Default Housecleaning for men - Air compressor!

Open a door and then a window. Then stick a box fan so it blows air
out the window. Then use the compressor / air blow tool to blow all
the dust off everything, then most of the dust goes out the window!

This works great for around a stereo / TV where it gets all that dust
back behind the components. Also cleans off the remote controls and
things like a phone.

(I just did some dry-walling and had dust everywhere and the
compressor in the living room... which gave me the idea.)


I actually did this for the basement of my now-rental house as I moved out. I
used a very powerful box fan exhausting in one window, with a distant window
open for air supply, and blasted EVERYTHING with a "sandblaster" (no sand)
nozzle on my 5HP compressor. That basement had never been so clean - floor,
walls, and ceiling joist space. Spider webs - gone.
