Safety Signs and Carry Trays Product information
ClickCleaning stocks practical safety floor signs and carry trays that every cleaning operation needs. Wet floor signs aren't just about ticking boxes - they're your first line of defence against slip and fall accidents, whilst carry trays keep your cleaning kit organised and portable.
Let's be honest, nobody wants to deal with accident claims or insurance hassles. A simple wet floor sign can save you thousands in liability costs, and more importantly, prevent someone from getting hurt. The same goes for organisation - when your cleaning supplies are scattered all over the place, jobs take longer and things get forgotten.
Our range covers what actually works in the real world: the SYR SafeGuard-R signs made from 100% recycled plastic that won't tip over, the Quattro Premium signs that are built to last in busy environments, and practical blue carry trays that fit everything you need for most cleaning tasks.
The SYR SafeGuard-R is our top pick for good reason. It's made entirely from recycled plastic (539 grams per sign), so it's doing its bit for the environment whilst keeping people safe. What makes it special is the patented non-tip design with a clever top clip that locks the sign open and prevents it falling over when someone accidentally kicks it.
The sign uses in-mould printing technology, which basically means the warning message is part of the plastic itself rather than a stuck-on label that can peel off or fade. You get bright yellow colour with clear "Caution Wet Floor" text on both sides that you can read from any angle.
At 60cm high and weighing just 0.539kg, it's tall enough to be noticed but light enough to move around easily. The dimensions are 344mm long x 298mm wide when set up, so it covers enough floor space to be effective without being a trip hazard itself.
The Quattro Premium Safety Floor Sign is our heavy-duty option for places that see serious traffic. At 62cm high, it's slightly taller than the SYR model
and has that solid feel that says "business" rather than "cheap plastic sign that'll break next week."
What's clever about the Quattro is it's double-sided with different messages - "Caution Wet Floor" on one side and "Warning Cleaning in Progress" on the other. Just flip it around depending on what you're doing. The bright yellow colour and robust construction mean it'll keep working in demanding environments like hospitals, schools, and busy offices.
Both signs fold flat for storage, which is more important than you might think. Anyone who's tried to store a dozen rigid signs knows the struggle - these fold down and stack neatly without taking up half your cleaning cupboard.
Now, the Blue Carry Tray might not look exciting, but it's one of those simple tools that makes a real difference. It's basically a plastic caddy with compartments that keeps your cleaning supplies organised and portable.
The tray has multiple sections - perfect for separating your cleaning chemicals, cloths, small tools, and whatever else you need. No more hunting through bags or boxes to find what you need, and no more trips back to the storage cupboard because you forgot something.
Made from durable plastic that's chemical resistant, so it won't crack or discolour when cleaning products inevitably spill. The handle makes it easy to carry even when loaded up, and at 40cm x 30cm it's sized to hold plenty without being unwieldy.
These carry trays are particularly popular with housekeeping staff in hotels, office cleaners, and care home staff who need to move between rooms
efficiently. Instead of juggling bottles and cloths, everything stays in one place and you've got a free hand for opening doors.
Safety signs work best when people actually notice them, which means putting them in the right place and making sure they're visible from all directions. Don't just plonk one down and hope for the best - think about where people are walking and what might block their view.
The recycled aspect of the SYR signs is worth mentioning because more and more businesses are looking at their environmental impact. Using products made from recycled materials helps with sustainability goals without compromising on performance.
Storage is straightforward with both sign types - they fold flat and can be stacked or hung up. Keep them somewhere accessible because wet floor situations happen suddenly and you need to get a sign out quickly.
For the carry trays, they're easy to clean and maintain. Just wash with warm soapy water when needed, and they'll keep looking professional. The chemical-resistant plastic means you don't have to worry about damage from cleaning products.
Whether you're running a small office cleaning round or managing a large facility, having the right safety signs and organisation tools makes the job easier and safer. These aren't glamorous products, but they're the ones that keep operations running smoothly.
The key is choosing equipment that's built to last and actually works in practice. Cheap signs that tip over or crack aren't saving you money, and flimsy carry trays that split when loaded are just false economy.

Safety Floor Signs and Carry Trays FAQs
What's the difference between the SYR SafeGuard-R and Quattro Premium signs?
The main differences are materials and features. The SYR SafeGuard-R is made from 100% recycled plastic and has that clever patented non-tip design with a top clip that stops it falling over. It's 60cm high and designed to be environmentally friendly whilst doing the job properly.
The Quattro Premium is slightly taller at 62cm and feels more heavy-duty. It's double-sided with "Caution Wet Floor" on one side and "Warning Cleaning in Progress" on the other, so you get two signs in one.
Both are bright yellow and fold flat for storage. The SYR is better if you want the environmental benefits and non-tip feature. The Quattro is good for high-traffic areas where you need something robust and the dual messaging is useful.
Do these signs actually prevent accidents?
They help, but they're not magic. A proper wet floor sign alerts people to be careful, which reduces the chances of slips. But you still need to minimise the actual hazard - clean up spills quickly, use proper cleaning techniques, and don't leave floors wet longer than necessary.
The key is using them correctly. Put signs up before you start cleaning, position them where people can see them from all directions, and remove them when the floor's dry. A sign left out all the time becomes invisible.
From a legal perspective, using appropriate warning signs shows you're taking reasonable precautions, which is important if there's ever an accident claim.
Why should I choose recycled plastic signs?
The SYR SafeGuard-R being made from recycled plastic doesn't make it work any differently - it's still tough, bright, and effective. But if your business has sustainability goals or wants to reduce environmental impact, it's a simple way to make better choices without compromising on safety.
Some organisations specifically look for recycled content in their purchases, especially public sector bodies. The signs perform just as well as conventional plastic ones but help with green credentials.
How do I store these signs properly?
Both types fold completely flat, which is the beauty of them. You can stack them in a cupboard, hang them on a wall bracket, or slide them behind other equipment. Just make sure they're somewhere accessible because you often need them quickly.
Keep them clean and dry, and check occasionally that the folding mechanism is working smoothly. Don't store heavy things on top of them as this might affect the fold line over time.
What fits in the blue carry trays?
Most standard cleaning supplies. The compartments are designed for typical cleaning bottles, spray bottles, cloths, rubber gloves, small brushes, and the bits and pieces you need for general cleaning tasks.
Obviously, you can't fit a mop and bucket in there, but for room-to-room cleaning or maintenance tasks, they hold everything you need without multiple trips to the storage cupboard. The chemical-resistant plastic means you don't need to worry about spills or splashes.
Are these signs suitable for outdoor use?
Both signs are made from durable plastic that can handle normal weather conditions, but they're really designed for indoor use. Strong winds can blow them over (even with the non-tip design), and constant UV exposure will eventually fade any plastic sign.
For temporary outdoor use - like cleaning patios or dealing with spills - they'll do the job. But for permanent outdoor hazard marking, you'd want something specifically designed for weather exposure.
How visible are these signs in low light?
The bright yellow colour helps, but these aren't illuminated or reflective signs. In poor lighting conditions, you might need additional measures like temporary lighting or barrier tape to make hazards more obvious.
For areas with consistently poor lighting, consider whether better permanent lighting might be needed alongside the signs.
Do I need different signs for different types of hazards?
For wet floors, either of these signs works well. The Quattro's dual messaging gives you flexibility - use "Wet Floor" for cleaning situations and "Cleaning in Progress" for general maintenance work.
For other hazards like repairs, maintenance, or different types of spills, you might need specific signage. But for routine cleaning operations, these cover most situations you'll encounter.
How long do these signs typically last?
With normal use, both should last several years. The plastic is tough enough to handle being folded, moved around, and the occasional knock. The in-mould printing on the SYR signs won't peel or fade like stuck-on labels.
The main things that kill safety signs are being driven over by vehicles, extreme temperature changes, or being used as improvised tools for other jobs. Treat them reasonably and they'll serve you well.
Can I get custom printing on these signs?
The SYR SafeGuard-R range does offer custom printing options where you can add your company logo or specific messages, but this typically requires minimum order quantities and longer lead times.
For standard "Caution Wet Floor" messaging, the stock signs we carry are ready to go and cover what most businesses need. If you need something specific, contact us and we can check what's possible.
