Using quality drop sheets protects your surfaces when painting, check out available fabric cloth sheets, because there are different types.
Make sure you buy ones that won’t allow paint to soak through them onto your cherished furnishings - I would recommend choosing fabric drop sheets with plastic or rubber backing on them as they have two key benefits.
Firstly they provide a secondary protection from paint spills due to the extra backing which virtually guarantees no paint will soak through them, and secondly they provide good grip when placed on timber floors, which will eliminate any risk of slipping, sliding or falling whilst painting, which can occur when using standard drop sheets.
