This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I’d suck them down with a vacuum cleaner! That’s gotta work right?
well, no, as it's sticky and will stick to the vacuum's pipe and innards and whatnot. same goes for wiping (sticks to the rag) etc.
You want it to stick to the rag. Theres these things called chem sponges used for this but they're not that cheap with how many you'll go through
Just gotta make sure it's a vacuum cleaner designed for fine particles like ash. A shopvac would do fine but I'd exercise caution using a household vacuum to do it
Make sure you check the manual! Mine explicitly required a special filter for that, with warnings that it could be damaged if you use it for ash/drywall without that filter
