Protect Hard Floors With Rosin Paper
Both canvas and plastic dropcloths are slippery when laid over wood, vinyl and tile. For protection that stays put on hard surfaces, you can’t beat rosin paper. Just tape sheets of it together and then tape the perimeter to the floor. Be sure to clean wood floors thoroughly before laying down the paper; grit trapped underneath can lead to scratches. A single layer will protect against paint drips, but wipe up any spills before they can soak through. A 400-sq.-ft. roll of rosin paper costs only about $8 at home centers.
