A color-coded cleaning program is intended to help you identify different colored cleaning products such as rags, towels and cloths and mops for specific tasks or areas at the facility you clean and/or manage. Within the professional cleaning industry, there are many advantages to developing and integrating color coding into your existing program, including to:
- Control infection
- Prevent cross-contamination
- Differentiate for specific tasks or jobs
- Identify between departments
- Help bridge the language barrier
- Simplify employee training.
- Red: Use this color on sanitary appliances, restroom floors, toilets, and urinals. Also use red-coded mops on restroom floors.
- Yellow: This color is appropriate for other restroom surfaces, including sinks, towel dispensers, hand dryers, soap dispensers, door handles, walls.
- Green: Use green microfiber for general food and bar cleanup. Use green cloths and mops in non-preparatory food areas such as lunchrooms. An important note: Food prep areas have their own standards through the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system.
- Blue: Reserve this color for general low-risk areas, including common areas, offices, classrooms, etc.
