You may be shocked to discover that a significant amount of dust is made by you!  According to some sources, humans shed 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every minute.  And when you add pets to the mix, watch out!  Just think how many dead skin cells might be floating in your air or in the chair you’re sitting in right now.  It’s kind of scary.

Dust also makes its way into our homes from the air outside that contains everything from volcano ash to pollen, and though dust may seem like just another annoying household chore demanding our attention, it can contain dust mites that can cause serious allergies.  Regular vacuuming can help.  Air Purification Systems with HEPA filters, and central vacuums are also effective in combating dust.  Learn more about various indoor air quality solutions by clicking here.
