Problems solved by technology

While performing chores or other activities, it is part of human nature that such activity can lead to disorder and mess of the environment around the activity, referred to as a work area.

This is an especially true for food and liquids which seem to be prone to accidental spills and disorder which require a subsequent cleanup.

Adequate protection is difficult because of the differing sizes of the work area.

If the protective sheeting does not cover the entire work area, the dirt may mar the exposed surface of the work area.

If the protective covering moves or slides then the work surface is exposed and the benefit of the protective cover is lost.
