Found an old kitchen behind the wall!
We are renovating the bedroom and tore down a wardrobe that spanned the entire room. It was 4 meters with sliding doors. In the wardrobe, gypsum boards were installed as a wall in the back part. When we tore these down, we found an additional 4 x 1 sqm space and a whole kitchen squeezed in. Everything except the appliances was there: kitchen cabinets, parts of the floor, moldings, door frame, wall, bricks, insulation, chicken wire, etc. Just a bunch of debris!! After carrying out everything we could, we found a lot of stone debris/shavings/concrete powder (don't know what it's called). But does anyone know how to get rid of that?? It creates a terrible amount of dust and is hard to clean up.?

Shovel the bynket (or böset or whatever it's called in your dialect) into bags! It might be good to use a face mask against the dust.

Yes, there are no shortcuts, put on the half-mask and start shoveling, preferably in extra durable garbage bags. I would have the window open to throw the bags out of and keep the rest of the house closed in the meantime.

If you can properly close off the space, I would recommend renting an Air Purifier.

It might be borderline too costly for the small area (400-600kr/day where I live) but it drastically reduces the amount of dust in the air when running.

Fantastic fun to find 4 square meters more 
Be careful with all that powder and stuff from old times, not sure if there's asbestos in that?T TiP said:We are renovating the bedroom and then tore down a wardrobe that ran along the entire room.
