Tidying up mess from a rewire in empty house...plaster dust and bits of rubble from chasing out .....
After struggling with dust blocking vacuum even after a brush up have now resorted to a going over with brush and dustpan ...then using a vacuum attached to a water filled 'dust trap' (I made from an aldi ash vac attachment) , then with my cheapo old vac...
The bare boards have wide spaces - so these are full of dust etc and so the brushing is not working very well (end up with hand held brush), dust trap is getting clogged every few minutes and I have to go along the board gaps with that too and even then my cheapo vac is clogging...
Also loads of similar cr*p under boards (I know it is fussy but I would rather get rid of that too)
Have managed to just about tame downstairs and now have started on upstairs - today has taken me a few hours to do the stairs and makes some progress in one room ...just feel like if I had the proper tool I could get the rest done in a day ...this is dragging on and on ...
Just wondering if I should hire an industrial vac? Will that cope with the fine dust better -or do they struggle too? It is the constant clogging that is driving me insane ...
Any advice?
