Protect Your Floors the Right Way: What to Use (and What to Avoid) When Painting

A successful paint job isn’t just about what goes on the walls — it’s also about keeping everything else clean while you work. One of the best ways to save time on cleanup is to use proper floor coverings before you even open a paint can.

Old sheets, painter’s tarps, or canvas drop cloths are ideal for catching drips and spills. These materials stay in place and won’t bleed paint through to the floor. Avoid using newspaper or printed materials — they can stick, tear easily, and even transfer ink onto surfaces.

Taking this simple step keeps your space tidy and protects your flooring from costly damage, making your painting project smoother from start to finish.
