Drywall prep for paint
What happens here
After sanding, the walls will be covered in fine drywall dust. It is critical to remove all this dust before priming or painting, as paint and primer will not adhere properly to dusty surfaces. First, use a shop vacuum with a brush or crevice attachment to thoroughly vacuum all wall surfaces, from top to bottom, including corners and edges. Once vacuumed, fill a bucket with clean water, lightly dampen a drywall sanding sponge, and wipe down all the walls. This step ensures that any remaining dust particles are removed, leaving a clean surface for optimal paint adhesion.
Goal: Remove all dust and debris from the walls
