Dust Sheets

[jaydebruyne]

Probably a really stupid question, but does anyone have any recommendations on dust sheets? Brands etc.
I'd like to get a couple of decent dust sheets rather than buy cheap crap I have to replace every month.

Cheers all
Jay

I've just bought dicky dyer floor covers, (honest they're called that). They're like a plastic on one side and absorbant on the other. They do a rad sheet with pipe cout out/ slits, and a hall oblong runner. I use plastic film for the stairs, everywhere else where there's not much foot fall ordinary sheets/curtains/duvet covers.

What else would they be called? Dickie Dyer (yes, there actually is such a person) has been calling on us since WAY before my time. I have a feeling he may just have retired.

A mere spring chicken though, compared to the legendary Les Jackman, who called on us well into his nineties, after 70+ years in the trade.

They don't make 'em like that any more.

I had a dickie dyer maintenance mat years ago was working in a care home and an old girl hoicked up her gown and proceeded to urinate all over it. Have to say I was impressed not one bit made it through... Swiftly folded the Matt and binned it there and then

I only use old curtains and quilt covers. The advantage is they are easily washable and last forever. I've been tempted to try putting a sheet through a wash with nik-wax or similar to make them waterproof, not sure how effective it will be.

I've got a couple of the blue ones toolstation sell called "onetuff" dustsheet. Very good dust sheets that are waterproof and not dangerously slippy on stairs like the poly backed cotton twill ones. Also they don't hold half a tonne of dust in them like cotton ones.

My mate still reckons they look like I've nicked them out of a hospital though.
