| The sheetrock contractor has just left and said he cleaned up. But, there is a layer of dust everywhere. This is a new home construction. The dust is heavy and resists sweeping and vacuuming. What do I use? |

| I have had success with wet rags. Some areas need to get hit twice before all the fine powder is gone. It is very tedious but it works. Matt |

| Lots and lots of clean wet rags as batguys suggested. It's a major pain and it'll take several passes to get all the dust cleaned up. |

| You say this is new construction. Are you responsible for cleaning during this build? If so, I would focus my attention on the walls before the painters come in using DAMP rags. Not wet, damp, the walls haven't been primed yet. |

| I second what has already been said. Vacuum what you can, then use a damp rag to wipe up the rest. |
