Kim wipes work great, and if done after each block shouldn't slow things down much. Besides, what's the point of quantity when the quality is compromised with floaters. You should have a policy regarding this since it is a CAP requirement.

Our doctors are very picky and I need some tips on keeping an immaculate clean waterbath, but not sacrificing the speed in a regular routine lab. We use the pyrex waterbath and paper towels for wiping our area.
