Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hey Barb, If you have a vacume with a HEPA filter, which most of your decent ones now days come with. Absolutly vacume them. I get so much more up with my moms good vacume that a mop ever does. In fact after I mop and get spills etc. up I ten vacume and dont concider the floors clean until then. The filters wont allow anything back out into the air. (again if it is a decent vacume) Chris... From: barb1283 <barb1283@...> Subject: [] hardwood floors Date: Thursday, November 13, 2008, 3:34 PM Someone mentioned hardwood floors. That reminds me do you all think I should vacumm hardwood floors if I have dust mite allergy and cat allergies, (with cats in the house)? I have been dusting them and damp mopping them because I figure vacuum will just aerosolize 'small particles' as has been discussed here. Hardwood floors are not finished with polyurethane or similar coating so have the wood grain tiny cracks. I cannot coat them right now as they need to be sanded first and stained and all that. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 What's a commercial quality dust control system? My furnace has a MERV 16 filter on it, so I'd think that would be controlling dust. However there does still accumulate dust on things I have to get myself, but I've been avoiding the vacuum cleaner after reading things about the tiniest particles being the most dangerous. My vacuum isn't hepa but I buy hepa bags for it when I need it on rare occasion. I didn't buy a hepa vacuum because I figured I wanted to avoid vacuuming all together. Not sure if that will work out in the long run but that's what I'm hoping to do. All I have that can't be washed right now are drapery and two sofas right now and eventually they will go. --- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > It seems to me that a very good option for people like us is a central > vacuum unit that exhausts outside.. > (away from windows, hopefully!) or a commercial quality dust control > system...

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Putting a poly coating on it is good idea, even if I can't stain it. Perhaps I can find a low odor coating. Thanks > > Ya, that might work best. Like I said though, if you did have a good vacume you could use the skinny tool to vacume the cracks out. Another thing I did with wood floors was to mop on new polyurathane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
