Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
I could dust every day and come away with a load of dust. Our place before this was never like this. Are some houses just dustier than others?
DH claims it's because we have a woodburning stove, but it's just as dusty in the summer, so I don't think that's the reason.
It's so annoying and embarrassing, I feel like there's always a film of dust on everything!!

Do you think thats what it is? i live in the Channel... i just figured it was the damp air that makes the dust stick to surfaces.

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
Yes but I have a pug and 2 cats so I dust and vacuum daily because of them.

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
Yes but I think it's more cat hair than dust.
My cats shed to the point where you can clone them daily from the hair they leave behind!

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
YES! And I have glass end tables.
We recently had a sleep over with our two cousins (7 and 9 y/o) and naturally I cleaned the place top to bottom before they got there. The younger one walked in and goes "Wow, it's really dusty in here."

its just my theory, but i do love to leave the windows open to air out the apartment very often so and my windowsils are full of black jet fuel looking dirt so
never considered the dampness but i'm sure that contributes

This is where I would have busted out the swiffer duster and the white gloves and said "You have at it then!!" Smart azz

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
Yes, I attribute it to our dark wood furniture. I think it's that the dust shows more than it would on lighter furniture.

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
I do, and it's probably because I keep my windows open all the time, even a tiny bit during the winter. Once the heat goes on it gets worse.
Add to that cat hair.
It's a constant battle and the swiffer doesn't really cut it. I use a lightly damp flannel cloth to wipe up the dust, and regularly vacuum the furniture, drapes and blinds.

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
YES!
I have thought about posting this question before because I feel like it can't be normal.
Someone told me it's because I live close to a crematory Not sure how accurate that is.
Anyway, it is very annoying!!! I feel like I am dusting constantly & it's not enough.

Re: Does anyone else have a really dusty house?
Yup! It was like that before I got animals though too. I've tried switffering, I've tried using pledge, I even break out the attachments and vacuum the dust away. Doesn't matter, it is back in an hour.
