I've never dusted my walls. Am I supposed to?

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

You don't get those weird dust webs?

[-] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 1 day ago

I get spiderwebs but I clean them out before they become too big

[-] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Nah I get these weird things that look like greasy dust filaments on the walls.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 day ago

Nope, never happened to me, in any of my abodes. Are you American? Maybe it's a wood house thing?I get balls of dust and hair in areas that are hard to clean, like under low furniture, but I've never seen strings

[-] percent@infosec.pub 1 points 12 hours ago

American here. I get them in my brick house.

one can tell the difference by the strength and weight, spider silk is strong as fuck and doesn't really float in the air, whereas dust strings have 0 resistence and will float around on the slightest air current.

Well I mean these dust strings look nothing like something a spider would bother pulling out its ass, you know?

Neither have I. Sure I wipe the wall if I accidentally splatter coffee (like today, argh) or smash a bug on it. But mine are pretty smooth and the dust can only be a thin layer before it falls off. Thirty years later they're still white.

It's a good idea, yeah. I use a swiffer.

If you find them to be dusty you can do it. If you don't have a problem, then you probably don't need to bother
