Product Information

The easiest way of ensuring all employees follow hygiene and COSHH practices is by having them all adhere to a colour coded cleaning system. Each area that needs cleaning is given a colour and then the equipment for that area is assigned the same colour. This makes it very simple for everyone to follow the rules while keeping all equipment safe from spreading bacteria. This system is based around the designation of a colour to each area to be cleaned, and using colour coding on cleaning chemicals. Red is a hazardous warning colour and as such, should be assigned to the area with the most bacteria. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.

Never assume that mops are self cleaning due to being covered in cleaning chemicals. This isn’t the case because as soon as moisture hits them, bacteria build. Therefore, whatever your mop preference, they need cleaning after every use. Colour coded mops are mops given a specific colour to represent their intended use, or the area they should be used within. This means that everyone using them understands what they should be used for. Some companies design their own colour coded system but most use the universally accepted one introduced by BICS.

You can get up to 500 washes out of these before they need to buy replacements. Cleaners work with potentially harmful chemicals and also have to be extremely careful to prevent cross contamination. This can be the generic red, yellow, blue and green or you can come up with your own unique colour chart.
