Dust Prevention

Hi,
Any tips on the best way to prevent dust building up in a room? I can't exactly keep the window open all the time :rolleyes: any devices that are low cost or any traditional methods?
Thanks!

Eh.... use a fúcking duster/clean?

Yeah, that's the thing, the dust is the main problem. It's clean otherwise. So, any ways to prevent the dust forming all over the room? Any sort of device that will attract the dust to it?

Clearly Cormie is re-stating the well known maxim: "Cleaning is a bird's job" and not having a compliant bird at his disposal, is seeking an alternative solution to his mounting dust problem.

I suggest allowing it to mount up to epic proportions before bulk-shovelling it out with a small remote control JCB. Cleaning can be fun. Do it at night, naked, wearing night-vision goggles and peanut butter for that extra special feeling of SAS trained PTSD nocturnal perversion.

I used to have a de-ionizer. I forget exactly why and what it actually did, for that matter but I think it had some role in taking dust particles out of the air and placing them by electrical magic on the floor, thus facilitating the accumulation of jcb-able dust mounds.

Hope that helps.

A duster. Or leave a PC with it's case off running all the time. That should pick up alot of dust.

A mate of mine has an air filter thing. It's quite cool as it has 3 speeds and a little smiley face thing. When it's dusty or dirty in the air there is a frowning face and when it's fine there is a green face. We check it all the time by blowing cigarette smoke into it and it does the frowny face.

You'd like him, he doesn't clean his house, he gets someone else to do it.

Second Law of Thermodynamics - Dust cannot be prevented, only moved elsewhere.

The only surefire way of ensuring a room doesn't get dusty is to a) Seal it airtight, and cleaner than a hospital operating theatre, and b) Never, ever use it.

Otherwise you just have to clean every now and again.

I was hoping it wouldnt come to that
