So I wanted to poll people to see if there is a corelation between ethnicity and cleaning of liquids technique. So post your ethnicity and cleaning style.
I am kidding, of course. I'd hope that'd be obvious, but ....
Cast prestidigitation.
I'm American. My heritage is 50% Polish, 25% Irish and 25% German. I take care of spills the same way every red blooded American does. I tell my fiancee "Hey! There's a spill over there!" and watch as she cleans it up. ;)

I am an American, and that is my preferred method as well.

OK I KNOW neither one of you is married. Or your not married to an American woman. ;)
"There's no reason to cry over spilled milk" a saying goes - it's not beer after all!
If the spill is on a surface he cannot reach, I will perform elaborate calculus in order to determine whether it would be more work to go get something with which to clean it up myself or to lift the fat beagle up so that he can reach. The calculus invariably proves more difficult than either course of action, and is usually wrong anyway.
Such is my sloth. And my beagle.
Kill all witnesses.
PTG stands for "Paper Towel Guy." The PTG's job is to hurl himself on spills before it reaches someone, usually with the warcry of "Fire in the hole!" or the like.
I generally soak up a big spill. After that or for a smaller spill I clean in a circular motion and try not to spread it too far while doing so.
Set fire to desk.
Kill all witnesses.
But only in a not too messy way, or else they're be more fires to set and witnesses to kill.

Your lighter may run out of gas.

Who needs a lighter?
I practically have Fireball as an at-will power...
so we toss paper towels on it like a bullet wound and let the towels do the work for us.
but for the OP
it depends on what your cleaning....not ethnicity. lol
if its thin like water you dont wipe....you dab at it so you soak it up.
if your cleaning up windex you wipe, for that streak free shine TM.
if its salsa or bean dip (common for gamers) dabbing will do nothing but make a mess and smash beans in the surface....using circles makes a bigger mess, so you can only wipe it up....
which way do you wipe you ask?
i have a question in return.....
which way do all humans wipe their ......butts?!.. if you are side to side then you have some serious issues and a very dirty asbut.

Whoa, hold right there!
This thread was about spills, not butts.
Combining the two does not work well.
What's "wiping"?
Cleaning with a rag, paper towel, or such.
Mop it up with the 4E PHB.
Hey, you didn't give your ethnicity! I didn't because its in my user name, but that doesn't give you any excuse! ;)
Toxic substances I use a paper towel, non-toxic substances I use a rag, and spiritual spills are best cleaned up with a +1 Turkey Baster.
