Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli, a popular sandwich shop in Bristol, was struggling with cleaning cloths that would disintegrate after just one busy lunch service. They needed a more robust solution to keep their front-of-house counters and food prep areas consistently spotless without constant replacement.
"We were going through so many cloths it was becoming a significant weekly expense. The Spontex cloths are in a different league. They last so much longer, and they just clean better. Our staff love them because they don't have to fight with a soggy, torn rag anymore."
Ben Carter – Owner, The Corner Deli
After switching to the Spontex CD812, The Corner Deli cut its weekly cloth consumption by over 60%, leading to significant cost savings and a noticeable improvement in surface cleanliness.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the cloth a thorough rinse under warm water to remove any production residue.
- Integrate into your HACCP or in-house cleaning plan – yellow is typically for general, lower-risk areas like sinks and washroom surfaces.
- Designate specific cloths for specific zones to maximise your colour-coding hygiene system.
- Store unused cloths in a dry, clean place, away from direct sunlight.
Keeping It Going
- Rinse thoroughly and wring out completely after every use to prevent bacteria growth.
- Cloths can be machine washed at up to 60°C. Avoid using fabric softener as it can reduce absorbency.
- Allow cloths to air dry fully between uses. Do not leave them bunched up and damp.
- Replace the cloth immediately if it becomes permanently stained, damaged, or develops an odour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these cloths machine washable?
A: Yes, the Spontex CD812 cloths can be machine washed at temperatures up to 60°C to sanitise them for reuse. We recommend avoiding fabric softeners.
Q: What is the standard use for a yellow cleaning cloth?
A: In standard industry colour-coding, yellow is typically reserved for general cleaning of washroom surfaces, such as sinks, mirrors, and tiles, to avoid cross-contamination with kitchen or toilet areas.
Q: Will they scratch delicate surfaces like glass or polished steel?
A: No, the cellulose material is non-abrasive and safe for use on most standard commercial surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, and laminates, without causing scratches.
Q: What does 'polyester scrim' actually do?
A: The polyester scrim is an internal mesh that reinforces the cloth, making it much stronger and more resistant to tearing than a standard sponge cloth. It adds durability without sacrificing flexibility.
Q: How absorbent are these compared to a regular sponge?
A: They offer excellent absorbency thanks to their cellulose composition, comparable to a good quality sponge but in a more versatile and durable cloth format.
Q: Can I use these cloths with bleach or strong chemical cleaners?
A: While the cloths are durable, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals like neat bleach can degrade the cellulose fibres over time. It is always best to use them with standard sanitisers and multi-surface cleaners.
Q: Do they leave lint or fibres behind on surfaces?
A: These are designed to be low-linting, especially after an initial rinse, making them suitable for achieving a streak-free finish on counters and glass.
Q: How long does one cloth typically last in a busy commercial kitchen?
A: Lifespan depends on usage, but thanks to the reinforced design, they will significantly outlast standard cloths, often lasting for many shifts with proper rinsing and care.

Explore more from SpontexThe Science of a Superior Wipe: What is a Polyester Scrim?
Ever wondered what gives these Spontex cloths their surprising strength? The secret is the 'polyester scrim'. In simple terms, it's a fine, grid-like mesh of strong polyester fibres embedded within the absorbent cellulose material. Think of it like the steel rebar used to reinforce concrete – the scrim acts as a tough internal skeleton for the cloth.
This smart design means you get the best of both worlds. The cellulose part does the heavy lifting of soaking up liquids, while the scrim provides tear resistance and structural integrity, stopping the cloth from ripping or falling apart when you're scrubbing a tough spot. It’s this hidden technology that turns a simple wipe into a durable, long-lasting cleaning tool fit for professional use.
Who Should Buy This?
