ive hheard that one of those painter tyvec suit from lowe's  and yellow rubber  gloves for cleaning would work-- anyone have  deep thoughts on this

I have 2 pull-overs from better bee and really like them, I just wear blue jeans with mine and the ventilated gloves.....

When I use gloves I use the same as those of TwT.  Usually I let the visitors use them.  I have a tulle veil and 2 sets of gloves in L & M for visitors.   I prefer the exclesior, or round, veil instead of the square one.  I dislike blind spots that the seamed veils have.  For the rest of it I just use pants and rubber bands to keep out the leg crawlers.

tyvec suits are really hot.  there is absolutely NO ventilation.  you won't like them.
