Remove as much as you can immediately and dilute with water, experts say. Then follow these tips.

Wet-dry vacuum cleaners are best suited to garages and unfinished basements since they tend to spew fine dust out with the exhaust air if you don’t install an optional filter. They can come in handy for limited jobs in the home, such as clearing out a clogged sink, sucking up pet accidents, etc.
Carpet
Vacuum often to maintain appearance and long life.
