Plastics & Hardware

Our range of Plastics & Hardware include colour coded Brushes, aluminium poles, buckets and mopping systems.

Color-coded mops & brushes are a system of using different colors to help maintain hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination in various settings, particularly in industries where cleanliness and sanitation are of utmost importance. Here’s how color-coded mops and brushes are typically used:

1. Food Service and Catering: In the food service industry, color-coded plastics and hardware are commonly used to prevent cross-contamination between different types of food. For example:
   • Red might be designated for use with raw meat.
   • Blue could be used for seafood.
   • Green might be designated for fruits and vegetables.
   • Yellow may be used for poultry.
2. Hospitals and Healthcare: In healthcare settings, color-coded systems help prevent the spread of infections. Different colors may be used for cleaning different areas or equipment:
   • Red might be used in isolation rooms.
   • Blue could be designated for cleaning surfaces in common areas.
   • Green may be used for cleaning medical equipment.
   • Yellow might be used for washroom cleaning.
3. Janitorial and Cleaning Services: In commercial cleaning, color-coded mops and brushes can be used to avoid cross-contamination between different parts of a building:
   • Red might be used for washroom cleaning.
   • Blue could be designated for office areas.
   • Green may be used for kitchen or food preparation areas.
   • Yellow might be used for floor cleaning.
4. Manufacturing and Industrial: In industrial settings, color-coded systems are used to maintain cleanliness and hygiene:
   • Different colors may designate mops and brushes for specific tasks, such as cleaning machinery, workstations, or floors.
   • This helps prevent contamination in production areas and ensures that mops & brushes are used for their intended purpose.
5. Laboratories: In research and scientific laboratories, color-coded brushes can help prevent contamination between experiments or lab areas. For example:
   • Red might be designated for hazardous materials.
   • Blue could be used for general lab cleaning.
   • Green may be designated for specific tasks or equipment.
6. General Cleaning: In some cases, color-coded mops and brushes are used for general cleaning in commercial and residential settings. For instance, different colors may indicate specific rooms or areas within a facility to prevent cross-contamination.

The specific color-coding system can vary by organization, and it’s essential to have clear guidelines and training in place to ensure that staff understand the color-coding scheme and use the appropriate brushes for each task. This helps maintain a clean and safe environment while reducing the risk of spreading harmful pathogens or contaminants.
