Ditto here - new house in Gilchrist; now16 mos old. During design, we decided to go with laminate floors in most of the home. Aftermarket, and decided on brazilian cherry like (darker red/brown). We had the new carpeting removed and they installed the lam days after moving in.

Turned out very nice BUT noticed very soon the light dustlike appearance after a day or so. Especially when the sun is streaming thru the front and walking toward it...yikes. Our house was the last built in this whole area, rest of homes were 1 year built after ours was done. Neighbors were so glad after ours was done to get rid of the sand/lot. After a while we commiserated with the neighs, and about 5 nearby ones have the same issue - darker wood floors and dust.

We got nice new swiffers etc etc. The AC syst et al works perfectly with new filters... But enough was enough. We decided to arrange for a housekeeper. She comes every 2 weeks for a thorough inside cleaning. Our rational was (my better 1/2 came up with this one...) my responsibility is outside and I have lawn cut/fert etc...so.... Life's too short, and she's right (of course).

So every 2 weeks the dust is gone (or moved) from surfaces etc, esp a nice clean floor. 'course that doesn't last long, we still need to swiff now and then - but at least the big stuff is nicely done.

Per the other poster re the 'dust to dust' matter - if that was the case...I'm NOT losing any weight.
