Why Colour-Coding Matters in Commercial Kitchens

Colour-coding assigns a specific cloth or scourer colour to a specific zone – red for raw meat prep, blue for general surfaces, green for veg, yellow for high-risk or allergen areas. It’s the simplest way to stop cross-contamination, and it’s a core requirement environmental health officers check for during food safety inspections. Get it wrong and it’s a flag on your next audit; get it right and it’s a five-minute conversation.

FAQ – Wholesale Colour Coded Cloths

What is colour-coded cleaning and why do commercial kitchens use it?

It’s a system where each cloth, sponge or scourer colour is dedicated to one zone – raw meat, veg, dairy, general surfaces or toilets. Kitchens use it because it’s the fastest way to prevent cross-contamination and it’s what environmental health officers expect to see under HACCP.

Do you supply cloths and scourers in bulk?

Yes. Every line on this page is available in cleaning cloths bulk pack sizes suited to daily kitchen use, so you’re not reordering every week.

What colours are used for colour-coded cleaning?

The standard UK convention is red for raw meat, yellow for high-risk or allergen areas, green for fruit and veg, and blue for general or front-of-house surfaces. Some kitchens add white for bakery and dairy.

Are your scourers safe on non-stick and stainless steel surfaces?

We stock a range of kitchen scourers from light-duty for non-stick pans through to heavy-duty griddle scourers for stainless steel and cast iron, so check the product spec for the right grade before use.
