Hello,

My appartment is almost always full with dust, dust, dust and dust. And not
just sandy banks of dust but large dust clouds as well

I am really starting to wonder where all this dust is coming from.

My first guess is:

1. My own body, lot's of hairs and little hairs and stuff like that (cells
dieing off).

2. My clothes and maybe bed sheets.

Since producing electronics/chips requires to keep the dust out I wonder if
maybe you guys (?) know something about all this ?

What's the percentage of the above ?

What kind of clothes produce less dust ?

What kind of fabrics ?

Bye,
Skybuck (Who would like to reduce the dust in his house LOL )

Some people have vacuum cleaners, and use them to keep their house
clean.

Men don't do dusting or housework - I know because I am one. We like gadgets
and toys. We like to be clean, but generally can't quite be bothered enough
to get up and do something about it. Its a terrible admission, but true!! I
recently bought myself a new 'boys toy' - an iRobot Roomba. Its an automatic
(robotic) hoover. You turn it on when you go out and come back to a hoovered
house (the going out part is optional, but an ideal excuse to go to the
pub). I found that this toy reduces the amount of dust generally about the
house. We used to have to dust skirting boards and other things, but when
the dust level is lower on the carpet, it seems to be generally lower
everywhere else too.

OR...

You could take up nudism and loose the clothes. Wrap yourself in cling-film,
then no skin particles can escape - just don't fart!

How about the pharmaceutical industry. It requires the use of special garb
to eliminate/reduce particulates and germs. More importanly, the
environment is specially treated to reduce sheding of particulates.
Environmental surfaces are chosen/treated to be impervious (hard, dust-free,
non-shedding).

We worked to 'Class 100' air standards, which translates to 100 particles
(or less) per cubic foot, of a size of 0.5 micrometer (millionth of a meter)
or less.

See following. Failing that, synthetic fibers would tend to dust less.

Most clean-room garb is made of Tyvek which is dust-free (for all practical
purposes). You might get a little warm wearing it as it is a moisture
barrier (house wrap) and your sweat will not evaporate. Dacron was also
used. It also makes one warm.

Sounds familiar...

Ya.

If they shedded that much, you'd have literally no bed sheets in a week. ;-)

Well, production uses tight clothes and strong ventilation (replacing air in
the room several times an hour). But floor and ceiling grates and massive
fans and filters aren't practical or possible in an apartment.

You might try... showering more often, add fans and filters, or replace
your furnace filter more often at least, or just keep going around and
blowing the dust out of your computer and whatever every couple weeks.

Well, you hit two sources but 'dust' comes from hundreds, thousands, nay
millions of sources, depending on how one catalogues it. Take plant pollen
as just one example. That gives you a few million sources right there.
Decaying biomatter. Walk over some dead leaves and, poof, you man-made some
more 'dust' or, rather, just speeded up the process a bit. And mother
nature ensures that any and everything even remotely resembling 'dust' will
get nicely and effectively distributed to every conceivable nook and cranny
of the planet by wind even if it didn't adhere to and get transported by
every moving object.

Unless you live in a filtered clean-room there's going to be 'dust'.

What kind of heating system?

A space heater generally has no filtration system, it just stirs up
the dust. Solution: Dust furniture and vacuum often. And/or get an
electrostatic air cleaner... they are available as stand-alone units.

Central air has replaceable or cleanable filters. Change/clean them
monthly.

Or hire a cleaning service ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Two tips: dust and vacuum twice a week, and keep the windows and doors shut
if temps allow it. If I didn't live with a woman who is cleaning nut, I
wouldn't have a clue about how clean (or dirty) a house can quickly get.
I'ts not your clothes, unless you work in a dusty environment and track it
in.

Technically speaking, 'dirty' clothes don't 'product' dust but have
collected some amount of what was previously produced by other sources. Or,
at least, the 'dirty' part doesn't.

On the other hand, clean clothes (and by extension 'dirty' ones too) *do*
produce 'dust' by gradual disintegration of the fabric through wear;
flaking, thread breakage, etc.

You have a practical point, though
