I have a Rigid hand carried, portable, wet dry vac, plastic canister with a lid and contained therein are all the rest of the parts needed to make it work. One is a large paper, removable filter. I never used it in the "wet" mode.
What is the procedure and what do you expect when using wet? I assume the filter comes out so you have no filtration, just the ability to suck up water which hits the walls of the bottom half and gravity keeps most of it there......... Do you get a water/humid type mist out the exhaust? If in a confined area (a cellar) that probably isn't good for your lungs with mold present. Then thinking about scheduling, you come in with the diluted Clorox spray and let it do it's job all the while the water, half an inch probably across the entire floor, just sits there soaking into things and hopefully not making more mold.
Don't think coming in initially and attempting to get the water out then go after the mold. An option would be spray one day and come back the next day with the vac and I have an old household vac. that I could drop the hose down a vent pipe and with the doors open, it could suck out some of the Chlorine fumes, and a mop and bucket.....geez...it's 4 AM and this doesn't sound like an avenue to the rest of a good night's sleep. Course we as farmers have had much more with which to deal over our careers.....yeah, but I'm a big Eight Zero is my next BD and I don't cope with surprises like I once did. Getting to be real "chicken hearted". One reason I sold off my cows.....getting in a pen with a couple thousand pound "snorter" didn't sound like the thing I ought to be doing any longer to name one.
Maybe I'll just crank up the coffee pot and check out the folks over at Yesterday's Tractors and see what's going on. Wink!
Later,
