SWMBO prefers that I strip down to my skivvies in the back yard before entering the house.

Wife does not comment as I normally wear my work clothes and often boots inside the house.
However - after a day playing trains - my overalls are filthy with coal dust, oil and grease not to mention the boots which have a layer of oil as well as dust and ash. The boots live in a box and are only used on the railway and the overalls are taken off before I come home.

Skew and I are lucky in that we're both into woodwork so sawdust is an accepted daily thing. Also, my father did a fair bit of lumberjack work when I was young for extra family income, so I've lived with wood chips, chainsaw oil/petrol, and the smell of fresh cut pine my whole life.
We have 'shed clothes' and regular every day clothes. The shed clothes have holes or stains on them already so it doesn't matter if finish or turps gets splashed on them. Our shed is under the house, so we have to go out onto the back deck and down the back stairs to get there. On the way back up we dust/beat/stamp ourselves as best we can before we come inside and either toss the dusty clothes into the hamper, or hang them to use another day.
I'm used to turning out pockets/cuffs/collars into the bathtub before putting anything into the laundry, but we don't have pets or metal shavings. Maybe if there was more oil/grease or metal shavings things would be different. But as is, I love the smell of wood shavings
Maybe we need to look into Roomba/Scooba/DirtDog for our Sig-Others?

I live in a beautiful part of Sydney. At the back of the house up the hill about 300m away there is a crematorium. Does it explain why my house is dusty all the time?

Both me and hubby play in the shed, he is an engineer and I'm the turner so it's a compressor dust off before entering the house and the house gets cleaned once a week. NOW mess in the shed is another thing ?? I. Get no end of grief 0

Shoe mat by the back door - tell visitors it's there for when they leave.
(Good job SWMBO doesn't read this forum )What you say & what people hear are not always the same thing.

Having in the past been covered in diff, gearbox, engine oil, diesel, grease, welding fumes, grinding dust & fumes (grinding a full bus or coach frame), paint fumes, Black Jack (a type of pitch) sawdust is a relief of sorts.
Overalls always left at work till they would walk out on their own to be washed and into the car. One place we all chipped in to keep a washing machine on site to wash overalls all wives gave full support on that.
No good stripping down to undies here although It would be possible without scarying the neighbours if I used the garage and internal access door.
I use the dusty to vacume or air compressor to blow off majority of dust as I had done years ago when sanding buses and coaches prior painting other wise just a dust off by hand. having tiles in major living areas is a blessing.
