how is this achievable? my dorm room has plenty of dust floating around, it makes it harder to breath when I wake up in the morning and dust particles go in my eyes, it strings my eyes constantly. is there a way to minimize floating dust particles? thanks
 
get an air filter/purifer but no do NOT get the sharper image one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are expensive and don't work for shiznit! nothign close to real purifers.

"Do not buy a Sharper Image Ionic Breeze.

Consumers Reports just did a test on air cleaners and dissed this big time.

Here is their top 5 (cost/filter):

Friedrich C-90A $500/$72
Kenmore 83202 83200, Whirlpool AP51030HO $350/$220
Whirlpool AP45030HO $270/$130
Bionaire BAP-1300 Holmes HAP675RC $225/$132
Honeywell Enviracare 50250 $180/$156 "
 
Small, cheap 99% HEPA filters work quite well for just removing dust, but they can get expensive with filter changes every 6 months or so...
 
Wouldn't opening the window just let more dust come in?

Just vacuum every day. Air purifiers don't get rid of the dust, they are not vacuum cleaners.
 
Uh, people... Unless you've got a Dyson vacuum cleaner, or at least one of the newer ones with HEPA bags.......

well, just remember to vacuum and then dust.
 
I dont know about the rest of the suggestions, but I put a humidifier in my PC room and it did wonders🙂

I thought it was the other way around, so you could vaccum up the dust after it had settled.

Heh.

If you have any sort of normal-ish vacuum....

Get some good lighting going on(you know, like when sun is shining through a window and you can really see all the dust), and turn your vacuum on.

You'll probably be horrified. It'll be like shaking a blanket out. Only worse.

i was thinking about that. since dusts are particulates, it'll attract water molecules and get heavy and sink to the bottom right? and then I can vacuum it up maybe? can anyone confirm if this will work?
 
Pain all the walls and floors in your home black. The amount of dust you'll see will drive you insane.

It will help..

A small HEPA filter with ionizer would help more, though.
