Cover the floor with paper towels

Question

¿Pudieras poner toallas por todo el suelo? Deja de trapear. Tienes que buscar un montón de toallas y ponerlas por todo el suelo.

Cover - poner VS cubrir

Does - Tienes que buscar un montón de toallas y cubriror todo el suelo (con ellos?) work here, I think poner is better.

I think buscar is get here, and conseguir doesn't work

Gracias.

Could you put towels all over the floor? Stop mopping. You have to get a bunch of towels and cover the floor with them. (it's all wet)

I would say: "Podrías poner toallas por todo el suelo? Deja de trapear. Tienes que traer (bring) un montón de toallas y cubrir el suelo con ellas. Está todo mojado Cover=cubrir; put=poner; find=conseguir

Hope it helps!

Yes it does Jeezzle, I go with this answer. ;) - Dakie, Sep 1, 2011

Answer 2

In such a case, I would empty the mop bucket. Then I would mop and wring the mop, mop and wring the mop. Of course the mop bucket I used had a mop wringer built into it and it was a big mop, too. One restaurant I worked at had floor drains that we could squeegee the water into with a floor squeegee.

Thanks for all the extra pertinent information, Webbie! ;)) - territurtle, Sep 1, 2011

A different approach:

¿Podrias colocar toallas de papel por todo el piso?. Para de trapear. Tienes que conseguir un montón de toallas y cubrirlo con ellas. ( está todo mojado)
