My house has been contaminated with fiberglass due to the rupture of a fiberglass containing mattress. I have closed off the room that the rupture occurred within, and have discarded the mattress.
Problem is, my house is coated in a layer of fiberglass fibers that range from microscopic to large enough to visibly see with my eyes. My air conditioning is currently using a HEPA filter and I have a bit of money to throw around. I do not want fibrosis of the lungs later in life and would prefer to properly decontaminate my living space.
Ideas?

I've been breathing in fiberglass for 5 years now. Your wussy little 20 minute cleaning job is nothing.
Buy a mask at home depot and clean the fucking room. It's not complicated, and certainly doesn't warrant a thread on /diy/. What I'd like to know is where you got a fucking matress full of fiberglass from.

I don't want fucking fibrosis when I turn 65, you not using a mask for five years of fiberglass exposure makes you an idiot.

fibreglass isnt asbestos. fibreglass is only an issue if you work with it constantly. the reason being that your body cant encyst or eject certain kinds of asbestos fibres. the reason asbestos fucks you up is because it just saws away at your lungs forever and your body can never deal with it.
If you have a nice filter in your system run the fan for a few days! On your thermostat if you have a wire in the G terminal it will do that. If not you can just put in a jumper wire between r and g.

Stop being paranoid about your health and vacuum it up. I lived around exposed fiberglass for my entire childhood and I have excellent lung capacity.

Drink water and eat a slice of bread.
Air out the house while your heat/AC is on fullblast for 30 mins.
Turn off the heat/AC.
Sweep then dust everything.
Close house.
Launder all items that can be laundered.
Take a shower.
Use duct tape or clear packing tape on your skin where ever you feel the itching. Just pat it against the skin a few times.
>fiberglass in mattress
That's terrible. Use duct tape or clear packing tape to close the rip.

Burn down house and salt the ground.
or
Pay someone.
Or
Get tyvek suit with hood, use mask and goggles.
Get large ventilation fan, put in window, exhaust. Let in air from a door.
Get leaf vac that has hose, route hose out window. Go around sucking up air near shit that has it. the air going into vac will stir it up, then hopefully suck through leaf vac to be expelled outside. Then use regular house vac to suck up more shit.
Go dump vac, clean out filter etc.
Let room continue to exhaust via fan to hopefully get anything remaining in air out of room.
If air into room would bring in more fiberglass from other rooms, get fresh air into room through ventilation blower with flex duct pulling air in from outside away from house.
Repeat for each room.
Then spray water mist or house cleaner on things and dust them.
Throw away fabric like blankets or chair covers.
Keep humidity high and run room air filters for a while to get remaining parts out.
But if you have the money, call someone to do it. Cover up your expensive tech shit, seal up closets with tape, and throw away fabric, get shit like couches outside to shampoo or steam clean. Then let guys blast your house clean.
Or just move.
