      In dry climates, the water actually will dry itself relatively quickly as long as there’s not an overwhelming amount. In more humid areas though, yup.

        Yup, I live in a desert climate and only clean up big puddles. Anything that doesn’t make a splash when I step on it will be gone in under an hour, probably closer to 15 min.

      Well, water does evaporate at less than 212° at the surface. It’s just that the entirety of a pot of water will boil if it reaches 212.

      Just think about puddles or whatever after rain on a metallic surface or concrete. It’s not entirely being absorbed or cleaned up by anyone.
