Room size electric air filters help with my son's allerges. and keep your air conditioner filter clean.

I dust once a week and then sew the rest of the week without worry. Company comes and I tell them I cleaned last week and they missed it!!!

The problem is not that you have too much dust, the problem is that you don't have enough clutter. Put enough objects on top of flat surfaces and the dust will have nowhere to settle. Voila!

You can touch the dust, but please don't write in it.

That's what I was going to say! Let it build up a bit and you have design pads everywhere you are; what a deal!! Not a crisis, but an opportunity.

I live in a dust bowl. I agree quit looking for dust and quit worrying about it. It like this if you know that its pointless why expend the energy all the time, just make it a weekly chore. you're gonna drive yourself nuts worrying about dust

We live in the East Bay and our cars are always covered with dust. I think it is just in the air these days.

Living in the desert - dust is a constant. I have learned that it's okay to have dust - a dust free house means someone has nothing else to do!

Just kill 2 birds with one stone. Buy more fabric and drape it over your furniture to keep the dust from settling.

I recently complained to my DH that I just don't dust often enough. His response was "Why would you want to?" lol So I didn't start and didn't have to finish.
