CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 143

A user spills a small amount of toner from a laser printer onto the floor. Which of the following is the safest way to clean up the toner?

Answer options

• A. Use a wet/dry vacuum
• B. Use a broom and dust pan
• C. Use damp paper towels
• D. Spray the toner with canned air

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a wet/dry vacuum is the safest option as it effectively captures toner particles without dispersing them into the air. A broom and dustpan may cause the toner to become airborne, while damp paper towels can smear the toner and also create dust. Spraying the toner with canned air would only exacerbate the mess by blowing toner further around the area.
