    clean?????


    When I have lost sight of the floor (for a number of months) and have nothing else to do, I run the dust collection vacuum over the floor.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    First broom and dust pan, then hit it hard with the Backyard Blower out through the roller door.

    Yes, like the option " I have an effective dust collection system where each tool is connected to a cyclone and have an additional three Sturdee mini cyclones permanently set up. "


    Meanwhile I voted for Cliff's option.

    I have very small shop so cleaning is an on going thing.

    First I sweep the big stuff, then vacuum the dust and small
    stuff.

    I never blow, it makes more mess than it fixes.

    My current project is a boat and it will take about a year so
    now and then I just stop and clean for a day or so.

    I got a broom, removed the handle and replaced it with a length of plastic conduit. On the end of the coduit I fix my flexible vac hose. Then it's just sweep up like normal but don't raise fine dust as the broom head sucks it up and it's the fine dust that casues problems.

    dust pan and broom for bigger stuff, then i use an old home vac attached to my triton dust bucket or the Midi Festool vac if in use at the time.
    the dust bucket is brilliant as it deposits all the dust into the bucket rather than the vac bag, you can vac all day at that rate. MY SHOP IS ALWAYS CLEAN NOW!!!! YESSSSS!
