Old flooring can be easily removed to make way for new flooring. Follow the preparation steps to save on cleanup time.
Step 2: Take precautions to protect the area from dust. To prepare for dusty work, begin by covering air return ducts so dust does not get blown throughout the home. Remove closet bifold doors and cover the doorways with plastic sheeting. Place an exhaust fan in one exterior window to suck the dust out. You should also set up an area as close to the work site as possible to dispose of the old flooring. Consider placing a dumping location outside one of the room's windows. A debris container or a BagsterŪ disposal bag works well. Cover air return ducts.
Make sure that you and your home are protected against dust and fine particles. When working on a project that creates dust, always wear goggles, gloves and a dust mask. Seal off your work area and provide adequate ventilation.
