My kitchen is going through a renovation and they are tearing down the
walls and ceiling.
There is a fine dust residue all over the floor and stuff in the
basement below.
Whats the best way to vaccuum up the floor and other small items.
My regular vaccuum cant handle the fine dust.
Thanks,
Bruce

Best was to cover everything with cheap plastic drops, if floor is not
carpet wash it, if it is get a new vac.

If the floor is not carpeted, damp-mop it. Likewise dust the objects
with a damp rag. Rinse the mop and rag frequently.
Yes, it'll be a lot of work.
If the floor is carpeted, try to get a hold of a shop vac.

Don't use any conventional vac to suck up drywall dust. It will damage the
motor (and most likely blow right back out the exhaust port).
With SOME vacs, you can BUY a special VAC FILTER/BAG MADE SPECIFICALLY
FOR DRYWALL DUST.
If the floor is not carpeted, damp-mop it. Likewise dust the objects
with a damp rag. Rinse the mop and rag frequently...Yep, thats it
>>If the floor is carpeted, try to get a hold of a shop vac.
Not unless the Shop Vac has a DRYWALL filter in it. The "Shop vac DRYWALL"
filter bags are YELLOW vs the Normal white.

If the floor is tile, vinyl, hardwood that can be swept, use "sweeping
compound" - the oily sawdusty type if you cn find some. Used to be
common but I needed some for an oil spill last summer and I couldn't
find any in this town.
