Sand Sweeping

Something new to me, but which I've seen quite a lot here, is the method of cleaning when it's wet outside. It makes sense not to mop the floor with soapy water, with the amount of foot traffic going through, but this is a solution that I've never seen before.

Buckets of sand are tipped onto the floor, then pushed around, picking up the footprints and water left by customers. It's just a small example of slightly different local practices, I suppose, but I was mystified at first. Had the builders left a mess?
