  • Handle Not Included: Remember to purchase a compatible SYR handle separately.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Cardiff needed to formalise their cleaning procedures to better align with food safety regulations. Their old, generic brooms were causing concerns about cross-contamination between the front-of-house and  the kitchen prep area.

"Introducing a colour-coded system with these SYR heads was brilliant. The green brooms stay in the kitchen, red ones in the loos. It’s a simple visual cue for all staff, new or old, and  our local EHO was very impressed on their last visit."

Robert Davies – Owner

The change helped them streamline their cleaning process and  demonstrate clear compliance, boosting staff confidence and  kitchen hygiene.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have a compatible SYR handle (sold separately) for a secure fit.
  • Simply screw the broom head onto the handle until it is tight and  doesn't wobble.
  • Immediately designate this green broom for use in the kitchen or food prep areas only.
  • We recommend a wall-mounted rack to keep cleaning tools organised and  off the floor.

Keeping It Going

  • After each use, tap the head firmly outdoors or into a bin to dislodge trapped debris.
  • To clean, wash the head with warm water and  a suitable detergent to remove grease and  grime.
  • Always hang the broom to air dry, preferably with the bristles facing down to maintain their shape.
  • Periodically check the bristles for signs of significant wear and  replace the head to ensure peak performance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Cleaning Tools

Not sure what fits best for your business? A few key things can help you decide.

Match Bristles to Debris

Soft bristles, like on this model, are for fine dust, flour, and  powders on smooth floors. Stiff bristles are better for tackling larger, heavier debris, often outdoors.

Understand Colour Codes

Using a colour-coded system is best practice. Green is for kitchens, red for bathrooms, blue for general areas. Sticking to this prevents cross-contamination.

Consider the Head Size

A wider head like this 12" (305mm) model covers ground quickly in open areas. For very small, tight kitchens, a smaller head might be more nimble.

Check Handle Compatibility

Many professional heads and  handles are sold separately to allow for customisation. Always check that the handle you choose is compatible with the head's fitting.

Think About Durability

Commercial cleaning tools get a lot of use. Investing in a recognised brand like Scot Young means you're getting a product built to last in a tough environment.

Why Colour-Coding is a Kitchen Essential

Ever wondered why professional cleaning gear comes in different colours? It’s not for decoration! It's a simple, highly effective system to stop dangerous germs from spreading. This green hygiene broom head is part of that system, which is used across the UK and  recommended by health inspectors.

Think of it like traffic lights for your cleaning equipment. Green is universally designated for kitchen and  food preparation areas. Red is for high-risk sanitary areas like toilets, blue is for general lower-risk areas (like a dining room), and  yellow is for washbasins and  other specific surfaces. By keeping a green broom strictly for the kitchen, you eliminate the risk of dragging bacteria from a toilet floor into the area where food is made. It's one of the simplest, cheapest, and  most powerful ways to protect your customers and  your reputation.

    Perfect for sweeping fine flour, icing sugar, and  dust from bakery floors without creating a cloud.
