Is Dustless Floor Sanding Really Dust-Free?
3 min read
Dustless sanding captures the vast majority of airborne dust — typically 95%+ — by connecting sanders directly to a sealed containment vacuum system. It isn't literally zero dust, but it eliminates the thick haze that traditional sanding leaves on every surface in your home.
Why it matters
Beyond cleanliness, it protects your air quality and belongings — a real benefit for anyone with allergies, asthma, or young children. There's no fine grit settling into cabinets, closets, and vents for weeks afterward.
Clients are consistently amazed there isn't a speck of dust when we finish. It also means you can move back into your space faster.
