Shop cleaning
« on: July 03, 2011, 02:54:02 PM »
Got the 2 El Caminos gone, now to clean the shop so I can get started working on the rat...anybody got any sugestions on getting two cars worth of sanding dust off the floors without choking to death.... :-\

I use the house vacuum. Just buy a couple extra bags from the store, vacuum up the mess, change the bags, wipe down the vacuum and put it back in the house.

No problem. Like i say, that's what i do. Just be sure to put a fresh bag in it when you are done, so she doesn't fire it up and get sanding dust in the house. Doesn't go over very well...........hehehehe

Only reason i used the house vacuum when i need to clean up is the fact i still have other car's in the shop. If i fire up the air compressor, the dust would get into every crack on my other vehicles.....the house vacuum works great, just put it on the highest setting and go......no fuss no muss.
