it reminded me to mop my studio.
used five gallons of clean soapy water...splash in on the
floor.
scrub mop. flush.
it all goes down the drain to the outside.
studio has a slope to the drain.

then i windex'd the counters and lots of
paper towel.

then i spread oiled sawdust.

i have a 25 gallon drum of sawdust.
get it at butch's sawmill.
the good stuff.
i mix paint thinner with no 30 oil...the cheap
stuff. then mix it into the sawdust.

but, mop first.

just did the lung test at my doc...she said

The University of South Alabama has one of the best set ups for
cleaning. Sloped floors to a long trough drain in the floor. Watering
wands used to water ferns to wet and push everything to the drains
with squeegees to finish up the rest. I have been in many studios both
private and at public institutions and this is the best, in my
opinion, set up I have seen.

I don't dismiss the use of HEPA vacs with the same caveat as
everything else, PROPER USE AND MAINTENANCE!
