Colour-Coded Cleaning

Colour-coded cleaning is a hygiene control system that assigns specific colours (for example red, blue, green, yellow) to cloths, mops, and buckets used in different zones such as toilets, kitchens, general areas, or clinical spaces to prevent cross-contamination.

Reduces the risk of transferring microorganisms between high-risk and low-risk areas and simplifies staff training and audit.

Widely used in healthcare cleaning, food premises, schools, and commercial facilities, often aligned with national colour-coding guidance.
