Short answer

Check and record pooled water after washing, before loading and on return. Inspect drainage and packaging; follow the cleaning acceptance procedure until the source is identified.

Water on the floor may come from washing, product, condensation or drainage. Wiping it away hides recurrence.

Separate the symptom. Angle, drying position or package liquid can leave similar signs. Record whether the event began before or after dispatch.
