The fact that household dust is made up mainly of dead skin cells is a myth. House dust is made up of mainly fabric fibers (from clothes, bed sheets, carpets...), bits of dry stuff like food or cardboard, untreated wood and good old fashioned dirt. There's also a lot of skin of course.
This can vary considerably from house to house or room to room.
