[Closed] Miele cat and dog - can't handle plaster dust

I've just had my new house rewired and as such there's plaster dust everywhere that needs hoovering up. My ever trusty Miele cat and dog clears about 4 sq metres but then gets blocked both in the bag and the head.

Can you hire mega hoovers for this kind of thing?

Miele just brilliant for its intended job; too many fine filters for stuff like plaster though. Henry +1

Its one way to ruin your expensive hoover

Use a brush and pan or get a propper workshop vac

Highely recomend the titan range from screwfix, cheap enough you dont care what you hoover up , good enough to actually hoover it, ruined 2 domestic vacs before i realised this was the way forward for diy 🙂

Another vote for a Henry. The amount of building/decorating mess ours has sucked up (including plenty of plaster dust) would have killed the missus light weight bag less Vax thing.

Plaster/wallboard dust can really mess up about any home vacuum
