The living room is a central gathering space, which means it's also a central collection point for dust and pet hair. Upholstered furniture acts like a magnet for fur, while electronics generate static that attracts airborne particles. Floors, whether hard surfaces or carpet, accumulate traffic-borne dirt, and even seemingly clean surfaces like baseboards and ceiling fan blades gather a fine layer of dust that becomes visible over time.
