The best way to clean up dust after sanding is byunker.

Clouds of fine dust are the result of sanding the drywall after taping and finishing.Allowing the dust to circulate throughout the house isn't an option because it creates a respiratory hazard.It becomes a goopy mess that settles into every crack and crevice in the room if you don't wet it down.Even though vacuuming is a good way to control it, the fine particles quickly ruin the vacuum filter.A combination of approaches is what removal calls for.

Make sure the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system is off by opening the windows and blocking the air vents with plastic sheeting.Put on a mask.

Dust can be swept into a pile on the floor with a broom.You won't be able to get all the dust this way, but you can deal with it later.The sweepings can be collected in a pail or garbage bag.Wait 15 minutes for the dust to settle.

Put a fan in the window.Dust will be directed to the fan as you sweep the room again.If you can open two or three windows, you will be able to clear the dust more efficiently.The open windows will create a cross-draft if you don't have many fans.

Wait another 15 minutes and vacuum the floor.Now that the dust is gone, you don't have to worry about the filter getting stuck.Dust can be removed from corners by using an upholstery attachment to get it out.

If you're vacuuming with a wet/dry vacuum, fill it with water.That way the dust won't go through the canister and into the air port.
