Best Method for Removing Loose-Fill Insulation?

I’ve heard that using a shop dust collector or a leaf blower can be effective for removing old loose-fill attic insulation. I’m considering this method for a home renovation project. Has anyone tried these techniques, and if so, how effective were they?
On a related note, I’m also looking to enhance the decor in a new space by adding a balloon garland, similar to how I’ve decorated for houseofparty.com. Any tips on how to ensure the insulation removal doesn’t affect the installation of decorative elements like a balloon garland?

The best method for removing loose-fill insulation is to use a vacuum with a specialized insulation removal attachment. Start by sealing off the area to prevent dust spread, then carefully vacuum up the insulation. For large or stubborn areas, consider hiring a professional with industrial-grade equipment for a thorough and efficient removal.
Leaf blower?
You’ve got to be kidding?
Shop dust collectors and leaf blowers might be a temporary solution for small areas, but for complete removal, renting a specialized vacuum is best. Ensure a clean and dust-free environment before installing decorative elements like balloon garlands.
