[Histonet] Keeping Histo room floor clean?

[histotech <@t> imagesbyhopper.com]

We don't keep it off the floor, but do use a wide-bladed putty knife attached to a mop handle to scrape the residual wax off the floor. It woks quite nicely and doesn't remove the actual floor wax like a razor blade scrapper would.
