Examples:

• Use brooms, brushes, vacuums, squeegees, scrapers and other utensils to clean material before water is used. For example:

• Sweep floors and pavement instead of hosing with water.

• Vacuum or sweep dry material spills such as salt or dyes instead of using water.

• Use squeegees to collect food processing residues from the floor before hosing with water.

• Vacuum or sweep dust instead of hosing with water.

Benefits:

Dry sweeping methods conserve water and save water purchasing costs.
