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.

fight!

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.

One option is to rent a wet/dry vacuum cleaner at the nearest rental place (cramo or ramirent etc.)
Costs five hundred for a day.

Make sure there are no remaining water pipes, it's not fun to have such things built-in.

Be careful with all that powder and stuff from old times, not sure if there's asbestos in that?

Ikea's large blue bags are very practical for carrying out demolition debris.

It looks like you've found the kattvind. There should be one along the entire side and also on the opposite side of the house.
