have found the best drop cloth to use is a flattened cardboard box.
when you place the item on it you can easily turn it around to reach all sides of the piece you are working on from one position. you can just swirl the cardboard to view the side you need to work on. since the cardboard slides easily on flooring it makes painting furniture in place or close to where it will go very easy.
if you don’t finish painting in one day, you can simply slide the cardboard with the furniture still on it out of the way until you have time to work on it again.
easy clean-up. simply
