Wax off Wax on

Under the inspiration of Ralph Macchio, we nocturnal, jetlagged nurses stripped, mopped and waxed the floors of the dining hall. In the words of Mr. Miyagi, "Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important." Breathing is very important in this line of work, Mr. Miyagi, but may I suggest taking the wax off before putting the wax on and only breathing in through your mouth?
