When the sun shines in my window I can see dust particles everywhere. Also after I dust everything is dusty again the next day.

Anyone have any suggestions to get rid of the dust?

Wipe the floors and tops with a wet cloth.
Keep cloth and fabrics covered, if possible.
Put on clothing slowly, you'd be surprised how much dust flies of clothes when you put them on quickly. Don't throw bedclothes about or chuck things on the floor.

nobbyken: Option 2, get married.

Love it! Although nobbyken's option 2 is a valid option, it is not highly recommended for the purpose you seek.

In theory, dust is 80-85% dead skin cells. The other 15-20% being actual dirt and lint etc. This being the Hermit Kingdom, ask yourself, if you dust one day and the same amount of dust is present 24 hours later, WTF?

It might the population of 44 million people crammed into an area the size of Rhode Island. Maybe! I may also be the 90 megatons of polution migrating east from the dragon's liar each year. Possibly? How about the combination of both? Nobody is dirty enough to produce the results the OP has defined in starting this thread.

if 1 person sheds day 1 gram of dead skin every day, 44,000,000 x 1g = 44 THOUSAND TONS of dust are produced every single day. Think about that. An increadible amount of dust.

I bought a HEPA filter air cleaner. Hauzen brand. It cost 400,000+ won but man it sure helped during the sandstorms and bad air days this last winter, takes all the dust out of the air. I used to see the particles floating in the sunrays but since getting this machine and running it all the time (is energy efficient) i see nothing in the air and can feel the difference with every deep breath. I take out the HEPA filter once a week and shake it outside, tapping it vigorously, and tons of stuff float away. There's also a charcoal filter in the same unit, to get smells and chemicals. It really is marvellous. I used to have to dust the bookcases and computer monitor every few days or week. Nowadays, no film of dust at all. It's like the dust has all disappeared.

Dude, that dust is always there. The reason you get more of it is because of the concentration in a small area.

I found furniture polish in a local shop. Now only need to dust once a week. (Cool as it is the thing I hate the most).

John_ESL_White: Its a reference to vacuum cleaners as sex devices. Lost on anyone born in the late 80s or 90s, I guess.
I believe moosehead is a female. I guess the vacuum reference still applies.

I thought moosehead was a male. This drives me nuts. I look at the avatar (if applicable)to determine if a poster is male or female if the name is neutral. Some males use feminine avatars and vise-versa.

not try to be a jerk about this, but most dust is NOT dead skin cells

maybe some places it is, but certainly nowhere near China

China might be the exception. Refering to almost every other country in the world that does not have a population of 1.3 BILLION people and enough open pit coal mines to coat half the planet with yellow dust, 80-85% is dead skin cells.
