Why Should You Pair Your Paint Company With SpillFix?

If you paint homes for a living, you know spilled paint causes a lot of problems. Because of paint’s slick nature, spilled paint creates a dangerous work environment for employees. Also, spilling buckets of paint in a client’s home could lead to stains on their floors. To ensure the productivity of your paint company, workers and owners should properly prepare themselves for the job to reduce the risk of spills. For example, by laying drop cloths on the floor under the work area, painters limit the risk of staining the floor. Painters should also always securely tape the cloth to the ground after removing as many wrinkles as possible to avoid inadvertent tripping. Workers should only keep paint cans they are currently using close while painting, and they should store the rest of their supplies in a vehicle or another room to decrease the instances of accidentally knocking cans over. Still, despite a worker’s best effort, accidents and spills do occur, and it’s important to have supplies on hand to address this potential problem. Keeping a spill absorbent product – like SpillFix – around the office and bringing it with you to jobs will give you an extra edge to clean spills quickly and efficiently. What is SpillFix?
