Am I the only one who sticks with dust masks on regular cleans?
Respirators feel like overkill to me, but safety crews say they're a must. Let's debate!

I saw that line about safety crews insisting on respirators. Read a thing from a health site saying dust masks often let in fine particles during heavy cleaning. Like when you're dealing with mold or sweeping up construction debris, those tiny bits can get past a basic mask. A respirator seals better and filters out more harmful stuff. For light dusting, a dust mask is probably fine, but for bigger jobs, upgrading makes sense. It's about matching the gear to the real risk.

Totally agree about matching the gear.

Used dust masks for years but switched to a respirator when dealing with mold. @dylan_foster is onto something with matching gear to the job.
