Did you know the average home generates about 40 pounds of airborne dust a year? Don’t be alarmed, it’s perfectly normal. Every time you open and close your doors, walk across the floor, or even scratch an itch, you’re contributing to household dust. If you have kids and pets in the home, the amount of dust generated is even greater.
