Dusty house

Assuming no chimneys or other ancient construction, and no animals or caged birds, then the only solution is remove all the people and cover everything up with dustsheets.

Otherwise, always choose the silver option for TV and HiFi etc, and never, ever black or other dark colour.

You need to pass it through a HEPA scale filter. One way is to buy a proper vacuum like a Henry. And put in a HEPA class filter.

Another way is a machine that will circulate the air through a filter. I have a le Voit*. Its amusing to hear it start up and run in the bedroom if I fry chips in the kitchen...removes smells effectively, not bad on dust either.

I got it because I noticed my shot lungs did better in a car with aircon and a pollen filter.

It doesn't get all the dust - some lands on the surfaces - but it gets a lot. What does land gets Henry'ed.

Also consider when manually dusting using one of those micofibre dusters that catch the dust in the fibres rather than just flicking it off into the air for it to settle again.

they say it is mostly dead skin

who is foola ? ...... is he from wagga ? ......

Although it's difficult to tell by how much, my Sebo's filter/bags seem to do a pretty good job.

Yes, a dampened microfbre cloth, rinsed regularly. Although I'd guess the bulk of the dust is resting on the floor.

Mostly from fluffy paper bog rolls. Switch to the old Izal type rolls and your dusting duties will be cut by a factor of 100 :)

I also have one of those paper roll dispensers in the kitchen. The type where you buy a large blue or white bulk roll of paper, remove the centre cardboard tube and use from the centre outwards. When changing rolls there is always a fair amount of fine paper dust in the dispenser.

That's where all the black dust on the London Underground comes from, plus *hair* dragged into the tunnels as the train leaves.

London Undergound have teams of cleaners who go through the tunnels between 1AM and 5AM manually scraping it all up.

can you still get the china box to put them in ?

Cliff Topp explained :

Thanks folks ;o)

Suspended floor? We've some shocking draughts come into our house from between the floor/shirting in certain areas and i'm convinced it brings a load of dust with it.

Try tucking your shirt in then

I'm guessing a robot vac that does a daily clean would help some. Some carpets hold a LOT of dust an agressive vac could remove.
