Dust has to come from somewhere. Block wherever it's coming from?

Thanks, but I learned a lot of the indoor-dust comes from the human skin (dead skin cells), from furniture and pets. I can't really block myself, need something to sit on and my pets are cute. I could block the outdoor dust (pollen, sand and so on) but that would also mean blocking the oxygen it comes with.
I've seen those pictures of your room at the top of a house, and I'd say it's pretty mandatory that you have at least a little bit of dust to float by the window so the sunshine can pass through it. Attics aren't attics without that.
You could also put a little miniature black hole in the corner of your room... that would probably take care of it...
here are a few tips I've learned from watching tv:
- use white wine to get red wine out of cream carpets
- use helium fill ballons with tissue on it to gather floating dust
- use air filters
- use dust collection systems
Uh, thanks, but I don't have wine stains nor cream carpets, the balloon thing doesn't sound it would work, air filters sound unhealthy..and what are dust collection systems? I should spend more time watching TV.
I did notice that the top floor of my house is a lot more dusty than the other rooms. Maybe it does suffer from attic-itis like OMC said.
If you have an air filter, it really helps reduce the dust
I've heard there's some type of furniture cleaner that supposedly makes the dust less "clingy."
Um... I think that's all I got... good luck with fighting the dust bunnies!
Is it alot of dust? ... uhhh ... get yourself a bag made out of some kind of material that will collect dust and not let it escape ... then connect it to a fan with the fan blowing into it so it sucks the dust into the bag ... ?
Or you could try those Ionic dust collection plate things .... I doubt they really work though, never used em before.
Maybe try ShamWow cloths with dust spray or furniture polish?
Blood of the Ancient One, Seen only as Shadow, Faster than Lightning, Fierce as the Greatest Dragon, Nearly Invisible, Floating in a Dream, Entered through the Demon Door, Destroyer of Evil in a Realm with a Red Sky Scarred, Who could I be ?
I also get a lot of dust in my room, it just accumulates very easily. Not sure why though.. like dust will settle on my keyboard in a relatively short amount of time.
On another note, has anyone seen the Dane Cook movie "My Best Friend's Girl"? He sells air filters for a living, it's quite funny because no one can prove that it's not actually working in their house.
Which is true. Unless you have the tools to break down and identify what chemicals, substances, particles are in your air. But I doubt it.

You'd be surprised. Dihydrogen monoxide (made with only one oxygen atom) kills thousands every year.
Anyway, on topic..
My house has humans and my girl's house has plenty of humans and cats, but I don't even notice any dust. Probably related to outside things like pollution or barbecues. Or chalk. I'd assume you have a lot of chalk?
Oh.. and vacuum cleaners tend to release dust if they're not filtered or emptied properly. That sounds like it could very well be the problem. Sure, it cleans up dust from some parts of your house, but after a certain limit, it starts spewing that dust back out.
