Why is my room always so dusty?

Question

My room is the only room that gets dusty in like 3 days. I always vacuum my room every week and i am also very neat and clean. My dad says its because i always leave the door closed but my sister leaves the door closed more than me and her room is dust free and she never cleans it she cleans it maybe once a month, and also my parents room is dust free too and then never dust it or anything and vacuum maybe once evry 2 weeks. Its mostly my tv that gets the most dust like really thick and my parents and my sisters room is nothing on there. I dont know whats wrong with my room im the only one that has to dust my room liek every 3 days and vacuum it liek every week. I have the windows shut because my dad said dust can come in through there, maybe i should open it once in a while? Please help?

Answer 1

You may have a return air duct in your room, which will cause more dust. When cleaning your room do the following...

Make your bed right before or after your morning shower. A neat bed will inspire you to deal with other messes immediately. Although smoothing sheets and plumping pillows might not seem like a high priority as you're rushing to work, the payoff comes at the end of the day, when you slip back under the unruffled covers.

First, do you have the television on a lot? Televisions work on the same principle as magnets. They build up static electricity and that draws dust. My father was a Television Repairman and I learned that much from him. Next, how old is your house? Very new houses(ten years or younger) and very old houses(Older than 50 years, are generally dusty and some parts of houses are dustier for some reason. Have you recently done remodeling in your room? It takes 5-10 yrs for dust to settle from construction. What is right above your room? If there is like another room above you just the settling might be causing dust. My room also seems dustier. I don't understand that. What kind of vacuum do you have? Some just stir up the dust. Especially if the bag is getting full. Dyson makes a most excellent vacuum which doesn't have a bag, or filter and cleans much better. My daughter borrowed mine and I haven't gotten it back for awhile, even though I bought her a vacuum last year. If you are having a lot of problem with dust you might think about getting an air filter. Sharper Image makes a great filterless air purifier. Take note, Dyson and the Sharper Image air purifier cost several hundred apiece, so save your money. However, I can say I can notice some difference in the room where the purifier is and when you clean the filter grid you will be amazed by the amount of dust it collects, even though you can't hear it running. It could also be you are a little more particular about cleanliness than the rest of your family.

Dusty Room

Answer 4

It's not your fault your room is dusty, how could you be to blame for that. What your parents have to do is sit down and ask themselves why your room has this problem. They should be the ones to assist you with this problem. Also the location of your room may be a factor, is your room overlooking a yard, or park, are there many trees or shrubs in that area? Do you have a pet that makes frequent unseen visits to your room?
I have lived in many places throughout my life and I have had to dust frequently depending on where I lived. Keeping windows closed is not very healthy as there are more toxins inside a home in the winter months than outside! That's going a little to far I think. I wouldn't get upset over a dust problem as long as you have a fairly clean room. It's easy to keep it neat and very easy to dust, so no need to worry , as dust is a part of the environment that we will never be able to eradicate. It a normal part of the environment.!Good Luck and remember it's not your fault!

Answer 5

YES Dust is dead skin cells but don't forget that dust is attracted to electronic devices as if they were magnets! that could be why your tv seems really dusty. It's able to hold onto those dust particle for you so you don't have to work so hard to find them! :-))

Do you have pets in your room a lot? Pet dander is a major source of dust as well [more dead skin cells], especially since they don't take showers daily like humans. If you are dusting with a regular towel or rag, it is just going to make the dust fly into the air when you "whoosh" over it, so try some of those Pledge (R) or Swiffer (R) wipes, because they really do pick up and HOLD the dust. I use a special microfiber cloth that also holds the dust, which I really need because I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bird in my house!! and I'm always dusting. [I know, yuck, but hey I like as clean a house as possible] Your best best other than vacuuming weekly and dusting weekly, is to definitely get an air filter. Your sinuses and lungs will appreciate it as well! Good luck!

Answer 6

It's healthy to open up as often as possible, to get fresh air.

Maybe you have something in the room, like ceiling tiles, some fabrics, even some plastics, which are deteriorating continuously.

Have you never seen what dust is made of? Of everything! It has skin flakes, carpet fibres, fibres from all kinds of cloth, tiny particles of wood, stone, drywall, chalk, and so forth. Get a microscope of quality sufficient so you can see, then you will understand what I am telling you. Dust is inevitable. You can best minimalize it with an air filter.

It's not heathy to keep the windows and door shut all the time. You have to let the bad vapours that come from plastics and other chemical products, and even flatulation and exhalations out.

Fresh air! Let it in, man.

Answer 8

If you have open windows in your room, it will get dusty. If you close them but there's lots of leaks, closing them doesn't do a lot of good.

If the air vents in the house are poorly configured or the vent to your room has dust in it, you may be getting unfiltered dusty air in your room.

The television attracts dust, so if your television is on more than the rest of the house, it will have most dust.

Answer 9

Could be several reasons, have the air ducts been vacuumed and the air filter changed? I find buying the cheaper filters and changing them once a month helps a lot. Does your room have carpet, this adds to the dust just because it is impossible to get the dirt out from under it by vacuuming. Wood or tiles floors equals less dust. Do you have a lot of papers or cardboard in your room, also sources of dust.

Causes of Dust: Not dusting weekly Carpeting (LOTS of dust in carpeting and every time you vacuum, it is brushed up again) Poor quality air filter in furnace or a/c You live in CA or some other dusty area (my sister had to dust almost daily) Construction going on within a 5 mile radius

Answer 11

Are you in your room a lot? Is your room more enclosed than the other rooms? These could be some reasons. Also your room may be facing a major street or highway and all the dust travels from there to your room. You could always get an air purifier if it really bothers you.
