Is the material of which your floors are made relevant? How they're decorated or finished? Is the terrain around your house relevant? The weather? The temperature? Do you only live in this house during the winter, and so it is clean (if dusty) for the rest of the year? Or vice versa? | ||

| Galfisk (Galfisk)
New member Username: Galfisk Post Number: 3709 Registered: 9-2009 |
Can you not see the dust when it's dark? Close. I vacuum whenever I notice that my place is dusty. In the winter, when it's dark outside, the dust is harder to see, so I don't notice it as often. But I'm not wandering around in the dark, I have excellent lighting - so what's happening exactly? | ||

Is sunlight relevant? You can often see dust much better when the sun shines through the window? | ||
| Galfisk (Galfisk)
New member Username: Galfisk Post Number: 3710 Registered: 9-2009 |
Is sunlight relevant? You can often see dust much better when the sun shines through the window? Indeed! ***SPOILER*** The angle and intensity of sunlight coming in through my windows make the dust cast long shadows, which makes it much more visible than the straight-down light from the lamps in my ceiling. I vacuum whenever my place looks dirty, but in winter it takes more for me to notice, so I don't do it as often. Thanks for playing! |
