How Commercial Cleaning Cloths Work
Commercial cleaning cloths do much more than just wipe surfaces. The magic lies in their specialised construction—microfibre varieties feature ultra-fine fibres that physically trap bacteria, grease and grime rather than just pushing it around. Colour-coded systems work by assigning specific colours to different areas (red for high-risk, blue for general surfaces, green for food prep), instantly preventing cross-contamination. Many professional cloths feature antimicrobial treatments that actively inhibit bacterial growth between washes. Unlike regular kitchen wipes, these cloths maintain their effectiveness through hundreds of commercial laundry cycles, making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly for busy kitchens.

"Don’t underestimate the humble cleaning cloth—it’s your first line of defence against cross-contamination and grime. Go for colour-coded, high-quality cloths and change them often; your kitchen (and EHO) will thank you!"
Safety Guidelines
- Separate Storage Keep clean and dirty cloths completely separated—prevents recontamination.
- Chemical Compatibility Check cloth materials work with your sanitisers—avoids degradation.
- Hot Surface Care Use temperature-resistant cloths for grill cleaning—prevents melting.
- Hand Protection Wear gloves when handling soiled cloths—protects skin.
- Regular Replacement Discard cloths showing signs of wear—maintains hygiene standards.
- Contamination Control Never use floor cloths on food surfaces—critical for safety.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Cleaning Cloths
To maximise hygiene and lifespan, wash cloths at 60°C minimum with commercial detergent—home washing isn't sufficient for professional environments. Implement a strict rotation system where cloths are changed every 2 hours during service. Train staff on the colour-coding system to prevent mix-ups, and consider using sanitising buckets for temporary storage during shifts. For microfibre cloths, avoid fabric softeners which clog the fibres and reduce effectiveness. Finally, air-dry rather than tumble dry to preserve the antimicrobial properties.
Benefits of Using Commercial Cleaning Cloths

- Cost Efficiency Outlasts disposable alternatives—saves money long-term.
