    I would have thought so too, but take a look at this link from HSE
    (Health and Safety Executive, UK Gov website) if you have Adobe
    Acrobat. 

    http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/chis5.pdf 

    It mentions the effects of liquid propane. 

    Another New Zealand site lists effects and first aid for LPG spills
    as a liquid, on skin, eyes, etc. 

    http://www.ongas.co.nz/safety/LPG_MSDS.pdf 

    However they do describe an LP spill as boiling and quickly
    evaporating (or vaporizing promptly, as you mentioned), which
    doesn't sound like the stuff that she had to mop up. I hope she
    posts again to let us know how this problem was solved.
