IMAGINE WHIRLLED PEAS

Dust can be reduced but not eliminated. Before you treat the symptom here, consider some inevitability first. Most likely your house/listening room are not sealed. A surprising amount of dust enters through cracks in door seals and windows too. If have carpeting you have dust. If you own an indoor pet, you have more dust. If your house uses air ventilation for heating/cooling you have dust. True ionizers will let dust drop instead of fly, but ultimately it must be captured. HEPA filtering machines are really good at catching dust, but must be placed in a strategic location so that air is being filtered especially in the area to be treated. Vacuum cleaners pick up dirt as they should but often spread dust everywhere. There is no escaping it even with a HEPA filter being used on the vacuum itself. Manual dusting can be effective for the most part, but I wouldn't recommend dusting wands or much anything of the sort, UNLESS you routinely clean them as you go along the job. If you are going to vacuum a reusable HEPA filter, do it outside. I am still on the fence about antistatic cloths.
My experience and opinions on this matter come from working at a museum, along with some previous jobs in janitorial services.
