Tough one: Short of having some one else clean: wet dust don't dry dust, use a hepa filter vacuum cleaner, wearing a mask can be helpful.

Respiratory protect: First, don't use noxious chemicals in closed spaces, second, wear an n95 mask or other adequate face mask to keep dust out of you airway, and third, don't wait so long to clean.
