☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのDust in Japanese homes!!!

Anyone else have this problem? I swear there's like 5 times as much dust in this country as America, or at least in my house!! I live in an older style Japanese apartment, and I literally need to dust every other day or so to keep it clean. I can't open the windows in wintertime...it's too cold here.

I know that having no central ventilation is partially the culprit, but come on!! LOL

I've come to the conclusion it's also staining some of my shirts...the inside of the collar. It's like a brown line where the shirt rests on the hanger!! It's driving me crazy, haha!!

I so get you! Same problem with dust! My husbands family's house is an old Japanese styled house, too. Every time we vist I can't breath, and I use up all their tissue!笑！ I also think it may be because of the tatami in older houses... Our apt. now has it, too ...and we have to clean everyday because of it! arg!

No one believed me when I said it, but dust accumulates a lot in JPN!

...it's not as much the dust, but the fact that things in it bite!!!

especially in spring when desert dust flies over from China. It's called Yellow Sand. It even turns the sky yellow. Apart from that, Japan Is dusty i've heard from a foreigner, which drove her crazy too.

We have an old house and the first night I slept in it was the worst! The very next day we bought an air purifier (an expensive one to boot). I dust every other day and vacuum right afterwards. It's a lot of work, but if you have a small apartment it's not so bad! My home is like two stories tall and huge, so it gets to be a lot of work.

In American homes, where I'm from, the central heat and air often sucks a lot of dust into the filter, usually located near the hot water heater. That may be one reason the houses aren't AS dusty as Japanese homes.

My daughter is allergic to dust. Her body gets ichy sometimes becausu og it. I'd like to get rid of dust but I don't know what to do. Vacuming makes rooms more dusty...winter, especially,house getting more dusty becaus of more cloth around us than summer.

If anyone knows some good ideas about getting rid of dust, tell me, please.

My friend is going through the same thing with his daughter! Do you have an old house? All I know is to buy an air purifier and clean things with a wet cloth.

I don't think our apartment is that old. But we've got tatami room,too.
Our vacum cleaner is definately old, so when I use it the air gets dusty a lot. We don't have air purifier...Try clean the rooms with air freshner.
Thanks.

I agree.
My balcony in Australia never got dusty. You didn't have to clean the seats before you sat down, but one in Japan is always dirty even though I wipe it down often.
