Re: [Histonet] Wax removal
Hi, Thanks for the reminder. We purchased them from Lab Safety Supply. They are called Safety Treads, and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The one we have is 6 X 24 in (I guesstimated the size wrong earlier) and it's part number is 10766BR. Here is a link to the web page for them: http://www.labsafety.com/search/10766/24527943/?GoButton=Go I hope this helps, it has worked great for us! Oh and getting them to sweep more regularly helped too, we were having a lot of trouble with dust.

They are usually used on stairs. They are like 8 inch wide 3 foot long strips of sandpaper that stick (really well) to the floor. I have them placed about 1 per foot along main traffic areas. I don't recall off the top of my head where we got them from, but if you'd like, I'll look it up on Monday.

Housekeeping has laid sticky layered mats all over our floors (like large mouse traps), which they peel off layer by layer as they become wax covered. Apparently these are very expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

We get our anti-fatigue mats from Lab Safety Supply. They have an extra thick one that I highly recommend. WANDA G.
