Dustless clothes ?

I don't know about dust, but the "Smokeaters" brand certainly clears cigarette smoke and smells.

If that's intended to be a snide little swipe at the OP, careful there because, actually, he's right.

Something like 90% of household dust is dead, exfoliated skin cells shed from the home's occupants.

And the rest is dried urine vapor and farts ;-)

I have a bachelor friend (former employee) who cools his house with a

When spring cleaning time arrives, he opens all the windows, runs the cooler full blast, then walks around with a hose from his air compressor blowing all the dust off of everything and out the windows.

This is the same employee whose grocery shopping list was: can of beans, can of cat food, and a six-pack ;-)

A cheap help I just read somewhere. Buy a regular cheap box fan, 20" on a side. Tape some filter foam to the front of the fan. Turn it on. Change the foam when it gets dirty and don't run it all of the time. Should work about as well as the expensive air cleaners (which don't work all that well according to tests).

y appartment is almost always full with dust, dust, dust and dust. And not just sandy banks of dust but large dust clouds as well :)

Vacuuming is definately necessary, regardless. A really cool bachelor thing is to use a big blower, with all the windows open. Perhaps some women use this technique. I have not tried this myself with my Stihl gasoline blower. An effective home cleaner is a box fan and a 3M electrostatic filter. Cheaper brand electrostatic filters will work but not as well. Its not an efficient filter in the CFM category, even though they call it efficient, but much more efficient than HEPA. The 3M will filter a percentage of smoke particles. Actually for just dust, a high flow rate filter will work fine.

Less fabric is dirtier.

although i make a lot of snide remarks... this is one time i was serious... we make out own dust !

That would be kinda funny, to wear such white suits in your own home while you sit and computer alllll day long !

Then one would be truely geeky ;)

"Nonononono, must wear suit to prevent me from dustcrapping the crap out of my house" :)

I kinda like this idea of catching all the dust.

But I wonder how effective it would be.... I must still get fresh air two times a day at least.

I think it would pretty effective though. Since it's probably 95% of my own cells lieing around ;)

Bye, Skybuck.

Duly noted.

You threw me with the "someday you will be All dust"...

:-D
