wet floors

Caution sign territory

Wet floors are floors that have liquid on their surface, making them slippery and potentially hazardous.

The phrase appears most often on warning signs in public spaces: Caution: Wet Floors.

The warning has become so ubiquitous that the yellow folding sign is instantly recognizable.
