# Colour-Coded Cleaning

processes 

System that assigns specific colours to cleaning tools for use in defined areas.

## Definition

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.

## Why it matters

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

## Practical applications

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