My kitchen is always dusty(floors, countertops,etc)and I don't know why. I've lived in other apartments and never experienced this problem. I know kitchens need dusting too, but I did not think everyday.
I don't have any carpeting in the house, and the kitchen has ceramic floors.

I keep the windows closed and I don't live near any factories. I live in the city with no dirt fields or anything like that.
This is the first place I've lived that has air vents, maybe that has something to do with it. If so, what can I do about it?

I bet you live in an older home!!!??Most older homes will leave you "dusty"I think it's because of who lived there before you didn't dust as often and it is stuck in the crevices of your house.I lived in a home that wasn't too old but was dusty,I bought a air purifier and it caught the dust and cleared the air,making it easier to keep the dust at bay,for some reason homes with tile or hardwood floors seem to be dustier than homes with carpet I think because carpet catches the dirt and can be vacuumed and the dirt or dust on tile floors scatters when you walk and causes dust to fall over everything.Do you happen to enter/exit through the kitchen door?The kitchen is a high traffic area so dust can spread easily.Get a air purifier.

Did you know that oil floats through the air? If you do a lot of frying in a deep fryer or a pan, that could cause the oil to stick to stuff and in turn cause the dust to stick to the oil. Also check the filter on your vent. If it's clogged the air is not getting sucked properly. Do you have a window in your kitchen? What's right outside your window? Do you have a gardener that uses those noisy irritating dust blowers? Just a few ideas...

You know I just bought a house that also has all wood floors, tile in bath and kitchen. I've never seen so much dust, I don't know where it all comes from. But I also have floor vents for heating and a laundry and gameroom downstairs, must have something to do with. I use one of those large dust mops for the floor and just dampen with water for the kitchen, and spay a bit of wood polish for the floors.

Check your vents and windows. I had a similar problem at one place and it was just the fact that the direction the wind usually came from blew straight into my kitchen window and brought dust with it. Try keeping your kitchen window closed and if you have any areas outside that are just dirt plant some grass or cement over it.

Oh expensive, is Island (line 2) a kitchen pun? i imagine that's curiously a seasonal poem, a style very expensive to me. for that reason i'd not substitute the identify; besides the undeniable fact that, to me, new child ducklings advise the poem starts round Easter. My inclination is to divide the poem in 1/2 after stanza 3, at the same time as the speaker closes the window. The flow interior is fairly plangent, and that i appreciate stz. 5, lines 3-4. i do no longer imagine that `internet' is an meant pun on `dusty' (i love the off-rhyme with `learn'), besides the undeniable fact that the North Wind seals the seasonal circulation of the poem-- and for me replaced into coincidentally suitable, because I were merely listening to Chopin's iciness Wind Etude a couple of minutes in the previous analyzing this poem. with reference to the differences, i love your unique first line, because line 2 already captures the experience the recent version conveys. I also like your unique identify, because I trust Ms S that a kitchen table is the centre of a present day abode-- and hence to my recommendations, no count number the position interior the poem digresses, it remains the anchor; at the same time as summer time likewise seems the centre of the poem. The round table for one image is problem-free and effectual.

This may sound crazy but you may want to dust the ceiling, maybe the walls too. They may be dusty but it so evenly distributed that it just looks clean.
Secondly, the dust may be coming from your refrigerator coils. When were they last cleaned? I bet they're loaded and the fan is blowing around the finer dust particles.

If you are opening the windows more often then that could be your problem if there is a lot of dust around. Or keeping the door open.

Do you have a factory near by or something? Get that Ionic Breeze from the infomercial. It will collect all of that pesky dust.

Maybe open the windows to let some of the air in.
