LOL - that's so true. I was telling DH last night that I remember Sat or
Sunday mornings my mom would put on the apron, grab dust cloths, and make me
trot around doing more cleaning - leaves on the house plants, etc.
Fanatical - despite our not downtrodden housekeeper being at the house
either 2 or 3 days a week when we were kids. DM was never convinced that
the house was clean enough. So, before I'd head out - I had to clean. Hard
to believe - as our house now is dust bunny ranch.

Ah - but the clean freak, everything lined up just so one was Dad and Mom
wasn't a SAHM.

So we've heard. And some homes (mine being one of them) breed dust more than
others. I have hot air heat and it (supposedly) is the worst for breeding
more dust.

Ah...I knew there was a reason. I have forced hot air, too...and not to
mention, I live in urban Maryland (bad air pollution).

Since moving here in NE Wisconsin - sandy loam - my house is filthy with
dust most of the time. Partly because we need our ducts cleaned. Not
gray dust, but black and gritty (especially when the windows are open).
Now with two dogs, I'm really frustrated. The dust accumulates faster
than ever.
We have a laundry room off the bathroom, and both rooms are terribly
dusty - to the point of frustration.
We have hardwood floors, and I use both a broom and a "swiffer" duster
(which I love). But I'm thinking a vacuum might be better. Any ideas?
Our cavaliers shed a lot even though I groom them almost daily. I saw
a commercial on the Dysan ball vacuum, and a lot of it was on bare
floors. I thought that unusual. I normally think: vacuum = carpet/rugs.
