Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Slice', a bustling pizza parlour in Manchester, needed to standardise their cleaning procedures after hiring several new kitchen porters. They found that verbal instructions were being forgotten during busy shifts, leading to inconsistencies.
"This sign immediately cleared up any confusion. New staff can see exactly what to use for the food prep areas versus the washrooms. Our cleaning is more consistent, and training is so much faster. It just makes everyone's job easier and safer."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The result was a more confident team and a perfect score on the cleaning and safety section of their latest EHO visit.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before application.
- Choose a highly visible, well-lit location at eye-level, ideally near your cleaning station or COSHH locker.
- Carefully peel the backing paper from the self-adhesive cleaning safety sign.
- Position the sign and press it firmly onto the surface, smoothing from the centre outwards to remove air bubbles.
Keeping It Going
- Regularly wipe the sign's surface with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean and legible.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as they could damage the printed surface.
- Periodically check that the sign is still securely attached to the wall, especially in steamy environments.
- If it needs replacing, ensure the old one is fully removed and the surface is cleaned before applying a new one.

Explore more from JantexWhy Colour Coding is Your First Line of Defence
Ever wondered why colour coding is so vital? Think of it like traffic lights for your cleaning equipment. Using a red-handled mop in a food prep area would be like running a red light – a major hazard. This system assigns a specific colour to a specific area to prevent the transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another. For example, red is typically for high-risk sanitary areas (like toilets), while green is reserved exclusively for kitchen and food preparation zones. This commercial colour coded cleaning sign acts as the rulebook, instantly showing staff which 'light' applies where. It's a simple, visual language that breaks down barriers and turns a complex safety rule into an easy-to-follow habit, forming the backbone of a safe and compliant commercial kitchen.
