A wet/dry vacuum, also known as a shop vac, is a versatile cleaning tool designed to handle both liquid and solid debris. Unlike standard vacuums, which are typically limited to dry materials, wet/dry vacuums can efficiently suck up spills, mud, and other wet messes, making them ideal for garages, workshops, and basements. These vacuums come with various attachments and filters to accommodate different cleaning tasks. They usually feature a large tank to hold the collected materials and are often equipped with powerful motors for effective suction. Wet/dry vacuums are popular among both homeowners and professionals for their practicality and efficiency.
