Dust after grinding!

[Wesiiide]

Hey guys, new member here, and was hoping to get some opinions as I have just started an epoxy project. I rented a diamond grinder over the weekend and did my floor, and everything went great. Only problem is there's dust everywhere! I have vacuumed, swept, blew it with a leaf blower, and mopped the whole floor with isopropyl alcohol as I wanted to get as little moisture on it as possible. I got the vast majority out and it looks good and clean, but when I rub my fingers on the surface, there's still a slight residue that comes up on my fingers.

Is it alright to leave a tiny bit on there, or will the epoxy bond to the dust? I read a bunch of threads that say to avoid power washing, as it will take a long time to dry, so I was hoping to avoid that. Any help would be appreciated guys! Thanks!!!

The dust will take some time to finally "land". I've used a fine spritzer with denatured alcohol to fill the air space to "help" pull the dust to the floor. I would do another denatured alcohol wipe with micro fiber mop heads. It takes a few heads to do this correctly as they fill quickly. Keep all moving air to a minimum. Dead air will not kick up the dust. Don't even consider the power wash route. If your vacuum is kicking fine dust back into the air that may be a losing battle also.

Alright, I will give the denatured alcohol spritzer thing a try, and give another mop with it as well. Thanks a ton!
