The color code applied to professional cleaning is arguably one of the simplest and most effective methods of preventing cross contamination.In cleaning, it is essential to maintain proper hygiene, avoiding that the materials used in one area are not used in another. For this, the use of these markings is very positive, selecting different colors and assigning each color a specific task such as cleaning toilets, kitchen area, entrance or reception areas.

Red

In bathrooms, for cleaning toilets and areas with a high bacteriological load.

Yellow

It is used in other less bacteriological areas (sinks, shower, etc.).

Green

for kitchen and food preparation areas.

White

for any other type of cleaning in general.

Blue

intended for general areas and is used very often to clean windows.

This color coding serves to immediately recognize the appropriate tools for each particular job but its main objective is to avoid the possible spread of some type of bacteria and at the same time it serves to maintain a greater order in the storage of cleaning tools. Of particular importance is the use of color codes to avoid cross contamination when using the same cleaning instruments in food contact areas with non-food contact areas.
