| Jun 27, 2023 at 1:08 | comment | added | MarcoD | @RonJohn sorry for the late reply. Indeed, I live in an apartment and do not have a separate shop, but I thought a small shop vac was the best choice for when I need to clean up after sawing some wood or working with the drywall as in this case. I use this filter workshopvacs.emerson.com/en-us/filters-bags/ws13045f | |

| Feb 28, 2023 at 17:45 | comment | added | computercarguy | @RonJohn, yeah, that's a novel idea to me, too, but after doing a search for "shop vacuum hepa filter" I find it's moderately common to the point where some shop vacs come with a HEPA filter from the manufacturer. | |

| Feb 23, 2023 at 18:38 | comment | added | computercarguy | @Ruskes, I've read that too much bleach can send some molds into a hibernation state, instead of killing them. Hydrogen peroxide kills mold by destroying it at a molecular level, so H2O2 is a better choice than bleach, since you just need to keep using more of it until it stops fizzing. | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 16:39 | comment | added | Aloysius Defenestrate | Was the mold you recently vacuumed damp? If so, you can try to dry out the dust bag, but those are pretty cheap, so you might just toss it. The round filter isn’t cheap, so clean/dry it as normal. | |
| Feb 23, 2023 at 14:31 | comment | added | user3067860 | Do you regularly vacuum up wet/damp stuff or store it in a damp place or anything? If you can just keep the inside of the shop vac dry then mold isn't going to multiply anyway. | |

| Feb 23, 2023 at 8:12 | comment | added | MarcoD | I feel like this is one of the few cases in which keeping a known biological weapon is probably better than risking to transform it into a traditional explosive weapon lol | |

| Feb 23, 2023 at 3:27 | comment | added | Jasen | yeah, I would avoid flammable substances unless you have an explosion proof shop-vac. (if you do you probably know because they are more expensive and a specialty item) | |
