Ok....I clean my apartment once a week and mop, etc. It AMAZES me how fast these things come back. I don't understand it...is there any way to stop them or slow them down? I swear the one bunny under my bed last week was about to eat me it was so big!

Do you guys have this same problem? And can someone please tell me why the brooms in Korea are only like 1-2ft tall?

Some places in Seoul are really dirty. All those fuzzy crap can't really be helped.

You must molt a lot.

Try shaving your pubes off, that should lower the bunny count.

it's not korea.....if you had carpet you wouldn't notice it as much, it just needs to be swept / vacuumed more often, even if you gave it a quick vacuum every day orr two it would keep it at bay

You could use a can of hairspray and a lighter.

I disagree. I had hardwood floors back in Canada, and vacuuming once a week did the trick. Here, it's every second day, or the floors look filthy.

When you can see the air in front of you, that's when you know you are living in a polluted city.

I think it's all the cremations Shocked

OP, try a vacum cleaner - I bought one for about 60,000 won at Lotte Mart and it's cut back the dust considerably in my apt.

Get the little sweeper you put a piece of cotton (or whatever it is) and run it around the floor quick once a day.

it's not the same for a proper hardwood floor, just seems to be the fake shit / linoleum type stuff that is comes up on......don't worry about it!! i live in a really nice place, not really polluted, but i still get it after 2 -3 days if i have been lazy and not vacuumed

Agreed. It's the air above her.

After three months into my first contract, I switched apartments with a teacher/friend who was leaving. She thoroughly cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom and her room before she left, and probably regularly cleaned it during her stay. However, she neglected to move her bed to sweep, again, probably during her entire year in Korea.

A colony of dust bunnies dwelled beneath her! I really considered collecting all of the dust, filling into a box or two and mailing to her. Absolutely disgusting. But it would have cost me more than 100,000 won.

one of the guys i worked with moved his wardrobe after living in his apartment for 5 months and found small ginger curly hairs, the last teacher before him was ginger, you only have to use you imagination to guess what part of the body they came from Confused

Costco has "real" brooms if you have access to one.
