Dry ice does not need cleanup. It goes through an amazing process called sublimation. This is where it turns directly from a solid to a gas (bypassing the liquid state). If you have extra dry ice, you can just leave it alone and it will disappear over a period of time.

When handling dry ice it is highly recommended that you wear proper clothing. Wear insulated or leather gloves to protect your hands, heavy-duty gloves are recommended, oven mitts or thick towels can be good alternatives as well. Wear safety glasses, long-sleeved shirts and jackets, pants, long socks and closed shoes to protect your skin from direct contact with dry ice. The very cold temperature of dry ice can burn the skin with prolonged contact.

Use tongs when picking up or transferring dry ice from one container to another.
