I’ve never dusted my walls. Am I supposed to?
You don’t get those weird dust webs?
I get spiderwebs but I clean them out before they become too big
Nah I get these weird things that look like greasy dust filaments on the walls.
Nope, never happened to me, in any of my abodes. Are you American? Maybe it’s a wood house thing?I get balls of dust and hair in areas that are hard to clean, like under low furniture, but I’ve never seen strings
one can tell the difference by the strength and weight, spider silk is strong as fuck and doesn’t really float in the air, whereas dust strings have 0 resistence and will float around on the slightest air current.
Well I mean these dust strings look nothing like something a spider would bother pulling out its ass, you know?
Neither have I. Sure I wipe the wall if I accidentally splatter coffee (like today, argh) or smash a bug on it. But mine are pretty smooth and the dust can only be a thin layer before it falls off. Thirty years later they’re still white.
It’s a good idea, yeah. I use a swiffer.
If you find them to be dusty you can do it. If you don’t have a problem, then you probably don’t need to bother
Textured walls were always a mistake.
Why is the text not horizontal?!
To reduce dust
Well, if your walls weren’t sticky from cigarette tar…
Open floor plan kitchens are a more common cause than indoor smokers anymore
It is because electric charges in the dust and surfaces attract each other. A duster works by generating static electricity and causing the dust particles to stick to the hairs.
I did a quick look for something that rejects dust with electricity and here is electrostatic dust repulsion for solar panels to reduce washing intervals https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8916732/ So maybe we could get this in our walls and make everything easier to clean.
