Why colour-coded cloths are the secret to a hygienic home

Keeping a clean home isn’t just about wiping surfaces, it’s about making sure the tools you’re cleaning with aren’t spreading germs from one room to another, and for most households that’s exactly what’s happening. Kitchen cloth end up in the bathroom. Bathroom sponges make their way onto highchairs. Cloths meant for dusting accidentally get used on benches. 

It’s a common problem, and one that leads to one thing: cross-contamination. 

That’s where colour-coded cleaning comes in. The simplest, safest way to keep every area of your home hygienic and organised. 

The hidden hygiene problem in most homes. 

Even the cleanest-looking homes are guilt of a few common cloth mistakes. These small habits might seem harmless, but they quietly spread germs around the house. The most common cross-contamination issues include: 

1. Using the same cloth for multiple rooms: A cloth used on bathroom surfaces should never end up on the kitchen bench, but in busy homes it often does. When cloths look the same, mix-ups happen.
   
   
2. Cleaning high-touch areas with the wrong cloth: Door handles, highchairs, taps and light switches all need a hygienic wipe-down. Using a cloth that previously touched bathroom grime increases the risk of spreading bacteria.
   
   

‘Quick wipe’ habits that move germs, not remove them: Grabbing whatever cloth is closest, even if it was used earlier for floors, pet mess, or bathroom surfaces is one of the biggest hygiene slip-ups. 

Cloths going missing in laundry loads: Once they’re washed, identical cloths become even harder to track. Which one was for the kitchen? The bathroom? The toilet?
