Portable Vacuums

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Speaking of dirt introduced into the surrounding environment while cleaning a piano in someone's home, I tell people that after all the vacuuming (i. e., "sucking") possible, in order to really get the dirt out of the piano, it needs to be blown out with decisive force, which will invariably?transfer said dirt to?the area around the piano.? I used to lug around a small compressor for this job (while running the vacuum to suck up whatever portion of the airborne dirt possible while blowing), but more recently have been trying a leaf blower for this part of the operation.? Anyone else do this?

??? In the home, for cleaning out pianos, I'd rather use one that has a water filter, so you're not adding to the indoor pollution, but I understand they're quite expensive and not in most vacuum cleaner stores.?

Hello All: I used to have a small portable vacuum cleaner, which could both vacuum and operate as a blower. I have not been able to find one since the old one broke, and the catalogs no longer carry them. Anyone know of a company that carries something like this?

Thanks,
