Product Information
Full details
This VIDAXL Painter Fleece in grey is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals undertaking painting, renovation, or refurbishment projects. Its primary benefit is providing robust, reliable protection for floors and surfaces against paint spills, dust, and scratches, ensuring a clean worksite. A minor caveat is that while it offers excellent protection, its non-woven fabric is absorbent, so immediate cleanup of large spills is still recommended. Key features include a durable, absorbent non-woven fabric with a waterproof PE film backing, a non-slip underside for stability, and a generous size (10 x 1m) for versatile coverage that can be easily cut to fit any space.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the fleece?
The fleece measures 10 meters in length and 1 meter in width, providing a total coverage area of 25 square meters.
Is the fleece waterproof?
The fleece has a PE (polyethylene) film coating on the back which makes it water-resistant, effectively preventing liquids from passing through to the surface below.
Can I reuse the painter fleece?
The fleece can be reused for light duty if it remains in good condition and is free from significant stains or damage. Ensure it is completely dry before storing or reusing.
How do I cut the fleece to size?
You can easily cut the fleece to your desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. It is recommended to make clean, straight cuts for the best fit and performance.
What is the weight of the fleece per square meter?
The painter fleece has a weight of 220 g/m², indicating a good balance of durability and manageability.
Is the non-slip backing effective on all floor types?
The non-slip backing is designed to provide stability on most common floor types. For extremely smooth or wet surfaces, additional measures like tape might be considered, but it generally holds well.
What is the best way to dispose of the fleece after use?
After the project is complete, dispose of the fleece responsibly according to your local waste disposal regulations. It is typically treated as general waste.
Troubleshooting
Fleece shifting during use
Ensure the PE film (waterproof) side is facing down. Smooth out wrinkles completely. If the floor surface is exceptionally smooth and dry, consider using painter's tape along the edges for added security, though the non-slip backing is designed to prevent movement.
Paint seeping through to the floor
While the PE film offers water resistance, the non-woven fabric is absorbent. For very heavy spills, immediately blot the excess paint. Ensure the fleece is properly laid flat without gaps. The fleece is best suited for preventing drips and minor splashes rather than prolonged immersion.
Fleece tearing easily
Avoid dragging sharp or heavy objects directly across the fleece. Use caution when placing tools or furniture on it. For heavily trafficked areas, consider doubling up the fleece or using it in conjunction with a more robust temporary floor protection.
