    This is what I use.;)

    I cut the seams on an old double bed duvet covet, to give double the size of the sheet.

    Best answer.
    Don't think of buying a large thin plastic sheet from a 'shed' can be a little slippery under foot.

    ps a proper professional dust sheet is OTT and expensive

    Ok. I don't know what they call :p
    Plastic one no good..

    It look like £10 - 12.
    Unfortunately, i don't have unwanted bed sheet/ curtain...
  • Using old sheets etc as dust sheets is fine if it's just dust that's the problem - but if you're likely to spill paint or anything else wet, then you need something with a plastic backing.

    Wickes do huge ones, hessian with a plastic backing, might be worth a look.
