- Heads Up: Remember to order the compatible Clipex handle (DN819) as it is sold separately.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling bakery in York, needed to upgrade their cleaning tools to better comply with their HACCP plan. Their old brooms weren't colour-coded, leading to confusion and potential cross-contamination risks between the bakery floor and the staff areas.
"Switching to the Jantex colour-coded system was so straightforward. The green brooms are now exclusively for the main kitchen, and the team picked it up instantly. It's a simple change that gives us huge peace of mind about our hygiene processes."
David Chen – Head Baker
The bakery passed its next environmental health inspection with flying colours, with the officer specifically praising their clear and effective cleaning system.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure you have the compatible Jantex Clipex Handle (DN819).
- To attach, simply push the handle into the broom head socket until it 'clicks' securely.
- Give it a gentle tug to ensure the connection is firm before first use.
- Designate a specific storage spot for your green broom to maintain the colour-coding system.
Keeping It Going
- After use, tap the broom head gently to remove loose debris.
- The broom head is washable up to 100°C – ideal for a cycle in a commercial dishwasher.
- For manual cleaning, use hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Store hanging up, with bristles off the floor, to maintain their shape and effectiveness.

Ever wondered why professional cleaning gear comes in bright, distinct colours? It's not for fashion! This is a simple but incredibly effective system to prevent cross-contamination. Think of it like traffic lights for cleaning: each colour has a specific job in a designated area. The green of this 12in hygiene sweeper is widely used for kitchen and food preparation zones.
By using a green broom only in the kitchen, and say, a red one only for washrooms, you physically prevent the transfer of dangerous bacteria from a high-risk area to a food-safe one. It’s a visual, easy-to-follow rule that requires no complex training, helping your entire team maintain the highest standards of hygiene and easily comply with UK food safety laws.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurants & Cafés: Perfect for keeping kitchen and front-of-house areas spotless and compliant with food safety colour-coding standards.
- Schools & Nurseries: Ideal for sweeping up in dining halls and food prep zones, preventing germ spread with a dedicated brush.
- Clinics & Care Homes: A reliable tool for maintaining high hygiene standards in non-clinical areas like kitchens and canteens.
- Local Bakeries & Delis: The soft bristle commercial broom is excellent for sweeping fine flour and sugar without scratching floors.
