I swear my house is like a dust magnet. Everything seems covered 24/7. What do you do to curb the dust from collecting 24/7?

We get a lot of dust but there is still some construction not too far from us and I think that is where it is coming from. We use the more expensive air filters that catch 98% of dust and allergens in our furnace/ac. And we also use room air filters. We tried the ionic ones, but I didn't like smell they left in the room plus they actually create ozone... we got rid of those quickly. We just use the kind with the filters that you have to change and I think they really do keep down the dust and they also help with all our allergies.

We have a whole house filter system thingy - have had it since I was diagnosed with allergies a long time ago. Hmmmm, maybe I need to have DH check the filter. tongue.gif blush.gif

I use the filters like Dee Dee mentioned and I also have those hepa-filter (sp) things in every room and it helps a LOT. Brae's allergies are INSANE and dust and the things it carries is a HUGE one for him, so I have to really work at things on a daily basis.
