Where does all the dust come from? There are 2 adults, 2 kids and 1 cat. I could dust every day and it wouldn't be enough - I can dust in the morning and there will be a fine layer by bedtime 
Obviously the cat is a problem as he's currently shedding his winter coat but this was a problem before we even had him. I've done damp dusting for the last few months and it's really helped, but is there any other way to cut down on dust? If you don't dust/Hoover under or behind furniture for a couple of weeks it's awful 
We just painted our kitchen last week which involved hauling everything on the counters out and giving the walls and behind appliances a good clean and it was grim. (It's a rental, with original 1970s kitchen and some of the grime must be 40 years old ) The top of the door was covered in a kind of sticky dust (I'd been dusting it but hadn't touched it so hadn't noticed), as was a lot of the big stuff that we never move. Possibly a mix of dust and moisture, as there's no extractor fan in the kitchen. We've cleaned it with hot soapy water but everything still feels sticky to the touch. What's the best cleaning stuff to get rid of the sticky bits and how do I stop it happening? I've lived in plenty of rentals before but I've never had this problem before
Thanks for any advice, this house is making me a slattern!
