Using a household hair dryer to remove dust from aerated concrete

After the strobe is made (I make it with a milling cutter, I wrote about this here), it is necessary to remove all dust and aerated concrete chips. But it is impossible to completely sweep out the dust with a brush from a rectangular section. And the mineral glue will not reliably stick to the dust, there will be no adhesion. I decided that blowing out the dust was the best way. To do this, I purchased an inexpensive household hair dryer:

Hair dryer Dexp HD-2000S black, 2000W. Price: Price 699 rubles. in DNS. The cost is not great, but the power allows you to quickly remove all the dust.

Result. I clean the entire perimeter of the walls in about 10 minutes. With a brush, I would do it for at least 30-40 minutes.

But when aerated concrete is wet after rain, it is more difficult to blow off wet dust and crumbs. We have to sweep away excess crumbs and help the hair dryer with a wooden bar in the strobes:

I came up with this method myself. I have not met anywhere. Although, I do not exclude that someone also removes dust from aerated concrete and grooves in it.

I also remove all dust after grinding with a float of each row with a hairdryer. I wrote about sandpaper graters here

The process looks almost curious, but the main thing is the result. And I'm happy with it, especially with a decent economy of time and physical strength. Perhaps this method will also be useful to someone in the carpentry workshop to blow sawdust and wood dust during the cleaning process.
