Lizbud - My house gets dusty so quickly. I can dust one day and there will be a fine white powder I can see on the darker furniture in just a couple of days. Does this mean I should have my heat/air ducts cleaned? How do they do it?

Medusa - if you figure it out please let me know. I try to vacuum with my Dyson every 2-3 days and I've found the best thing for the hardwood floor is the floor attachment. It even does a good job under the sofa. I also have the problem of having a couple of kitty droolers who leave drool drops on the hardwood. I have to constantly spot clean those and I try not to think about all the spots I can't see in the carpeted areas.

If I had my choice I would just put big stone or tile throughout my house. It cleans great and can take moisture like kitty drool plus I could wet mop it regularly.
