Most homes have dust, even if you can’t see it. Dust is made up of tiny particles that come from various sources, both inside and outside the home. It can be a combination of skin cells, pet dander, pollen, fabric fibers, and dirt.
All these particles are small enough to float in the air and eventually land on surfaces throughout your house.
Household dust is made up of many things, including bits of cloth fibers, pet dander, human skin cells, and dirt tracked in from outside. It can accumulate quickly, especially if you have pets or live in a dusty environment. Regular cleaning and vacuuming can help to control the amount of dust in your home.
-How Does Dust Accumulate
Dust accumulation is a result of many things, but most commonly it is the result of things like dead skin cells, fabric fibers, pet dander, and even dirt and pollen particles. All of these things can become airborne and eventually settle on surfaces in your home. For example, when you vacuum your floors, the brush attachment can loosen fibers from your carpet which then get sent into the air and eventually settle on other surfaces in your home.
Other common sources of dust are open windows (which let in pollen and dirt), fireplaces (which can send soot into the air), and even something as simple as walking across a dusty floor (which kicks up tiny particles).

Conclusion
Most people think that dust just appears out of nowhere, but it actually comes from a variety of sources. Dust can come from things like human skin cells, pet hair, clothing fibers, and even outdoor pollutants like car exhaust or pollen. Over time, these particles build up and create the dusty layer that we see on surfaces around our homes.
There are a few ways to reduce the amount of dust in your home. One is to vacuum regularly with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner. Another is to use microfiber cloths when cleaning surfaces; these trap more dust than traditional cleaning methods.
Finally, you can try using an air purifier to remove some of the airborne particles that contribute to dust accumulation.
