    Heavy urban traffic doesn't help - our house shakes when a big lorry passes.

    In a few years there'll be nothing left, just a big pile of dust

    Ahh, the Biro and Odd sock hypothesis.
    EU propeller heads comprehensively demolished this theory in the 90s.

    Dust comes into our universe in a "fair exchange" when one's car keys leave it.

    Very sorry to ear of your problem unfortunately door closed and dog or no dog you had it especially due to your geographical location.
    Be careful as many kind of dust it is as it can be extremely dangerous and being so small, same particles may even be alive and looking for pray.
    Don't worry jet as first you must determinate what tinge the dust may have: if is whitish like and crystalline Asbestos came to mind
    unless it is a bit pinkish like in which case is either pink Asbestos or emogubline rich like living animals pale greenish to brownish I would certainly worry about crlophyl organism like mushrooms in which case this would IMO be the worst possible as even cleaning and boiling does not get rid of spores

    Same kind of mushrooms are well known to grow inside the host and eventually cause much terrible pain
    Especially if you have children pets and beloved others I strongly urge you to dispose of the contaminated items immediately as dust can not be ever really eliminated but only moved from one location to another.

    Fell free to send me all those items and I will dispose of them free of charge
    Hope you can take a joke

    I think I may have cracked it.

    Part of the problem at least. It's my electric shaver. I go in the 'den' and shave whilst using the PC. I'll bet that adds significantly to the dust.

    Can't do much about the pooch though. I hoovered yesterday and there's dog biscuit crumbs and bits of fur everywhere again!
