The tool store notice
A community orchard is revising a notice for volunteers who use its tool store.
After using a tool, clean it and return it to the wall rack. Don't just dump muddy tools on the floor because somebody could go flying.
The second sentence gives an important warning, but its language is too informal for the notice.
Choose the sentence that keeps the warning clear and uses a suitable formal tone.
Muddy tools left on the floor may cause someone to trip.
Muddy tools should be moved if they begin to cause a problem.
Muddy tools left on the floor may make the store look untidy.
People carrying muddy tools should take care beside the wall rack.
