Inside a home the most commonly found type of dust materials is dead skin. The source is the people that inhabit the dwelling. The problem that most people have with dust is its unsightly appearance. But there are also dangers not visible to the eye. Not only is dead skin airbone in your home, but so are molds, pollen, spores, pet dander, microorganisms and mineral particles. All of these contribute to dust. The dangers are usually increased for those people with respiratory problems mostly. Those with asthma or other ailments that restrict their breathing should be cautious when the household dust is disturbed.
For people who do not presently have any respiratory ailments, molds and spores could produce some if inhaled. Keeping your home as clean as possible is critical to preventing this health hazard.
Everyday dust will accumulate in your home. To help minimize this, many companies have produced a HEPA filter that is easy to install in a central heating system's duct work.

Some house cleaners use a feather duster to knock the dust off of the furniture and other objects. For the most part, this mostly only redistributes the dust to other locations in the house. A good portion of it will fall to the floor where a vacuum cleaner can pick it up, but not all of it. This is why it is suggested that a damp cloth be used to collect the dust. This will reduce the amount of dust and not redistribute it. Collecting the dust materials is necessary to keeping your home a safe and healthy place to live.
