The use of colour coding helps prevent cross-contamination and improve hygiene by clearly and simply identifying to the cleaner the particular product (mop, bucket, duster, etc.) that should be used in any given situation.
Standards have been introduced and are increasingly being adhered to across the cleaning industry as follows:
RED - Washrooms & Toilet
YELLOW - Food & Serving Preparation
GREEN - Raw Food Preparation
BLUE - Low Risk Basic Cleaning
