Color Coding for Cleaning- Moonsoft Microfiber

June 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Color coding, as it applies to the professional cleaning industry, can be defined as the principle of using color to designate certain cleaning tools or procedures to specific tasks or areas.  
In most situations where it is incorporated, a few colors denote either a particular duty, such as cleaning toilets and urinals, or a specific area, such as restrooms.

RED: For cleaning showers, mirrors and other high risk restroom areas.      
BLUE: For all other areas and surface types, but never in areas where red, yellow, green tools are mandated. In the U.S, blue is often used to clean glass and for general cleaning in restrooms.
GREEN: For cleaning areas where food  is handled and  stored.
YELLOW: For cleaning showers, mirrors, and other low risk restroom areas
