The washcloth: the essential tool!

Professional washcloth essential for hygiene

Professional cleaning and disinfection cloths are essential cleaning and hygiene tools to maintain a clean and hygienic environment . Whether in hotels, healthcare facilities, hospitals, central kitchens, restaurants, offices or the catering and out-of-home sector, a quality professional cloth can make all the difference in terms of cleaning and disinfection efficiency. The use of disinfectant products alone is not enough. A cleaning company cannot do without cleaning and disinfection protocols incorporating professional cloths or microfibre cloths with colour codes!

How to choose from the professional cloths available on the market, including Vileda , Chicopee or 3M cloths, and use the cloth best suited to your needs?

Choosing the right cloth for cleaning

Choosing the professional cleaning and disinfecting cloth that best suits your needs can seem difficult given the variety of products available on the market. However, by keeping a few key criteria you will be able to choose the cloth that is suitable for the use and expected durability.
Composition of the Cloth: The composition of the cloth is an important factor to consider when choosing. Non-woven cloths are very popular due to their high strength, softness and ability to effectively absorb liquids. They are ideal for cleaning and disinfection tasks in the professional field, whether in catering, in the community or in hospitals. In the case of use in disinfection operations, the option of a short-use cloth may be preferred. On the other hand, microfiber cloths such as those offered by Vileda are renowned for their ability to trap dirt particles and eliminate bacteria. They are ideal for environments requiring thorough disinfection.
Durability and resistance: The durability and resistance of the cloth are essential aspects for professional use, especially if you need a cloth that can be reused several times . Opt for a high-quality cloth that can withstand multiple washes without losing its absorption and cleaning properties in order to have an optimal economic approach but also a reduction in waste. In this context, it will be necessary to pay particular attention to the number of washing cycles supported by the cloth and the drying conditions. Some cloths such as microfibers do not tolerate bleach or fabric softeners.
Hygiene level: In some environments, such as healthcare facilities or the catering sector, hygiene is essential. So make sure you choose a cloth that meets the strictest hygiene standards, particularly in the context of compliance with a hygiene plan such as Haccp. Some cloths, such as Chicopee's super cloths, have antibacterial properties or have bacteriostatic properties (bacteria and germs cannot grow on the cloth) or are Ecolabel certified, which guarantees their respect for the environment. Chicopee, with its super cloth, remains one of the key historic players in this field.
Size and format
The size and format of the cloth can also play a significant role in its effectiveness and is directly related to the type of surfaces being cleaned. Larger cloths can be more effective for cleaning large areas, while smaller cloths are more practical for precision tasks. The size of the cloth also determines the amount of material in the user's hand and also plays a safety role.

Professional washcloth in detail

Washcloth and disinfection set colors by area

Using a cloth helps limit bacterial contamination and the transmission of germs from one surface to another. First, you must put a methodology in place to partition the areas to be cleaned and disinfected.
It is traditional to define the areas as follows at a minimum: kitchen or food preparation area, sanitary area, office and tertiary area.
Each of these areas will be assigned a washcloth color code and here too there is an unwritten "rule" but which is the most commonly encountered, namely: red or pink for the toilets , yellow for the kitchen or food preparation area and blue for the office area.
You can then add cloths of other colors such as green or white in the case of an even finer separation of areas and surfaces.
The application of the Haccp method will be all the easier if these color codes for floor cloths and mops are put in place.

Focus on the advantages of Vileda cloths

One of the most trusted brands in the field of cleaning cloths is Vileda. Their range of cloths offers many benefits, including exceptional build quality, increased durability and superior cleaning performance. Vileda cloths are designed to meet the specific requirements of different environments, such as kitchens, bathrooms or workspaces. Thanks to their high-quality composition, these cloths offer excellent absorption and high dirt and liquid retention capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Cloths

Why implement color codes for washcloths?

Colour coding can help you introduce a colour protocol into your establishment, avoiding cross-contamination and contributing to health and safety. Each colour corresponds to an area that must be separated from the other. This method avoids for example using the same cloth in the toilets and then in the kitchen...

What is the advantage of a washcloth over a sponge?

Even though there are now synthetic foam sponges in different colors and adapted to the Haccp plan, a dishcloth remains much safer in terms of hygiene than a traditional sponge made from cellulose products such as wood pulp, cotton or linen. A dishcloth like the super dishcloth guarantees an antibacterial action and food contact approval. In addition, a dishcloth can be machine washed or autoclaved, which is not the case for a sponge.

What is a microfiber cloth?

Microfiber cloths are made of extremely fine textile fibers, with a diameter of less than 9 micrometers. This microscopic structure gives them remarkable properties that distinguish them from traditional cleaning materials such as cotton or sponges.
Microfiber can be made from synthetic materials such as polyester or polyamide. This composition allows it to be highly resistant, durable and easily washable, while providing cleaning efficiency with exceptional absorption capacity.

Should I use my cloth dry or wet?

A cloth is mainly used soaked in a disinfectant detergent solution prepared in advance in a 6-liter surface bucket. The cloths can be prepared in advance or soaked as you go. In a hospital or sensitive environment, the cloths will be prepared in advance in order to respect a protocol of one cloth per room, for example.
In the particular case of dusting cloths such as certain microfibers, they will be used dry as a dust "magnet".
