Start with the touchpoints
Door handles, handrails, light switches, taps, shared equipment: these are the surfaces hands meet all day, and they carry the highest risk. In any setting, high-touch points deserve their own frequency, usually higher than the room around them.
Listing them explicitly in the specification means nothing is left to assumption.
Match frequency to use
A busy waiting room, a quiet office and a clinical treatment room have different needs. Set frequencies per area based on footfall, the people using the space and the consequences of a missed clean.
Frequencies can be reviewed as usage changes: seasonal pressure, outbreaks and changes of use are all reasons to step frequencies up or down.
Write down who does what
The most common cleaning failure is not poor cleaning, it is a task nobody owned. The specification should state which areas, surfaces and touchpoints are covered, how often, and who is responsible, so nothing falls between your team and the cleaning partner.
