4 tips to make sanding drywall easier to clean up

Sanding drywall can create a lot of dust and debris, making it a messy job. Here are four tips to make sanding drywall easier to clean up:

1. Use a dustless drywall sander: A dustless drywall sander is a power tool that attaches to a vacuum cleaner and sucks up dust as you sand. This tool greatly reduces the amount of dust and debris created, making cleanup much easier.
   
2. Cover nearby surfaces: Cover nearby surfaces with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to catch any dust that does escape. This will make cleanup quicker and easier.
   
3. Wear protective gear: Wear a dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves to protect yourself from the dust created by sanding. This will also help prevent the dust from settling on your clothing and skin.
   
4. Use a shop vacuum: After sanding is complete, use a shop vacuum to remove any remaining dust and debris from the work area. Be sure to vacuum all surfaces, including walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as any tools and equipment used.
