The Right Drop Cloth 101. Stop Paint Spills With the Right Gear.

What happens here

He explicitly advises against plastic-coated drop cloths, as the plastic film tends to tear easily, compromising their effectiveness. CoverGrip drop cloths are mentioned as a good example of rubber-coated, non-slip options.
