Color-Coded Cleaning

Would you clean your kitchen sink with the same cloth you used to clean your toilet?

Definitely not! But what if someone else has? This is why colour coding is vital. A decade ago, the National Patient Safety Agency developed a National Colour Coding Scheme for cleaning materials to standardise what had been a varied system. At Caxton’s you’ll find all our hygiene products are colour coded.

Below is NPSA colour code chart used across the hygiene industry:

Red – bathrooms, washrooms, showers, toilets, basins and bathroom floors

Blue – general areas including wards, departments, offices and basins in public areas

Green – catering departments, ward kitchen areas and patient food service at ward level
