Commercially available spill-control products are stocked by major scientific supply vendors and by safety product supply companies. Assortments of different sizes of the spill-control pillows, together with a selection of related products, should be kept in locations convenient to the laboratories and should be replaced when used.

Thus a small investment may prove to be a wise step.
