What happens here
With all the protective gear in place, begin the dry mopping of the walls. Using the dry floor mop, systematically move it up and down the wall surfaces. The objective is to gently but firmly dislodge and collect as much of the loose drywall dust as possible. Ensure to cover the entire surface of each wall, working from top to bottom, or in a consistent pattern to avoid missing spots. The presenter emphasizes that this is a dry process, and no water should be used at this stage.
Goal: Physically dislodge and remove the majority of loose drywall dust from wall surfaces.
