All About Spill Containment In The Home

By Clarissa Osborn


Spill containment is not always easy when you are not sure what you are dealing with. It is important to clean up any kind of spill as soon as possible to avoid damaging anything else around. For instance, a mess on the counter could end up traveling across the counter and down the wooden cabinet doors causing damage.

Many companies have drains in the floor which can help clean up any liquid spills. When a mess happens they just take a squeegee and mop it towards the drain and it slowly drains itself out because they drains are usually set in the floor to where they are lower than the actual level of the floor.

Sometimes other items may be needed for instance gloves if the spill is something that might hurt your skin. Sometimes the clean up process is more than it would be if you just spilled water. Sometimes other precautionary things have to be done in order to keep everyone safe.

Containing a spill in a restaurant is different than it would be at home. Many places like this have drains in the floor and the drains are set lower in the floor than the actual level of the floor, this is better for fluids to go down easier.

Sometimes a mess may require special trained people to clean them up. If a large semi truck that is carrying something toxic wrecks and they have to contain the liquid that spills then they will have to bring in people to clean it up.

Containing messes can sometimes be hard if you have a small child or if you're clumsy. Just make sure you keep plenty of items on hand to contain and clean up messes no matter what they may be. Typically a mess is an accident and can happen at any time. Read more about: spill containment
