Guest Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 What procedures do you following for wiping tables and surfaces? Do you use colour-coded cloths or do you use blue-roll?
Guest Wolfie Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 We used three different coloured rolls, one for the kitchen and food preparation, one for wiping tables and one for arts and crafts. I don't know if you've got a Makro or cash and carry near you? They do rolls of different coloured cloths at very reasonable prices.
Sue R Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 We use yellow for kitchen/food prep also prior to meals on table surfaces (previously covered); blue for messy activities and general room use and red for bathroom and other dubious-ooer incidents! Similar make up to J cloths. Yellow and blue can be laundered once or twice (I think! will check), but red are discarded immediately. Sue
Guest Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 We use red for kitchen work surfaces & snack bar table cloth. Yellow for washing up food utentils, plates etc. Blue for the loo heavier duty cloth for paints & floor spills. I cut a small square of each colour, glued to an A4 card and wrote next to each cloth its purpose. This is displayed for all to see. Washing same as Sue R. Peggy
Alison Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 we use coloured J-cloths pink for the sink (kitchen/ food areas) blue for the loo Yellow for general purpose (main play room table areas) in general we tend to use fresh J-cloths each day
narnia Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 we use blue for the loo (all cleaning in there) and pink for the sink (kitchen!) just makes it easier to remember and yellow for general wiping of tables/messy play.
Guest Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 We use blue roll and spray for lunch tables Yellow j cloths for sink pink j cloths for art. Throw away end of the day I like Peggys idea of the cloth disply card for staff I think I will make one of those
Steve Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Personally I like the category of 'oo-er incidents'. Is that how you describe them in your policies Sue?
hali Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 yes we use coloured coded and throw away at end of week..
Inge Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 colour coded changed daily or sometimes mid day if a particularly messy day. Inge
belle06 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 we used to use coliured coded cloths but EV advised us to use disposable cloths so now use cloths and kitchen roll
Guest MaryEMac Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 We use kitchen roll. We used to have two different coloured cloths for kitchen and wiping tables after paint etc but the after school group kept mixing them up. Mary
Guest Wolfie Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Yes, we were advised to use disposable cloths as well - very convenient but more costly and not really environmentally friendly!!
Guest Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 We have green (or blue depends what is on offer!) paper towel dispensers all around the nursery and we use these with anti-bacterial spray on our tables. Just seen the lunar eclipse - very strange ! Teri
Rea Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Red cloths - art spills Green - food Yellow - toilet and other. But, as the art is done on the tables we eat from I tend to use a paper towel.
Guest Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Red cloths for toilets etc. Blue cloths painting area Disposable cloths for cleaning tables and kitchen area We also have gloves in different colours red ones toilets blue ones cleaning painting equipment, glue pots etc yellow ones for washing cups, plates etc. Linda
