These work pretty well to keep wax from being spread around too much. https://www.grainger.com/product/PLASTICOVER-Floor-Protection-Mats-45MT85
Place them strategically in thresholds and high traffic areas. Unlike the blue semi-permanent ones you mentioned, which break down, when these get dirty, you just peel off the dirty layer, and there is a clean sheet underneath. 30 sheets a box. Use with the aforementioned twice monthly floor stripping. Or get the floor stripped once and tell your techs that they are responsible for keeping the floor in that condition. Make a clean floor a priority just like getting slides out. As in, you can't leave for the day until your area is scraped and swept. Depends on whether or not you want to pay histotechs to scrape floors. Maybe assign it to lab aides? It only takes a few minutes a day if you start with a clean floor. Personally, I hate working in a dirty lab. _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
