best kind of mask to clean guns

[Steve2020]

I recently have been considering getting a few masks on hand while cleaning guns etc...
I was wondering for those who wear masks while cleaning guns which is the best kind?

I appreciate your suggestions

Most of the masks I’ve seen should work. Just rub gently to start but I can’t imagine any mask being abrasive enough to hurt the finish of a gun.

Well....some masks do have a little metal piece that you form to your nose. Might remove that part. Use it for heavy removal of debris.

Since my doc insist I wear something, I use one similar to these.

A mask won’t work, you need a respiratory

Yep. Here's a good deal on one that should be more than sufficient, and won't break the bank:
