[quote=Anonymous]Yikes. This is the kind of thing that requires a plan and equipment before your start getting dust everywhere. You can work to contain the dust before it spreads, but once it's everywhere, you're kind of screwed in getting it all gone or eliminating the possibility of breathing it in. Miele makes a vacuum that has a filter designed to safely suck up lead dust. It's about $1K. We use it regularly as the main vacuum in our old home, which was known lead paint on the window frames. That said, we don't disturb dust with construction, this is just for the minuscule amounts that might enter the atmosphere by opening a window or something like that. Wet mopping is best for hard surfaces. If it's in the fabrics, you should probably just toss them. Especially if you have little kids. You should take your children for a blood lead test in 6 months to see if their levels are elevated. [/quote]
