Work Area C'.ean jLr <br /> A careful, comt)lete cleaning of the work area is necessary to prevent suture lead <br /> exposure for the occupants, especially ,young children. Lead dust that remains can <br /> easilv find its way into a child's mouth. <br /> The principle of abatement clean-uo is to control the dust by keeping it dame and <br /> preventing it from getting dispersed into the air and environment. Only a LEPA <br /> vacuum (special vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter) or a "wet" vacuum should be <br /> used to clean-up lead dust. Do not sweep with a broom or use a standard vacuum to <br /> clean up lead dust. Standard vacuum cleaners cannot trap fine lead particles. <br /> The work area should be cleaned before and after repainting. In addition, residents <br /> should clean with a mild solution of trisodium phosphate ("TSP) weekly to keev dust <br /> levels down. <br /> Clean-up Materials <br /> • Plastic work gloves <br /> • Svrav bottle with water <br /> • Heavy duty plastic bags <br /> • Single six mil bags or double four -til bags <br /> • Cleaning solution containing TSP. (At least one ounce of five percent TSP to <br /> each gallon of water used. Prepare with hot water.) <br /> • Buckets <br /> • HEPA vacuum cleaner <br /> • Disposable :int-free towels, rags, sponges, and mops <br /> Crean-uD ,'.te:!:od <br /> Wet down all dust and debris that is contained within plastic sheeting with 3 <br /> Hist of water from the spray bottle. iais will 'help cont:oL the dust d.:::n; : e <br /> clean-up- <br /> ?.
