from a safety data sheet about a substance used in dental treament under heading: Verfahren zur Reinigung/Aufnahme

KenOldfield

take up (or pick up) mechanically and mop up the remainders

Explanation:
Habe mein Glossor für zahnärtzliche Sicherheitsdatenblätter konsultiert und folgendes gefunden:

Gehört in Abschnit 6 "Maßnahmen bei unbeabsichtigter Freisetzung" (Accidental Release Measures) 6.3 "Reinigungsverfahren" (Methods for cleaning-up)

Ähnliche Sätze hatte ich schon mal aus dem Englischen übersetzt:

In case, material is released or spilled, sweep up and place spill in a chemical waste container => Falls Stoffe freigesetz oder verschüttet werden, ist aufzukehren und Verschüttestes in einen Behälter für chemische Abfälle zu geben.

Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to save place => Verbleibende Flüssigkeiten mit Sand oder reaktionsträgen Absorptionsmitteln aufsaugen und an einen sicheren Platz bringen.

aufnehmen = take up (liquids), pick up
feucht aufwischen = to wipe, to mop up
das Bier vom Boden aufwischen = to mop the beer up off the floor (Collins German Dictionary),
