Mopped surface hazard
A wet floor is a floor surface covered with water or other liquid, typically from cleaning, spills, or weather.
The phrase appears most often on warning signs in public spaces: Caution: Wet Floor.
The warning exists because wet floors are slippery and pose a fall hazard.
I almost slipped on the wet floor by the entrance.
