Need to clean garage ready for painting

evoke

I've had a new ceiling put into my garage and the work was very messy. I've removed all the mess as best as I can so far. I want to paint the ceiling and walls with emulsion in the next couple of weeks and want to make them as dust-free as possible.

What's a good way to prepare the ceiling and walls for painting (walls are painted brick, ceiling is bare plaster).

My idea was to use a broom/brush to get rid of most of the dust off the walls and then use a mop to pick up any dust remaining on the walls.

I can't wash the walls down with a hosepipe because of power sockets and a boiler on the wall.

just use a stiff broom/brush

I used a Henry Hoover with a brush attachment to hoover the dust off when my walls were done.
