Why is my home so dusty? There are so many factors, including:

• Spending more time at home creates dust and dirt
• Pets create a dustier environment
• Opening windows to increase ventilation increases the particle load (dust)
• Decorations inhibit dust
• Indoor cooking increases particles and dust
• Cleaning – while alleviating dust and dirt, cleaning also stirs up dust
