I live with two dogs, two cats, a big wild field next to me, a railroad track about 100 feet from my house, and the truck route through town on the other side of that. I got a REAL dust problem. I use a piece of cheap flimsy Pelion type material to place on the back of my little fan that catches o good amount of dust. I hand wash and dry them, and reuse them about three times. I just cut it in the shape of the fan back. When I am cutting fabric, I turn the fan away from me to pull the lint away from me. I still have to dust, but it does cut down on it.
