Hygiene Products

Good hygiene supports effective spill management. Once a spill is contained and absorbed, the next step is removing residues, preventing cross-contamination, and keeping hands, tools, and work areas clean. This is especially important in environments where food safety, product quality, and housekeeping standards are closely monitored.

If your spill risks include inks, solvents, cleaning fluids, or other hazardous substances, make sure your procedures align with COSHH requirements. For further guidance, we recommend consulting the HSE’s COSHH and printers – key messages and their COSHH Essentials direct advice for the printing industry for detailed control measures.

How hygiene products fit into spill response

Absorbents and spill kits are designed to contain and remove bulk liquid. Hygiene products help you finish the job properly by:

• Removing light residues after absorption to reduce slip risk and re-contamination
• Supporting safe hand hygiene after handling absorbents, waste bags, and tools
• Improving housekeeping standards in production, maintenance, and welfare areas
• Helping teams follow consistent clean-as-you-go routines

Hand and tool cleaning wipes

Industrial wipes are ideal for quick clean-ups during maintenance tasks, after small drips, or when teams need to clean hands and tools without leaving the work area. For example:

• Muckyz Scrub wipes for tough grime in workshops and on-site work

Paper rolls and general wiping

Strong wipers and paper rolls are useful for day-to-day wipe-downs, light contamination, and keeping benches, trolleys, and equipment clean:

• Wiper Roll Twinpack for general wiping and cleaning tasks

Degreasers and cleaning solutions

Where oils, greases, or process residues are present, a suitable degreaser helps lift residues after the bulk spill is contained and absorbed:

• Spillpod Degreaser for tackling tough grease and oil residues
• Multi-Use Biodegradable Aqueous Degreaser (5L) for broader cleaning and degreasing needs

Pair hygiene products with the right spill equipment

Hygiene products work best when they are part of a simple, repeatable spill routine. Depending on the liquids you handle, you may also want to review:

• General Purpose Spill Kits for everyday leaks, drips, and non-hazardous liquids
• Oil and Fuel Spill Kits for hydrocarbons where water-repellent absorbents are required
• Absorbents if you need pads, socks, and rolls for fast containment and clean-up

Good practice tips

• Store wipes and cleaners close to spill kit locations so teams can complete the clean-down without delay
• Use separate wipes/cleaning tools for welfare areas versus production or chemical handling zones
• Always follow site COSHH assessments and product instructions, including PPE and disposal requirements
• Dispose of used absorbents, wipes, and contaminated PPE responsibly in line with your waste procedures
