Why Is My House So Dusty?

Poor Air Filtration: Inadequate HVAC filters or lack of regular filter changes can allow dust particles to circulate throughout the home instead of being trapped. 

Open Windows and Doors: Opening windows and doors can allow dust and pollen from outside to enter the home, contributing to indoor dust buildup. 

High Foot Traffic Areas: Areas with high foot traffic, such as entryways and hallways, can stir up dust settled on surfaces, leading to increased dust dispersion. 

Lack of Cleaning: Infrequent or improper cleaning practices, such as neglecting to dust surfaces or vacuum regularly, can result in dust accumulation throughout the home. 

Pet Dander: Pets shed hair and dander, which can contribute to dust buildup on floors, furniture, and other surfaces if not properly managed through regular cleaning and grooming. 

Old Carpets and Upholstery: Old carpets and upholstery can trap dust and other allergens, releasing them into the air when disturbed by movement or airflow. 

Leaky Ductwork: Leaky ductwork in HVAC systems can allow dust and debris to enter the home's indoor air supply, leading to increased dust levels throughout the house. 

Humidity Levels: High humidity levels can lead to dust mites and mold growth, both of which contribute to indoor dust accumulation. Similarly, low humidity levels can cause dust particles to become airborne more easily.
