That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Plus opening and closing the closet will let dust in, so the more it is accessed the more dust will get in.
But still far less than outside the closet.
It gets there too, but not as much. The dust comes from outside the closet, not inside.
There's dust in closets, too. I just bought a 3-pack of zippable plastic dust covers for all the hanging clothes I don't wear often because they were getting dusty AF.
Wait, what is dust doing to my precious clothing? Should I be alarmed? I'm going to be until you tell me otherwise.
Making them dusty.
Memento mori.
Dust is primarily dead skin. So wherever you go. Dust goes there too
The dust is coming from inside the house!
And it can fairly easily carry on the air. So if air flow can get there, so can dust.
PSA: Change your HVAC's air filter if you haven't yet this quarter.
Is the recommendation really quarterly? I've usually done twice a year but might have to step out up.
I have heard both quarterly and twice a year. There really is a ton of 'it depends'. Mostly, does it look caked on after a quarter? If not, twice a year is fine. Some people's places are really dusty.
Change it daily! BE A CONSUMER!!! SPEND YOUR MONEY PEASANT!!!
.....am I doing it? Am I being a rich person now?
Depends on the thickness. The thin ones need to be changed more than the thick ones.
Inside my body must be very dusty, because I'm dead inside.
But are you skin inside?
My gym coach tells me I'm skinny on the inside.
There will be dust in there too, just not as much as leaving them out.
If you're worried about dust just get some of that plastic they throw on at the dry cleaners. Or a garment bag.
your skin will accumulate and form all that gray dust on surfaces, combined with dust mites, or other allergen materials.
