A few other ideas:
- mist the floor with water to keep the dust down.
- use silicone/wax remover to get things CLEAN.
- put a cheap box fan in the window/door orifice to
exhaust the fumes (tape a furnace filter on it)
- a tyvek 'bunny suit' (the clean room type works
well if you can swipe/h/h/h borrow one.)
- a disposable painter's sock.
- lock the garage door/disconnect the opener.
- ship the dog/CAT/kids/SO somewhere else :-)
