Keep your premises clean, dry and safe with the Osmo Thirsty Sock – 1.2m water absorbing barrier, designed to soak up water from leaking freezers, HVAC units, cleaning trolleys and everyday spills.
Unlike flood barriers, this compact sock is purpose-built for smaller leaks and maintenance issues – the kind of nuisance water that creates slip hazards, damages stock or leads to insurance claims. Each sock absorbs up to 3 litres of water, wrapping neatly around machines, doorways or shelving to contain drips before they spread.
Popular with supermarkets, FM teams, retailers and warehouse operators, the Thirsty Sock is flat, flexible and ready to deploy in seconds. No need for mopping, paper towels or warning signs – just place the sock and let it get to work.
Made with at least 50% recycled materials and fully non-toxic, it's suitable for use in public areas, staff kitchens, storage spaces and more. Use as a first-response tool or as a preventative measure in known problem spots.
