This is to maximise dust capture during the wet wiping process. Vacuuming Ordinary vacuum cleaners cannot filter all fine lead particles . Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter or a ducted vacuum system to prevent the redistribution of dust particles in the home, if possible. If neither of these options are available, try to vacuum when young children are not present and allow time for dust to settle before they are allowed into the room. It is best to vacuum once a week rather than every day, because of the dust disturbance.
Carpets Moving old carpet can release lead dust trapped in the pile and underlay.
Lightly spray the surface of the carpet with water to keep the dust down. Roll the carpet inwards. Wrap the rolled carpet in plastic sheeting and tape it up. Clean up carefully. Pets Animal coats can harbour considerable amounts of dust, so brush and keep pets outside and ensure children wash their hands after patting them.
