What causes so much dust in a house if you dust all of the furniture and two days later it looks like it has been weeks since it was done?

Answer

Sources of dust are many. Some dust is dried skin from the occupants. Dust from outside floats in through all sorts of gaps in the house. Dirt from outside is tracked in. Gas heaters and waterheaters and stoves cause carbon dust. Cooking can create dust. Clothes carry and create lint. Small creaters, dust mites, spiders and other crawlers can be a source.

If there are filters in your furnace/air conditioner, you may need to change it.

Getting vents cleaned can also help.

Answer

Dusting used to be considered a daily chore, because it is necessary. You can see the dust very well in the sunlight.Try to only view it in the evening.

Answer

some times your cleaning methods don't really pick any dust up, you just have it floating in the air by wiping it and when this dust settles, more dust has joined it.
