Scientists have NOT proven whether this dust is or is not dangerous, but believe that caution should be used when cleaning your home/business to safely remove the dust.
Remember dust may be present on a surface even if you can not see it. While somewhat costly, homes or businesses with excessive dust should seriously consider hiring a professional cleaning service.
If you attempt to do your own cleaning, please follow the safety steps outlined below.
When cleaning, be sure to: 4 Wear a dust mask and gloves. Remember: Breathing in dust under normal conditions is not good for your lungs.

4“ Do not let children, the elderly or people with pre-existing health conditions (such as dust allergies, asthma or other respiratory illnesses) in your home/business while you are removing the dust.
