I've never used a floor dressing before, but due to this persistent wet weather the floor is not as dry as I like it. Having a very open loft the birds look great but I'm not happy with the floor. Anybody used a floor dressing and what was the results?

Floor whites are probably OK for the birds but would question whether they are any good for you king.
For me, I find them quite dusty in the loft - you have to brush them well in which causes dust anyway.
I have a bucket of solasan which has a pleasant smell to it, but only use it if I spill anything as the dust gets on my chest.

we used Limestone (Dollar) dust for years, about £3 to £4 for a 20 kg bag extremely absorbent important to keep bone dry whilst storing

I’ve take to buying a large roll of corrugated cardboard from Amazon, just roll it up once a week or so and put a fresh piece down. No mess no dust, and if you’ve only a small loft one roll would probably last all winter.
