dusty problem...

asparagus1968

hi all, my house is driving me mad! its such a dusty house (I think being between motorway and train track and having dog doesn't help..)
has anyone any tips / products that stop the static dust that is all over stupid back glass tv table and tv and computer please?

wouldn't mind, i'd wanted the daerned glass table thing for months, saved up and everything, flipping hate it now!

thanks in advance

sorry, nothing constructive to add except I feel your pain.
My glass TV unit attracts the dust too! :mad:

Damp cloth then polish. with a tumble dryer sheet. Helps a bit.

I feel your pain. My OH moved in, with giant shiny black tv and glass table and its right P-I-T-A!! We are surrounded by trees, but there is a road directly behind and it seems the dust migrates with ease?!

When I used to work as a cleaner one of my clients had similar glass and tv combo, and I used to make her buy Pledge disposable duster thingies - but they are a bit expensive for my liking! Will be keeping eyes on this thread for MSE style advice! I am currently using a fake e-cloth and pledge shine stuff, works for about 4 hours lol.

I feel your pain as well. I got rid of the glass unit a long time ago....5 dogs didn't mix well with it. I don't think our laminate floors help either.

Me too, although I have just got rid of the laminate flooring - too cold and I got fed up chasing the "dusty tumble-weed" that was rolling around.

I also managed to pick up a radiator brush to get rid of the dust that built up in the gaps - may be my imagination but I just felt that every time the heating comes on it would waft some of this dust up into the room.

I find this house much dustier than my last one. I use to live in what i described as a modern 2bed Wimpey rubbish,although it was probably over 25trs old when i moved out. Where i live now must be about 60/70yrs old. So i put it down to it being old and probably built differently.

I used to have an ioniser which purifies the air, and keeps the dust down. Had it for about 10 years and it did it's job very well, but if you get one be careful where you put it as the area surrounding it gets very dirty over time.

It does seem strange as my home is about 100 years old and on an unmade road but not particularly dusty except in the driest parts of summer. Probably helps that my DH is so obsessed by housework that he almost catches dust as it falls!:rotfl:

Seriously though I have heard that wiping down TV screens with a cloth dipped in fabric softener can cut down static. Same might apply to glass table. Worth a try?:)

I use the cloth + fabric conditioner as well.
Or ... wash the cloth and rinse with fc, dry and use.

I got rid of the glass tv unit even though I really liked it as I just couldn't stand how dusty it got. It only looked good for a couple of hours after I cleaned it.
