Cleaning Shadow Boards / Cleaning Stations
Clearly organised cleaning tools and equipment with defined positions, so the expected arrangement is visible and easy to maintain.
Overview
Cleaning Shadow Boards / Cleaning Stations for the way your team works
Cleaning equipment is easy to overlook until it is needed at short notice. A cleaning shadow board or station gives buckets, brushes, squeegees and other cleaning tools clear storage positions, so the expected arrangement is visible and equipment can be found and returned quickly.
The layout is designed around the actual cleaning tools used on site, the space available and how cleaning is organised across the work areas.

What is a cleaning shadow board?
A cleaning shadow board is a visual storage system that gives cleaning tools and equipment defined positions, so the expected arrangement is visible and easy to maintain.
What cleaning equipment can be organised?
Buckets, brushes, squeegees, mops, shovels and other cleaning tools can each be given a defined position. The layout is designed around the equipment used on site.
Can cleaning stations include colour coding?
Labels, colours and identification can be matched to your existing workplace standards where that supports clear organisation.
Can cleaning boards be wall-mounted, freestanding or mobile?
Different formats can suit different applications. The right choice depends on the work area, available space and whether the equipment needs to move.
How it works
From cleaning equipment to a clear standard
The system is designed around the cleaning tools actually used on site, where they are stored and who uses them. What matters is that the expected arrangement is visible and easy to maintain.
1
Identify the equipment
A list or photographs of the cleaning tools and where they are used starts the design.
2
Design the layout
Positions, holders and labels are mapped to the equipment and work area.
3
Keep the standard visible
Defined positions make it easier for teams to return equipment and spot what is missing.
