I have a client who lives in an urban "condo" she swears by it. The above link has close to 3000 reviews with the far majority giving it 5 stars.

I think this would be quicker and cheaper way to get around the problem.

Did you ever see that Gary Larson Cartoon...About the "real reason fo the noise upstairs"

It was a pic of two people tossing cinder block bricks at a large target drawn on the middle if the floor.

often will help. You need to look at this as a "global" management plan. In early june we also experience the "yellow wind" this is where thousand of square miles of local pine pollen is released. Being June, we like to open windows as this is the first part of the year where it is warm enough for this.

I have not used an aerosol "furniture dusting" spray in over 20 years. a lightly damped cotton rag is our goto method for furniture. we use a heavy "towel" type rag for doing the hardwood floors and granite tile. sometimes "dry dusting" is done with the cotton rag.

Closing windows on windy days will help keep the dust outside.

it is a wood framed door be sure to paint it well with an exterior rated paint...this will reduce the potential for rot due to higher humidity and exposure to water / soil.

fruiting body (reproductive part) of the organism. The far greater bulk of the fungi are comprised of Mycelium ...these are fine hair like structures. Fungi feed on dead plant matter, so keeping that "out" of the soil will help. rather than leaving grass clippings and trimmings in the garden remove them and compost them "off site". The higher density or critical mass of a compost bin often allows these to decompose at a higher temp via bacteriological methods..temps where fungi are challenged.

Hand picking early will reduce the spore load for future generations.

( I define winter as any month I have had to shovel snow) ...the last patch of snow melted from my yard last Thursday ( 5-14-13).

Many of the smaller alpine lakes around me have the same issue, and it is fun to rib some of the tourists that come up here to vacation and "fish". Most of these folks are clueless that the majority of these small mountain lake do not have any fish in them at all due to freezing...solid. Ice here is often measured in feet and not inches. We had a cold snap two years ago that bottomed out at -40 or so.

My tool trailer pictured in the above post is a bit over 7 feet high.

fungi help with water retention, and the algae provide the photosynthetic food energy. Here in the rockies we see more of the "orange" kind of lichen on rocks...up in some of the highter elevations 9 to 10 thousand feet. the predominant form of lichen is stringy and can be found on branch tips.

Southern folks think they look a lot like "spanish moss" (Tillandsia usneiodes) which is a flowerling plant ...and not a moss at all.

I had done the tub was an older cast iron beast that would have cost about a 1000 to replace. (that is just the tub price. Getting the old one out and a new one in would have been another grand as well...so yes it is cheaper than a swap and the homeowners were super happy with the results. I had this done about 6-7 years ago and have not heard a single bad thing from them.
