Painters praise them, movers manipulate them and decorators definitely dig them. The elegantly understated drop cloth comes into play more often than you’d think: whether you’re covering flooring or protecting furniture, drop cloths are a reusable first line of defense. There are painters’ drop cloths, canvas and plastic drop cloths, and painters’ tarps depending on the job at hand. If you’re painting, supplement your drop cloth with paint rollers and frames, paint brushes and painting tools like extension poles, mixers, trays and more.
