I've noticed that my office collects a ton of dust really quickly. No matter how often I clean—like wiping everything down every month—it still seems to build up in no time. What causes dust to accumulate in homes, and where should I start addressing this issue? It feels like I'm only a week or so in before my shelves are dusty again!

First off, you might want to check your furnace filter; a clogged filter can definitely contribute to more dust in the air. Secondly, think about the humidity levels in your office. High humidity can make dust stick to surfaces more easily. Investing in an air purifier can also make a huge difference in reducing dust.
If you're curious about dust, check out the book "The Secret Life of Dust." It dives into a bunch of life happening in dust, which might give you a new perspective on what's going on in your office!
So, a lot of dust comes from inside the house—dead skin cells, pet hair, and fibers from clothes and fabrics. Even with good air quality and filters, you might find yourself needing to dust more often than once a month if you want to keep it looking good.
