What causes my furniture to get so dusty? I constantly wipe it down and vacuum, but I feel like it is to no avail. Is there a better defense?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Here are a few ideas …
Keep powerful fans going all the time to keep it from settling.
Hermetically seal your house and use a super-fine air filter in your heating/air system.
If you prefer open windows, be sure you’re in a very, very humid climate, like Vietnam or Cuba (little static electricity and little dust, but you might have a mold and mildew problem).
Get rid of pets (they say that pet dander is a leading component of dust).
For that matter, get rid of people. They have dander, too. Set up a webcam in your house to enjoy it, but don’t ever go into it.
