In cleaning protocols, the green color code typically designates areas related to general food and bar services. This means that cleaning equipment and supplies marked with green are specifically for use in these areas to prevent cross-contamination.
Here's a breakdown of what that generally entails:
-
Purpose: To prevent the spread of bacteria and allergens between different areas, particularly from high-risk areas like restrooms to food preparation or service areas.
-
Application: Green-coded cloths, mops, buckets, and other cleaning tools are used for surfaces and equipment in food preparation areas, bars, and dining areas.
-
Examples:
- Wiping down tables in a restaurant.
- Cleaning bar surfaces.
- Mopping floors in a kitchen.
- Cleaning food preparation surfaces.
-
Importance: Using a color-coded system like this ensures that cleaning tools used in sensitive areas are not used elsewhere, minimizing the risk of contamination and promoting hygiene.
