For any UK business in hospitality, care, or facilities, one visit matters more than most: the EHO inspection. A poor hygiene rating can damage reputation, risk fines, or even close your doors.
The good news? With the right cleaning practices and reliable supplies, staying compliant doesn’t have to be difficult.
Why EHO Compliance Matters
EHO checks are about more than passing an inspection. They protect:
- Residents and customers from illness.
- Staff from unsafe conditions.
- Your reputation and repeat business.
Every business should aim to be inspected – ready every day.
Hygiene Best Practices to Follow
1. Colour -Coded Cleaning
Use colour-coded clothes, mops, and buckets to avoid cross-contamination.
- Red = washrooms
- Blue = general areas
- Green = food prep
- Yellow = infection control
A simple system that EHOs love to see.
2. Train Your Staff
Even the best products won’t work if used incorrectly. Regular training on chemical handling, dilution, and cleaning routines keeps standards high.
3. Use Checklists
Daily and weekly cleaning schedules prevent mistakes and show inspectors you’re serious about compliance.
The Right Methods & Products
- Microfiber vs. Traditional Cloths: Microfiber traps more dirt and bacteria, reduces chemical use, and saves money over time.
- Chemicals That Work: Cheap products can fail to disinfect properly. Commercial-grade solutions protect kitchens, care homes, and public spaces.
- Sanitizing vs. Disinfecting: Sanitizing reduces bacteria to safe levels (good for food contact areas). Disinfecting eliminates almost all germs (essential in care homes).
