How often are you changing or cleaning your HVAC filters? Are you vacuuming or cleaning any vents? Do you have pets?
I have cats and dogs so there are always dust bunnies. I can vacuum and there will already be a few on the floor. Just be vigilent and vacuum everyday. I did find that brushing me pets helps.
An Roomba type vacuum will help Consider a humidifier, that might help to keep it down.
yes filters from Home depot are the best... and living in Arizona, its all dirt and desert,
live here all my life and dust all over... i don't even open the windows sometimes... to keep dust away and vacuum the A.C. Filter the one in the house and that would help too..
I have had room air filters before, and they were ineffective in removing dust and lint even though they had HEPA filters. I suspect they just weren't large enough for the job. But larger, more powerful filters are noisier. Naomie is correct that changing your HVAC filters is important. Plan to do so at the first of each month. Using a better quality filter will result in more particulates being removed from the air. Poor quality filters have a loose mesh of fibers that trap only the largest particulates. Good quality filters have a folded filter material that catches more particulates. Filters that advertise for allergy control or as HEPA are best at removing very fine particulates but are more expensive. They usually have the same folded construction as good quality filters but the filter material is more tightly constructed.
Dust bunnies are a combination of dust, hair, dander and fabric fibers. Even if you don't have a pet, you and your family lose enough body hair and skin to contribute to dust bunnies. The other main source is lint. All natural fibers—cotton, linen, wool—and semi-synthetics such as rayon lose fibers every time you move. Tiny bits break off and eventually accumulate with the other detritus via static cling to form dust bunnies.
There is only so much you can do about dust bunnies. Plus, air movement in a home is not even. Corners and under furniture are calm areas where detritus settles and dust bunnies form. Maybe a Swiffer-type dry-mop that you can quickly run beneath your furniture would be a quick fix compared to hauling out your vacuum.
We have to run and jump into bed so dust bunnies don't bite us on the leg! They breed under the bed. Be careful. those little things are vicious ! Mindshift's ideas will help keep them at bey.
