subject: Garage Floor Protector: Protecting Your Surfaces From Unsightly Liquid Spills [print this page] Do you worry about all the ugly stains and oil splotches that you keep finding on your garage floor? Beyond being unsightly, these dark blots can cause you or a member of your family to slip and fall in your garage. What's more, they are very difficult to remove, and it will take a lot of expense on your part to have your garage resurfaced just to get rid of the stains and ensure your safety.
Fortunately, there are other options you can take to prevent having these unattractive stains and splotches from dirtying your garage floor. One of the ways you can do so is to invest in catch all floor mats, a type of garage floor protector product that can absorb all the liquid stains and debris that fall from the various vehicles, sports equipment, vehicle maintenance products, bicycles, lawn mowers, or rusty machinery that you may have stored in your garage.
These garage floor mats are made of industrial strength material and have a super absorbent quality that will last for a long time. They are sometimes known as universal oil drip mats that are made with a non-penetrable backing. If you have this type of garage floor protector in your garage, you'll find that it can take on antifreeze, all types of liquid spills, oil, grease, rust, and gallons of water. The tough backing will prevent all these liquid messes from reaching your garage floor, and you'll be grateful for that extra protection.
Having these catch all floor mats are particularly beneficial if you have a leaky car or lawn mower in your garage. If you park your car outside on your driveway, you can throw in a couple of these garage floor protectors on the surface of the ground, as well. This can protect the environment from the pollution damage wrought by a leaky car. Without a tough and absorbent garage floor mat underneath, any oil or grease spills can be washed away with the rain and contaminate your community's ground water.
You can also lay catch all floor mats on your home's walkways, around heavy duty equipment, and even on office walkways. The backing on these mats are skid and slip resistant, which means they can be installed anywhere to keep people from slipping or falling during wet weather.
If you are thinking that these kinds of mats are expensive, think again. Despite being of industrial strength quality, they are surprisingly cost-efficient. They are also so tough and absorbent that they last longer than regular mats sold in stores.
Depending on the dimensions of your garage or the surface areas you want to lay them on, they are available in a wide rage of sizes. In fact, they can be small enough to place under a motorcycle, or long enough to fit a 150-feet long driveway. You can also opt to buy a whole roll of the material, and cut it to fit any room or surface in your house that faces the risk of liquid spills like oil, grease, rust, and other messy staining fluids.
