You can get a tack cloth at your local paint store, I also vacuum with my soft brush attachment then use tack cloth
Vacuum and use a tact cloth. You can get them where they sell paint.
Tack cloth or wipe down with a damp rag.
Normally a tack cloth is used. A damp cloth should work.
Hi Sarah! Vacuum the dust off first. Then, wipe them down with a damp cloth. After that dries, use a tack cloth (found in the paint section of the home improvement stores) to get the last bits of dust off. I hope that helps!
If you have a shop vac, vacuum with that. In addition, sometimes you can tape your sanding port to your shop vac hose to minimize dust. After this, follow Tricia's advice re: tack cloths.
Sarah...A damp cloth should do the trick.
Be sure to vacuum all air vents, ceiling fan grates, and heat or A/C registers afterwards. Then replace your vacuum cleaner bag.
I would dust them off with a vacuum and then I would use White Lightning to make sure it was totally clean.
Make sure all dust is gone from the surface of your wood project by giving it a thorough vacuum. Using an air compressor or shop vacuum is beneficial as these powerful devices may effectively remove little dust particles—as long as you utilize a high-grade filter.
