Where does all the dust in my house come from?Updated 7 months ago

We’ve all been there. You dust all the furniture and a few days later it’s covered in dust again. You glance toward a window on a sunny day and see particles, floating freely in the air.

Household dust is a mixture of many different substances that can come from a variety of sources inside and outside of your home. They include skin cells, fabric fiber, pollen, mold, dander, dirt, food just to mention a few. 

In addition to these sources, household dust can also contain a variety of other small particles, including bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.
