Let's see - I could have a precut piece of plastic waiting in that area and if I thought someone was coming in, I could quickly grab my throw down plastic and save the floor from a sheet of blood. Good idea. :o)
terrazzo floors, with hard sealant, great look, easy to maintain and the sealant can be removed quickly with some industrial dishwasher detergent and some hot water, reapply sealant with a sponge and in less than 5 hours there will be no evidence of a mess...not that i have given this any thought or anything...
