As one of the UK’s leading suppliers of cleaning and hygiene products and equipment, Centrefeed Blue Roll is one of top selling products. Every year, our customers consume more than 20,000 rolls which, if laid out end to end, is enough Blue Roll to cross the Atlantic.

It will come as no surprise that we love blue roll, and therefore, to celebrate this unsung hero of the cleaning world, we’re going to share everything you need to know about this janitorial staple in this short, and easy to absorb (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves) article.

What is Centrefeed Blue Roll?

Centrefeed Blue Roll, often referred to simply as Blue Roll, is a blue tinted paper towel commonly used across various industries where high standards of hygiene and cleanliness are required such as agriculture, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, healthcare, and education. It is an essential tool for hygiene and cleaning tasks, especially in high-consumption environments like kitchens and toilets.

Centrefeed Blue Roll is typically a large roll of blue paper towels with the paper being dispensed from the centre of the roll. This design allows for easy access and reduces waste, as users can pull out as much paper as they need to complete their cleaning task.

What are the key features of Blue Roll?

Durable & Highly Absorbent: Often made from recycled paper or virgin pulp, Centrefeed Blue Roll is strong and highly absorbent making it suitable for tough cleaning tasks.
Versatile: Blue Roll can be used for a wide variety of tasks from mopping up spills, wiping surfaces, cleaning down equipment, drying hands and even wiping noses.
Hygienic: Blue Roll is often used in food preparation area and medical environments where the blue colour makes it easily identifiable and distinguishable from regular household tissue products.
Cost effective: These rolls come in many sizes, with common dimensions being 150 meters in length and 165mm in width. Blue Roll is economical and can reduce the frequency of restocking compared to paper towels or other rolls.
Dispensing Method: Designed to be dispensed from the centre of the roll, reduces wastage, and ensures a consistent supply of paper.

Where can Centrefeed Blue Roll be used?

Blue Roll can be used to clean up in almost any environment. However, it is particularly useful in places where heavy duty cleaning is required, for example:

Industrial and Workshop Settings: For cleaning hands, tools, and surfaces. The durability and absorbency make it ideal for greasy or oily conditions.
Food Preparation Areas: Used for wiping down surfaces and equipment, helping to maintain hygiene standards.
Healthcare Facilities: For cleaning and drying purposes, reducing cross-contamination risks.
Kitchens & Toilets: To clean surfaces, handle spills, and maintain cleanliness.

What sizes is Centrefeed Blue Roll available in?

Centrefeed Blue Roll comes in a variety of sizes and lengths, typically measured in metres. At AUK Hygiene, we can supply our customers with Blue Roll that is typically 165mm wide and 150m long.

Do I need a Blue Roll dispenser?

Centrefeed Blue Roll can be used with or without a dispenser. However, leaving your Blue Roll lying around could lead to unwanted wastage as the paper gets wet or damaged. Dispensers will help to keep your Blue Roll clean and dry. They can be wall mounted for convenient access, or alternatively, our portable Blue Roll dispenser enables you to carry your Blue Roll to the scene of the spill without the risk of contamination. What is more, the portable blue roll Tork Reflex™ Single Sheet Centrefeed system allows you to reduce consumption by up to 37% compared to standard, free flow Centrefeed whilst on the move. Ideal for use in hospitality, contract cleaning and other mobile environments, this robust dispensing system also boasts a ‘Run out indicator’ which means you will never be left without paper when you need it most.

Is Centrefeed Blue Roll Eco-friendly?

Yes, Centrefeed Blue Roll is considered an environmentally friendly product. Most manufacturers, including the ones we source our products from, produce Blue Roll from recycled materials. Once used, the paper is designed to be biodegradable.
