a good one for the care industry this one. A sponge - ultra
porous - with bigger psonge-holes to facilitate the capture
of
errant peas and sweetcorn bits
Issue them with one of these each.

I thought the existing standard was sawdust? |
|
| |
Having mopped up (other people's) vomit on a disturbuingly large number of occisions, I fear that this would not work. Vomit comes in many forms, ranging in viscosity, colouration, stench and "chunk-factor." Each vomit-mopping must be dealt with as an individual problem with an individual solution. A unitary system of vomit removal is but a pipe-dream. |
|
| |
There is not a sponge on Earth that can effectively deal with vomit. You may get the liquid, but you'll never, ever get the stringy bits of cheese. |
|

Very graphic calum. When I worked in a butchers it was always sawdust we used to clean up the more repugnant mess. There might be many other alternatives, but I think this is probably the best. |
|
| |
How about you rub the offending person's face in their own vomit? It works for dogs when you rub their noses in their own jobbies - surely it would also work for jakies? |
|
| |
Or perhaps you'd just end up getting chibbed. Hmmm. Sawdust still seems like the best option, really. |
|
| |
What is it with you and jakies salachair? |
|
| |
OK, [calum], thanks for your input. Show of hands if eeew! |
|
| |
Apologies for any stomach-turning that I caused. In actual fact, what is posted above is a much more polite version of what I originally intended to write. |
|
| |
But, y'know, vomit is disgusting, vomiting is disgusting and the more people are reminded of that fact the less likely (I hope) it is that they will vomit and leave the mess for some other poor swine to mop. With or without a vomit-sponge. |
|
| |
And salachair, you are becoming more Glaswegian with every anno: chibbed, jakies, jobbies. Have you ingested a copy of "The Patter"? |
|
| |
[calum] it's not "the patter", it's "ra patter". And the "t"s are silent, apparently. As you know only too well. |
|
| |
I, on the other hand, am far too well-heeled to know anything about such matters. |
|
| |
What's wrong with a wet-vac? |
|
| |
In dazwah's defense, 'clean up after yourself' is a good meme. I don't think any mere sponge will promulgate it though. |
|
| |
//And the "t"s are silent// |
|
| |
<weegee>Naw, thur no. Thur glo'al plosives... cause ye make it wi yer glo'is, like.</weegee> |
|

Yet again, GuyFox, I bow to your superior knowledge and wisdom. Us good folks of "Sooth Maryhill" know not of such speech patterns. Anyway, I'm far too posh for that. Aye, ahm ur. Naw, hang oan, ahm urny. Oops. |
