What is the appropriate cleanup method for low risk situations?

In low risk situations, the appropriate cleanup method is wet cleaning. This method involves using water and detergent to remove lead dust and debris from surfaces effectively. Wet cleaning helps to minimize the spread of lead particles by binding them, preventing them from becoming airborne and inhaled.

Wet cleaning is particularly suitable for areas that experience lower lead exposure risks since it helps to safely and effectively manage lead hazards without the potential disturbance that might occur with other methods. This approach also reduces the likelihood of lead contamination being reintroduced into the environment during the cleanup process.

While other methods have merit in different contexts, they may not provide the same level of safety and thoroughness in low risk scenarios. For example, vacuuming is effective but can potentially aerosolize lead dust if the vacuum cleaner is not equipped with a HEPA filter, which is not specified in the context of 'vacuum only.' Similarly, dry cleaning methods may not adequately remove lead residues compared to wet cleaning, which is designed to dissolve and remove contaminants.
