Cleaning Up. . .Clean Up. . .Everybody Do Your Share. . . If you have mold that must be surface cleaned, you need a HEPA vacuum to help safely remove the unhealthy mold and dirt from the surface and prevent air-born particles. What is a HEPA vacuum exactly? A vacuum with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns diameter. In St. Louis NARA has a lot of documents contaminated with mold after the 1973 fire. HEPA is a necessity in our work, but suction level is also extremely important when working with fragile paper. In addition to variable speed Nilfisk vacuums, we also have Shuco vacuums in our Decontamination Lab. Designed by the medical industry, the Shuco has a lower suction and smaller hose than many HEPA vacuums are equipped. But even with the power assist of HEPA, work is most safely performed inside fumehoods when possible.
