How do I get drywall dust out of my house. (i.e. carpets, surfaces, etc.)?



Answers:
Most advanced VAC technology to date will be your best option. HEPA filters. Certainly you may need a supply of them? Then bag them in trash bags and dispose.

Damp wiping helps on solids, and again, dispose, don't rinse in your sink.

I'll assume it's too late to suggest ways to collect the DUST from the process of sanding? No matter, most of the smallest particles would have been in the air anyway. You'll also have to check and likely change AC filters, perhaps more than once,,, and in that regard spend some extra money on any,,, other than the blue spun fiberglass type.

Shop vacs, and reg vacs, have discharge, in order to function, and filtration in a tank/upright is often no more than a paper bag. Shop vacs have an even greater rate of discharge but some have actual filters, as opposed to the foam sleeve that slides over the motor area. Again, collect and dispose
