How to Quickly Remove Dangerous Dust

Making concrete from concrete mix can be a messy process that leaves everyone involved covered in dust. Here’s a tip: when pouring concrete mix into a bucket for mixing, hold an active vacuum hose close to the top of the bucket.

This sort of “preventative vacuuming” will save you time on cleanup and also save your lungs from any nasty, unwanted substances. — Ricky Jerrett
