- Clear Purpose: The red colour makes staff training on hygiene protocols incredibly simple.
- Limited Durability: They are semi-disposable, so not intended for repeated, heavy-duty machine washing.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Meadowside Community Centre in Glasgow needed to simplify its cleaning process for a rotating team of volunteers. Ensuring proper hygiene protocols were followed in their busy public washrooms was a constant challenge, leading to concerns about cross-contamination.
"Switching to these red cloths was brilliant. It's a simple visual cue that everyone understands instantly: red is for the loos and sinks. It's taken the worry out of our cleaning and the fresh scent is a nice bonus."
Robert Green – Centre Manager
The change led to a marked improvement in hygiene compliance and made volunteer training significantly faster and more effective.

- Unpack and store the cloths in a clean, dry area away from chemicals.

- Post a colour-coding chart in your supply closet as a helpful reminder for staff.
Keeping It Going

- For light use, you can hand rinse thoroughly in a designated 'dirty' sink and allow to air dry.
- Avoid machine washing, as it can degrade the material and reduce effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the red cloths specifically for?
A: The red colour designates them for use in high-risk sanitary areas only, such as toilets, urinals, and the surrounding floors, to prevent the spread of germs to other areas.
Q: How many cloths are in a pack?
A: Each pack contains 50 Jantex HT494 cleaning cloths.
Q: Are these cloths machine washable?
A: They are designed as semi-disposable. For maximum hygiene, it's best to dispose of them after use in high-germ areas. They can be hand-rinsed for light duties but are not intended for machine washing.
Q: What material are they made of?
A: They are made from a blend of 30% viscose for absorbency and 70% polyester for durability.
Q: How large is each cloth?
A: Each cloth is a generous 600mm by 300mm, providing a large surface area for efficient cleaning.
Q: Is the lemon scent very strong?
A: No, it's a subtle and fresh scent designed to leave a pleasant, clean aroma without being overpowering.
Q: Are they absorbent enough for spills?
A: Yes, the viscose content gives them strong absorbent properties, making them effective for wiping surfaces and cleaning up minor liquid spills in a washroom setting.
Q: Can I use these on other surfaces?
A: You shouldn't. The red colour is a vital part of a hygiene safety system. Using it outside the washroom would defeat the purpose and create a cross-contamination risk.

Ever wondered why professional cleaning supplies come in different colours? It’s not for decoration; it’s a crucial safety system. The colour-coding on these red washroom cleaning cloths is your secret weapon for preventing cross-contamination. Think of it like traffic lights for your cleaning routine: red means 'stop and use only here'—in this case, for high-risk areas like toilets, urinals, and sanitary fittings where harmful bacteria thrive.
By strictly using red cloths in the washroom, you create a simple, visual barrier that stops germs from being accidentally wiped onto other surfaces, like a kitchen counter or a customer's table. This system, recommended by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), is one of the easiest and most effective ways to uphold hygiene standards, protect customers and staff, and train your team with absolute clarity.
