Short answer
In the city, most dust comes from outside. Keeping the window shut is not the answer; the home gets stuffy. The real answer is to let the air in while keeping the dust out.
Habits that reduce dust
- Choose when you air the room. Avoid the hours when traffic and building work are heaviest.
- Open opposite windows. A short, strong airflow carries less dust than a window left ajar for a long time.
- Clean with a damp cloth. Dry wiping lifts dust into the air.
- Do not forget the doormat. A doormat reduces the dust brought in on shoes.
