Dust

[Highgturn]

Considering how tightly constructed Excel's are, does anybody besides me wonder where all the dust comes from inside? I have always blamed the clothes dryer. Those of you with no dryer, are you experiencing a lot of dust inside?

Bob,

Are you cleaning house AGAIN? Ha.

We've get alot of dust too with no dryer. But we really don't get too concerned as our weekly cleaning person will get it!

We have no dryer (yet!) but we too have dust issues.

But we attibuted them to spending time in the desert in November, and all the site construction where we are presently staying (plus the RGV winds!)

I can tell by looking at my kitchen floor right now, that we are tracking in a lot of dust from outside.

Bob,
We don't have a dryer but my wife fights dust daily. My opinion is that no RV can be built that tight that it will keep dust out. I have been underneath mine (please don't call me Rockin' ) and have sealed up the few holes that I could find, but I think with the slides and all there are just too many places where dirt can find its way in.

Just this week Miss Jo asked me to dust the tops of the trim on the slides. (She is vertically challenged) I was surprised at how much dust there was up there as we have an air cleaner running 24/7 inside the coach. Wonder how much there would have been if we didn't have the air cleaner? Oh well, guess we ought to wipe up there a little more often.

Did your sticks and bricks house stay dust free. Our house in MT is a very tight house and is easy to heat and cool but we still get dust in it. There is just now way to keep from it. Every time you go outside and come back in you pick up dust. If you open the door and there is any breeze at all you get dust. If you open a window for air circulation you get dust (screens stop bugs not dust particles). It is just a fact of life dust will always be around.

I guess one way to eliminate some of it is after you have been outside take all of your clothes and shoes off and leave them outside before entering. Then when going back out go out naked and outside put your clothes back out there.

Gee thanks Butch......I'll take that under advisement

Um, I hate to tell you this, but dust in homes, offices, and other human environments is mainly generated by humans from their skin cells that slough off:
An average skin flake has an equivalent diameter of 14µm. It is estimated that the entire outer layer of skin is shed every day or two at a rate of 7 million skin flakes per minute. Tests of indoor environmental dust in homes and offices have shown it to be primarily (70-90%) composed of skin flakes.
I don't know how old your unit is, but new carpeting contributes quite a lot, the only cure being time and quite a lot of vacuuming!
