Help me rid my house of dust

[hmwnick]

Please tell me what you do to minimize the dust in your house. It is making me nuts! We only have carpet in the bedrooms & tile elsewhere. We use high quality a/c filters, but still the dust remains.


Do any of you use air purifiers?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Can't help here...I have 3 count them, 3 air purifiers in my living room and it still does not help.

I really think people dust and vacuum several times a day to keep it away.

Consumer Reports have done many studies and have concluded that the air purifiers do not work at all.

OP, my house is dusty too, so I don't have any ideas. Sorry.

You just have to dust more often! I particularly love the swiffer products -- any of those cloths really pick up dust instead of pushing it around. I think they were a great invention. I dust 3-4 times a week and vacuum 3 times. We have no pets, but kids are messy and dust-producers too!

Do you wear glasses or contacts? If so, just take them off. It works for me!

We had our furnace ducts cleaned and that helped. Our furnace guy said NOT to use the high quality filters, it reduces air flow and makes your furnace work less efficiently. I didn't notice a difference in the dust level, at all, when I switched to the cheap ones. Have you cleaned the carpets in the bedrooms lately? That might help some.
