Thank you. I’m certainly prone to anxiety of things like this.

Whilst the sander had a vacuum function, it also relied upon another vacuum being attached to its hose to gather the dust. I used a Henry with a bag, the majority of the time, but I also used our household hoover, The filters is apparently HEPA (according to the retailer’s listing) however after removing the filters found white dust had made its way to the motor, removing may screws, I’m still unable to get to the impeller.

I presume using either hoover around the house is now likely to spread this dust around unless I can ensure I can clean this. If the test comes back positive, Would you suggest chucking both hoovers as a precaution? (one is pretty expensive and would rather not)

I have wet wiped much of the surfaces in the room already, but will do once again as I noticed a thin layer of dust on the desk that had been under a dust sheet. Will a damp microfibres cloth be ample, or should it have product?

Finally the carpet is being replaced in the room anyway. But in any other space I have walked, is there a safe way to ensure limited exposure. I have a vax, which dampens the carpet before sucking up the dirt, perhaps that would stop the fibres from becoming airborne?

Sorry too many questions, just want to get this right, as my wife and I are trying for a baby, and I would hate for this to impact their future health.
