I thought I would continue on with the clean up theme today. Yesterday’s tip “Tip of the Day: How do I clean up glitter?“, started with the leftover glitter. Today, we will move on to the snow flocking and any styrofoam that was left behind. We have sold quite a bit of crushed styrofoam that is used as artificial snow. Hopefully, this will make the cleanup a little more painless.
The main problem when cleaning up styrofoam and snow flocking is air current created in trying to pick it up and the fact that they produce quite a bit of static electricity. The static electricity is what can cause it to just seemingly blow away as you try to wipe it up especially when using a cotton rag. How can you kill both of these birds with one stone? Use anti-static spray. The link sends you to Walmart but it is pretty commonly available.
To use the anti-static spray, first spray a light layer on the snow flocking/styrofoam. The cleanup is most easily accompished with a shop vac or a vacuum that allows for attachements. On the tip of the shop vac or attachment, spray some of the anti-static spray. Try not to use the normal vacuuming motion of forward and back. Instead, dab at the piles of styrofoam from above. This will slow you down but ultimately help you to cleanup a greater amount.
