1. First, you want to seal the air-duct registers in the areas that is being used during these activates. This will generate a lot of dust, such as in the demolition stage.
2. Then cover the work area with protective sheeting and use barriers to keep the dust contained to the rooms that is undergoing remodeling.
3. Then continue to ventilate a space after paint or finishes have been applied, flooring finished or carpeting installed, or any other activity that produces airborne pollutants.
4. Then, you must provide exhaust ventilation. Like a fan blowing out of a window that is going to be away from the work area. This will help prevent particles from spreading to other parts of the home.
5. Clean up the work site each day to minimize dust tracking.
