Stupid thing a vacuum, even with the best filtering system it still blow dust back into the room.

I have a Beam built in vacuum system, bought of the bay for £5 complete with all the fittings,& had never been used, the main unit lives in the shed.

This is true

It just exhausts junk back into the air. Unless I rig a hose from the exhaust and hang it outside window

Also I thought Id vacuum the laptop keyboard so clean it...and about 12 keys got sucked up :eek:

Forgot the vacuum was on max-power setting..doh. Had to open the container and fish em all out. Im sorry Dell it ownt happen again *Pats XPS*

New place isn't so bad, but the old tenement house i use to live in was terrible, and it wasn't the fine dust it was the big clumpy almost hair like dust we use to get, like what you get in a hoover, and before anyone says a use to hoover twice a week. I'm sure a yeti had lived there before.

Lose the carpet; they're full of dirt.

Do anti-static coatings/sprays work when it comes to repelling dust?

Yep, coat every surface of the room in an anti-static spray and all of the dust will be repelled into a convenient, and, in my opinion at least, slight beautiful orb.

Its my boogie board that does my head in, it's like a dust magnet!

Glass is horrible around dust. If you get a spray bottle, put water in it and damp the air a little bit you will find dust will settle better.

A steam machine is brilliant for this sort of stuff!

Also hoover more, clean more.

I think anti-perspirant contributes to the dust

just so you know, the inside of your nose has lots of green snot, this is your body trying to reduce the dust/dirt going into your nose.

next time you pick your nose i suggest that you should wipe it onto the intakes of your case rather than eating it.

couple of months you might have a great filter setup?

It could be down to anti antiperspirant if you spray that in your bedroom.

I find having cases with big fan intakes (I had a pair with 2x 250mm on each) seem to pull a lot of dust into the room, clogging up the case needing regular cleaning and also making the room much dustier much quicker than the rest of the house. Tho it still builds up using a laptop instead for most of my everyday useage has massive reduced how quickly the dust builds up in the room.
