My kitchen is going through a renovation and they are tearing down the

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.


I bought a shop vac from Sears and put in one of their HEPA filters.
Works great. *It even works with soot and ash.


Been using Sears shop vacs for decades. IMO they have the best value
for the $$ out there. Drywall dust not a problem, vacuum it up and
clean the filter with your compressed air spritzer when it gets nasty.
They can be reused for many months in commercial service that way.
