Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?
Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 day agoI’ve found that regularly wiping the floors helps quite a bit. You don’t have to be super thorough, just reduce the amount of dust in the room.
Not sure, if vacuuming would work similarly well, since it kicks dust into the air, which can settle on surfaces again…

The floors are the least of my worries because I spray mop it, it’s the dust on shelves, plants, irregular shaped stuff that’s annoying and much more time consuming to dust

It’s not the particular surface that people are concerned about, but more frequent cleaning of that surface might reduce overall dust settling everywhere

I’m saying spray-mop the floor once a week and you’ll take most of the dust out of that room before it settles on harder-to-clean surfaces, which reduces how often you need to clean shelves, plants etc…
Most dust in a typical household is from shed skin cells, from either humans or pets. And I do imagine that most shed skin cells just fall onto the floor at first and can be collected there.
