"What exactly is it that causes a home to become so very dusty? -- Susan Brainard, Tampa, FL According to the dictionary, dust is created by airborne particles of fine, dry matter from the surface of the ground. It seems like you can never get rid of it, whether or not windows are open -- although closed windows can help to prevent pollen and other pollutants from entering. The amount of dust that accumulates depends on where you live and the time of year. Inside, dry-dusting just pushes the dirt around. You need a furniture polish, a multipurpose spray cleaner (if it&amp;#039;s appropriate for the surface) or a slightly damp cloth to draw and hold dust. Use clean cloths, paper towels or microfiber sheets. For hard-to-dust items like pleated lampshades or louvered doors, vacuum using a dusting attachment. To help control dust, change or clean the air filters in heating and air-conditioning units every month. And vacuum often if you have wall-to-wall carpeting, which tends to trap dust. Reduce dust coming into your home by placing mats in front of every entrance. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
