Rubber Mulch for Your Home’s Storage Areas
Rubber mulch is a durable, weatherproof material made from recycled rubber granules. Rubber mulch is easily available in any of the 50 states. Although usually used for flooring, rubber mulch can also be used to line storage units to protect equipment and the storage space itself.
Here are 3 tips on how rubber mulch can help you organize things in the tool shed and maintain your equipment.
1. Tool shed flooring
Replace your sawdust or wood mulch flooring with rubber mulch. Unlike wood mulch, rubber mulch does not rot when your roof leaks and the floor gets wet. Moreover, rubber mulch is non-toxic; even if your tool shed has minimal ventilation, there is no chance of inhaling toxic particles.
Rubber mulch flooring also protects you from impact-related injuries because it does a good job of breaking falls. This is especially helpful if your tool shed doubles as your work area. Rubber mulch also saves you a lot of money and trouble because you won’t have to replace the rubber pads on your equipment’s legs and bases every so often.
2. Line drawers
Rubber mulch doesn’t stop with your flooring. You can line the drawers and cabinets in your tool shed with rubber mulch as well. Rubber mulch comes in a variety of colors that can help you color code your storage units for better organization.
3. Line paint racks
You can also use rubber mulch to line paint racks and racks where you store various oil and lubricants. Another good thing about rubber mulch is that it is so easy to clean; you no longer have to worry about spillage. All you need is soapy water and a scrubber, and you’re good to go. You can also use paint thinners to clean up dried paint without ruining your rubber mulch flooring and linings.
