What Are Blue Rolls Used For? A Complete Guide
Share
Blue roll is one of the most versatile cleaning products a business can buy. But what exactly is it used for, and why is it blue? Here's a complete guide to blue roll and its many uses.
Why are they blue?
The blue colour isn't just for show. In food environments, blue is one colour that doesn't occur naturally in food, so if a piece of blue roll ends up where it shouldn't, it's instantly visible. That makes blue roll a food-safety favourite.

Eco vs premium blue roll
Our blue rolls come in eco (economical, everyday) and premium (thicker, more absorbent) grades, and in different lengths so you can match cost to how heavily you use them. For a full comparison with white, see blue roll vs white roll.
