GoKlean Simplifies Cleaning Product Colors

Do you prefer your go-to cleaning product to be a certain color?  Do you like your purple degreaser, your green all-purpose cleaner, your orange cleaner/degreaser, or your blue glass cleaner?

There have been studies and anecdotal stories about changing the color of a cleaning product and nothing else about it including the scent and people felt it cleaned differently, typically not as effectively.

While there are not official industry standards for cleaning product colors, there are commonly accepted norms.  Blue is for low-risk areas like mirrors; green is used in general cleaning like food preparation areas, serving areas, and general cleaning; red/orange is reserved for high-risk areas like toilets; and yellow is for back-of-house cleaning and washroom surfaces.

Some companies color code their rags, reusable wipers, and microfiber cloths with their cleaning product colors for specific purposes or for use with specific products, so that for example:  a rag that touched a toilet even after being washed never touches a food prep area.  Kitchens color code their cutting boards so the meats are not cut on the same board as the vegetables etc.

Colors also effect feelings in all of us.  Chromatics, the study of color, helps us understand what specific colors communicates. 

Green evokes safety, life, and freshness.

Blue calmness and confidence.

Red urgency, energy, and danger.

Purple wisdom, dignity, and vision.

Yellow is joy, cheerfulness, and friendliness.

Brown use in moderation.
