Colour coding isn’t just for looks

Colour coding isn’t just for looks

Red for toilets and high-risk areas, blue for general spaces, green for kitchens, and yellow for clinical or isolation rooms. It’s a simple system that prevents cross contamination and keeps audits clean.

Overdosing chemicals doesn’t clean better

Overdosing chemicals doesn’t clean better

Using too much product can leave residue and waste money. Dosing pumps or pre-measured sachets give consistent results and make bottles last longer.

Microfibre lifts dirt without chemicals

Microfibre lifts dirt without chemicals

Each fibre is split hundreds of times finer than a human hair, trapping dust and bacteria with just water. They clean more effectively and can be washed and reused many times.

Bin bag strength is measured by gauge

Bin bag strength is measured by gauge

A higher gauge means thicker plastic and more tear resistance. Choose lighter bags for office or nursery waste and heavy-duty ones for care or kitchen bins. The right grade helps prevent splits and reduces plastic waste.

More bubbles don’t mean cleaner dishes

More bubbles don’t mean cleaner dishes

Foam looks satisfying, but it doesn’t add cleaning power. Dishwashing liquids are effective because of the surfactants, not the bubbles. Too much foam can even make rinsing harder and leave streaks.

Limescale makes cleaning harder, not just uglier

Limescale makes cleaning harder, not just uglier

Hard water leaves chalky deposits on taps, sinks and kettles that can trap bacteria and damage surfaces. Using descaler regularly keeps equipment efficient and reduces energy use.

FAQs

Where can I get the COSHH datasheet?
You can download the COSHH datasheet directly from each product page on our website. They’re also stored in your own online document library once you’ve purchased, so you can access them anytime. Keeping them organised this way makes compliance checks and inspections much simpler.
What is BS EN1276?
BS EN1276 is a British and European standard that proves a disinfectant kills 99.999% of bacteria within five minutes. Products with this certification have been independently tested for effectiveness, so you know they meet strict hygiene requirements in care, education and food environments.
Why is floor gel so thick?
The thickness helps the cleaner stay on the floor surface longer, giving it more contact time to lift dirt and grease. It also makes dilution easier and ensures the product spreads evenly without running into corners or drying too quickly.
Why do some cleaning products need rinsing?
Some disinfectants and detergents leave a residue that can make floors sticky or dull if not rinsed away. Always check the label instructions, rinse-free products are convenient for quick cleans, but those needing a rinse usually provide a deeper sanitising effect.
Do I need to wear PPE when cleaning?
Yes, for most concentrated chemicals you should wear gloves, and in some cases eye protection or aprons. Even mild products can irritate the skin after repeated use. PPE keeps staff safe and helps meet COSHH requirements in regulated environments.
Why do we use colour coding for cleaning?
It prevents the spread of germs between different areas. Using separate cloths, buckets and mops for toilets, kitchens and general spaces reduces cross contamination and helps staff stay compliant with hygiene audits.
