If you wish to perform the removal of your garage containing asbestos material, then there are some rules that you should follow.

  • Moisten the area first of all. Do not soak completely or it will be difficult to clean up.

  • Use a plant sprayer to make the area damp. This will protect the dust from rising.

  • Without breaking, remove the asbestos from places where it is present. If you remove without breaking then it will ensure less exposure to dust.

  • After removing asbestos, wrap the material in polythene bags and seal them up with tape. This will prevent asbestos from escaping and causing harm to other people.

  • Don’t leave any waste lying around where it will affect other people. Clean the garage as finely as possible. Don’t leave any debris. Clean all the objects with a moistened cloth and dispose of the cloth along with other disposed of material.

  • After you are through with the asbestos removal from your garage, wash your hands and face.
