Have these separate bunches off fluffy collections that gather around all the skirting boards in bathroom and only on one skirting board in bedroom. Nowhere else. Hoover them up now and then and they come back. Just wondering if there is explanation of them.

    Have you got exceptionally fluffy towels?

    That's a thought. I don't think so. But I do hang one above that radiator. You might have answered my queries straight away.

    An extractor fan? Normally this sort of fluff builds up inside and can be blown back by a strong wind.

    When was the last time you cleaned your radiator out? That looks very much like radiator fluff, especially if you dry towels over/near it! Have a peer down the gaps in the radiator. You can buy radiator brushes on amazon, its one of those cleaning jobs that is disgusting but extremely satisfying.

    "Dust Bunnies" - Fairly harmless, and they don't normally wander far in search of food.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    I have one, the brush we have is also long enough to reach the high bits of our ceilings making dusting /getting the cobwebs down much easier!

    Dust bunnies @freebear.  That's it. The pictures on Google of 'dust bunnies ' are what I've got. Found same clumps under kitchen table too. It was the clumping that I couldn't understand They apparently clump together because of static electricity.

    Don't believe everything you read on the internet. The clumping is part of their mating ritual, and if left alone, they will multiply.
