Keeping the pit tidy during rush

I’m on the 10pm–6am crew, and the 1 a.m. cocktail surge around the blackjack pit means constant sticky rings and napkin bits underfoot. I hit spots with neutral pH in a spray bottle and a 24-inch microfiber flat mop, but it still feels tacky five minutes later. What’s your fastest way to lift sugary spills between hands without clogging the walkway with cones?

Same 10–6 here: if it stays tacky, it’s residue. Mix about 10% isopropyl into your ‘neutral pH’ bottle and follow the spritz with a dry pass using a clean 24-inch pad — cuts sugar fast and flashes off, so no cones. What floor finish are you on, VCT or sealed concrete?

Quick fix: warm water spritz, then waffle-weave towel foot-blot; swap pads often… https://info.jondon.com/blog/why-are-my-floors-sticky Hot water OK on your finish?
