[Histonet] Keeping Histo room floor clean?

[Nicole Tatum]

I have a tool that I got from those odd ball lab supply company that carry
a little of everything. Its long like a broom handle and has a scraper
blade on the bottom with a removable replaceable blade. Cost like 20 bucks
works great then I just sweep it up.
