4-Color Coding system
The basic thinking behind Colour Coded Cleaning: Use colours to segregate the different types of tasks you have to carry on areas you have to clean to avoid cross contamination of bacteria, germs and viruses. This easy system is an established cleaning standard in professional environments like hospitals and restaurants where cross contamination will lead to illness. There you would not want to clean the surfaces of a kitchen with a cloth that has been previously used to clean the toilet bowl (bathroom tiles). The best practice in a hospital should be good enough for your home.
Colour coding can be broken down into 4 areas:
For this system to work you will need to assign different colours of cleaning cloths to each area, making it easily identifiable. This hygienic cleaning system can be applied to any cleaning equipment used in each area: e.g. from microfiber cloths to scouring sponges.

Regular change of refills
As bacteria, viruses and germs multiply particularly well in a moist environment it is important to let the cleaning equipment dry well and change or wash cleaning cloths frequently.
All Vileda cloths and scouring sponges are very durable and can be washed at a temperature of at least 60° C or higher.
Sustainable cleaning and washing begins by using several refills at home and washing them all together.
