Why Choose Microfibre for Commercial Cleaning?
Microfibre has become the industry standard in professional cleaning for good reason. Compared to traditional cleaning materials, microfibre offers:
Superior Cleaning Performance
- Removes 99% of bacteria without chemicals (vs 30-50% with cotton)
- Ultra-fine fibres trap dirt, dust, and grime more effectively
- Lint-free and streak-free results on all surfaces
- Works on virtually any surface - glass, wood, stainless steel, plastic, tiles
Cost-Effectiveness
- One microfibre cloth replaces hundreds of disposable wipes
- Machine washable 500+ times - years of use
- Reduces chemical usage by up to 90%
- Faster cleaning = reduced labour costs
- Bulk discounts provide even greater savings
Environmental Benefits
- Drastically reduces disposable waste
- Minimizes chemical cleaning product usage
- Lower water consumption due to high absorbency
- Long lifespan reduces manufacturing impact
- Helps achieve environmental certifications and sustainability goals
Health & Safety

Colour-Coded Cleaning Systems
Colour-coding is essential for commercial cleaning to prevent cross-contamination and meet health & safety requirements. The standard UK colour-coding system is:
- Red: Sanitary/toilet areas, high-risk washrooms
- Yellow: Clinical/washroom areas (sinks, baths, showers)
- Green: Kitchen and food preparation areas
- Blue: Low-risk general areas (offices, hallways, desks)
We supply microfibre cloths in all these colours to help you implement proper colour-coding systems. This is especially important for:
- Healthcare facilities (required for infection control)
- Food service businesses (required by FSA regulations)
- Hotels (best practice for housekeeping)
- Schools (health & safety compliance)
