Dust!!!

We've just had a rewire and replaster. We've moved back in after my family helped us to get the bulk of the dust up after they finished. We're back in now and the dust just seems never ending! I have asthma and am struggling with my breathing because of it.
What's the best way to get rid of dust? We've mopped the floors, hoovered, wiped down all the surfaces (sometimes more than once) and the dust just keeps appearing!
Is there any tips or tricks or do I just carry on wiping everything I see and it'll eventually go? Thanks 😊

Hi, have you sealed the walls since plastering?

We've put the under coat on ready for painting, we haven't done the ceilings yet though, could this be making it worse?

Dust will linger for ages. Its just a case of keeping on top of it by continually hoovering/wiping

Takes forever to settle. The particles are tiny and floaty so damp cloths for wiping to trap it rather than move it about

When we replastered I was constantly cleaning dust until everything was undercoated, it definitely helped x
