Use of Color-Coded Microfiber Cloths Can Reduce Cross-Contamination

Also known as Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), color coding creates a universal language that is easily and clearly understood. Assigning specific cleaning tasks to color-coded cleaning tools can drastically reduce or eliminate cross-contamination. For cleaning most surfaces, microfiber cloths, dusters and mop pads are the most effective material available.

Devise Your Own Color-Coding System

Most businesses assign color-coded cleaning tools to specific cleaning tasks. Most operations assign red tools to critical or high-risk tasks and blue is generally used for glass & mirrors. But, it’s entirely up to you, how to color-code your cleaning operations.

Make Sure Everyone is On the Same Page

Whatever color-coding system you devise, make sure everyone knows the system.
