Default Asbestos vacuum cleaning

If you mean "clean up the white dust that you created when you tore out
the asbestos", then no, no, and uhmmmmm, no. For one reason, the air
you take in has to go somewhere, so it blasts out the machine. You
don't want your exhaust putting asbestos into the air. Airborne
asbestos is what's really bad. If you suspect that you have asbestos
that you are cleaning up, get a mask, get a very wet mop, and get the
problem fixed.



Okay, I've wet mopped the walls, floors. Washed and dry cleaned
clothes. But what about TV, laptop computer, and kitchen appliances? Is
it enough to just clean them with a wet rag? I must say that I didn't
have any asbestos in the home, where I probably carried asbestos
fibers home with my work clothes . (I've removed asbestos roof tiles
couple of days).
