Do you use a loft hoover Buster, and a mask in the loft?

Best way mate loft clothing so important, and the mask to go with it.

When you say loft Clothing, should we be wearing something apart from normal gear.
What would be the best type of masks to get and be wearing for in the loft

By loft clothing I mean I use clothes only for the garden never in the house, i get out of them by the back door and wash then go shower, I do not want any dust, bloom etc coming indoors, as for masks I use

GVS Elipse SPR501 Medium / Large Half Mask Respirator P3 and

JSP Force 8 Mask Respirator with Press-to-Check Filters P3

I also have the Trend Stealth Medium / Large Half Mask P3R and which as yet i have not tried so cannot comment on it's performance

I also wear a hat and cow gown

Thanks for the info on this, I know its to protect you which is good, but do you always wear the same gear does this help with the birds to recognise you and feel at ease

I wear the same yes but it does get washed regularly, I think it does because when something wears out and I change it I do notice a difference with the birds being bit timid for a while
