Product Information

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. You need to consider which colours you would like to use for each area that you clean. These can roughly be divided up into; bathrooms, kitchens, dining areas and public areas. This system is based around the designation of a colour to each area to be cleaned, and using colour coding on cleaning chemicals. Some companies design their own colour coded system but most use the universally accepted one introduced by BICS.

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. When cleaners are hired to clean buildings such as hospitals, they will be asked about their protocols. They will be expected to minimise any risk of cross contamination and the colour coded system is a perfect way of achieving this.

You may need to change these broad guidelines in some cases though. It depends on how frequently they get used and how hazardous the area is. You will almost definitely feel the need to replace the bathroom mops before the ones used for the hallways. Your next job is to buy all the equipment required and colour coordinate it according to your new system.

This includes any areas where food is stored, prepared and cooked. Most medical settings have a kitchen for preparing patients’ meals and other facilities too. These areas must be kept remarkably clean to stop cross contamination. The easiest way of ensuring all employees follow hygiene and COSHH practices is by having them all adhere to a colour coded cleaning system. Red is a hazardous warning colour and as such, should be assigned to the area with the most bacteria.As well as choosing colours and colour coordinating all the equipment, thought should also be given to how it will be stored and kept apart. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Cleaners work with potentially harmful chemicals and also have to be extremely careful to prevent cross contamination. COSHH guidance for cleaning emphasises and enforces the importance of cleaning safely and responsibly. This involves identifying and minimising risks involved with handling cleaning chemicals. You need to be sure you are using the appropriate detergent and, ideally, a high temperature for the cycle.
