Cleaning / equipment guide
Wet & dry vacuum.
A little planning goes a long way.
A wet and dry vacuum can help with suitable project clean-ups. Ordinary vacuums are not a substitute for hazardous-dust extraction.
Before you hire
Potential fit: Non-hazardous clean-up within the machine’s stated wet and dry capabilities.
- Explain exactly what you need to collect and ask about filters and bags.
- Never use a general vacuum for asbestos, silica dust or other hazardous material.
- Confirm wet-mode setup and electrical precautions with the supplier.
Your hire checklist
- Suitable vacuum
- Correct filters and collection bags
- Hoses and attachments
- Safe power supply
A better supplier brief
Measure these first.
- Exactly what material needs collecting
- Wet or dry use and approximate volume
- Hose reach, stairs and power access
Hire, buy or get help?
Hire can suit a one-off non-hazardous clean-up within the machine’s limits.
Buying may suit repeated compatible clean-ups with ongoing filter and bag costs.
Use a specialist for hazardous or unidentified material.
Costs to ask about
This is a planning guide, not operating instructions. Follow the exact machine manual and supplier training. If you are unsure about the task, use a qualified professional.
