Colour coding of cloths should be used to minimise the risk of cross contamination of micro –organisms. Cleaning operatives would require training to understand the risks involved, i.e. would you use the same cloth to clean a toilet and wipe a workstation?

Colour coding recommended by BICSc.

• Red Cloths – Sanitary appliances and washroom floors

• Yellow Cloths – Wash basins and other washroom surfaces

• Blue Cloths – General lower risk areas (excluding food areas)

• Green Cloths – General food and bar use.
