Why does my bedroom have so much dust?

Q. Where the hell is it coming from? I have bad allergies, so last week I vacuumed, cleared out all the clutter and dusted damn near everything. I replaced the air filter on my AC system. And now, just a week later, there's already a layer of dust on my shelves and I still have allergies in here. My fan isn't very powerful, is that why? I just want to know- where is it coming from and how do I get rid of it or keep it from accumulating? Thanks.

A. You're probably in your bedroom at least eight hours a day, shedding hair, skin flakes, etc. And when you move your clothes around, they also shed bits of fiber. AND, if you haven't cleaned in a while, some of the dust from the last cleaning was floating in the air, and settled back down after cleaning.

You need to dust once a week, at the minimum. That's the way it is. You may need to dust more, depending on how clean the room was to start with, and how much dust settles. But time yourself cleaning -- it may seem like a lot of work to dust and vacuum, but I'm guessing your bedroom would only take 10 minutes total (just dusting and vacuuming -- you probably need another 10 minutes a day to clear up clutter).

Keep at it!
