. Break room counters and other surfaces where food is set down are finished with a sanitizer suited to food-contact use, applied the same careful way.
Separate cloths are used for restrooms and for everything else, and cloths are changed often, so the crew never carries soil from one room into the next. Electronics such as phones, card readers and touchscreens get a product applied to the cloth rather than sprayed on the device.
The surfaces on the list
Entry and lobby: door handles, push plates, railings, elevator buttons, the reception counter and sign-in tablets. Restrooms: faucet and flush handles, partition latches, dispensers, counters and door hardware, after the room has been fully cleaned.
Break rooms: tables, chair backs, counters, sink handles and the handles of the refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine. Shared work areas: light switches, conference tables, shared phones, copier and printer controls, hot-desk surfaces and the equipment teams pass between them. Each building gets its own list from the walkthrough.
Routine coverage or a visit on request
Routine disinfection works best for buildings with steady traffic: medical offices, schools and daycare centers, gyms, banks, and offices with shared desks. The touchpoint list is worked through on every visit as part of janitorial cleaning, and day porters can repeat the busiest points during the day.
On-request visits suit the moments that call for more: before a reopening, after a large event or company gathering, ahead of a client visit, or during a busy season when the office is full. The crew covers the rooms on your list after hours, and the space is ready when people arrive.
Buildings where disinfection matters most
Healthcare space tops the list. Clinics and medical suites in Sacramento and across the region call for touchpoint work on every visit, as covered on our medical office cleaning page.
In Mountain View and San Jose, open-plan tech offices with shared desks and big meeting rooms turn over many hands a day. Gyms, from the Bay Area to Reno and Sparks, add equipment and locker rooms, which our gym and fitness cleaning covers in full.
Schools and daycare centers add classroom touchpoints, cubbies and small restrooms, and Sacramento’s state and county offices, with their public counters and busy lobbies, round out the buildings where shared surfaces see the most hands.
Working alongside your own routine
Wipes at the front desk and staff who clean their own keyboards are good habits. Professional disinfection does not replace those habits; it backs them up, reaching the surfaces nobody thinks about, from the underside of a door pull to the buttons on the break room water dispenser.
The touchpoint list is shared with your office manager or facilities lead, so everyone knows what the crew covers and when. If a new conference room opens, a shared desk area grows or a meeting space starts hosting visitors, the list is updated and the next visit picks it up. Seasonal changes work the same way, with extra passes added for a busy quarter and dropped again when traffic settles.
Portfolios with buildings in several cities, from Oakland and Fremont to Stockton, Modesto and Carson City, can run the same list across every site, with each building scheduled around its own hours.
What sets the price for disinfection
Routine disinfection is usually built into the price of the regular visit, set by how many rooms and touchpoints are on the list and how often they are done. On-request visits are priced by the area covered, the number of rooms and touchpoints, the timing you need and whether the work runs on a weekend.
The walkthrough produces your touchpoint list, and that list sets both the routine work and the price of any extra visit.
A few useful answers
Common questions.
Is disinfection part of regular cleaning or a separate service?
Either. It can run on every recurring visit as part of the routine, or as an extra visit booked when you want one.
Why are surfaces cleaned before they are disinfected?
Soil and residue block disinfectant from reaching the surface, so each touchpoint is cleaned first and then disinfected.
Which surfaces are on a disinfection touchpoint list?
Door handles, push plates, elevator buttons, light switches, restroom fixtures, break room handles and counters, and shared equipment such as copiers and conference tables.
Can touchpoint disinfection run while the office is closed?
Yes. Routine and on-request disinfection both run in the evening, overnight or on weekends so the building is ready when people return.
What does contact time mean for a disinfectant?
It is the length of time a surface has to stay wet with the product, as listed on its label, before it is wiped or left to dry.
