Caution Cleaning In Progress Floor Stands
Caution Cleaning in Progress floor stands are portable hazard signs used by cleaners, caretakers and facilities teams to warn people before they step onto wet or recently cleaned floors. They suit entrances, corridors, washrooms and public areas where fast visual warning helps reduce slips.
Best Places to Use Caution Cleaning in Progress Floor Stands
You should place this floor stand at the approach to freshly mopped floors, spill clean-ups, washroom entrances, reception areas, canteen routes and corridors. Position it before the slippery surface so people can slow down, change direction or wait before stepping into the risk area.
Practical Viewing Distance Guidance
For a 630 mm floor stand, aim for clear visibility from around 3–6 metres in normal indoor foot traffic. In wider corridors, lobbies or entrance areas, place it earlier in the walking route so people see the warning before their next step, not once they are already on the wet floor.
What Improves Once the Floor Stand Is in Place
Used at the right point in the walking route, this stand changes behaviour quickly. People notice cleaning work sooner, cleaners get a clearer safety boundary and you reduce the chance of someone walking straight onto a damp or slippery surface.

✅ Place one at each likely approach point in corridors and entrances
✅ Remove it only when the floor is dry and normal grip has returned
