Colour-coded cleaning tools for food plant zones
Colour-coded tools keep each plant zone’s mops, brushes and squeegees separate, so soil and microbes are not carried from raw to finished areas. INNOVA tools use food-grade materials. A zone chart sets one colour per area: red for raw milk, green for the packing hall, blue for utilities and yellow for amenities.

Why it matters for audits
Auditors look for controls that stop soil and microbes moving between areas. One colour per zone is a control that every operator can see and follow, even on a busy shift. It also makes the cleaning records easier to check. See the FSSAI Schedule 4 cleaning checklist.
Colour-Coded Cleaning Tools: quick answers
Why use colour-coded cleaning tools?
Each colour stays in one zone, so tools do not carry soil or microbes from one area to another. A common dairy scheme is red for raw milk areas, green for the packing hall and product contact, blue for utilities and yellow for washrooms and canteens.
Why do auditors ask about colour coding?
FSSAI Schedule 4 and food safety audits expect controls against cross-contamination. Zone-coded tools are a simple, visible control that staff can follow.
Can you match our existing colour scheme?
Yes. Tell us your zones and colours and we supply tools and a chart to match.
How often should colour-coded tools be replaced?
Replace a brush or mop when bristles splay, heads fray or it cannot be cleaned back to its colour. Check tools at each shift handover and keep spares of each colour so no zone borrows from another.
How do I clean and store colour-coded tools?
Wash tools after each shift in the zone they belong to, sanitise them, then hang them off the floor on a shadow board of the same colour so they dry and stay in their zone.
