Is there a dust-free brand of kleenex?
Tissues are a seriously major source of dust in my apartment. We use Scott's tissues. Is there a dust-free brand?!?

3. Yes
Kimberly Clark does make some lint free tissues, but they are kind of rough on the nose and if you use them a lot they will rub your nose raw in no time. They are called Kim-wipes.

4. I use those in an optics lab
Yeah, they're take your skin off.

I guess I am resigned to lots of dusting :(

6. About 75% of dust in homes is actually dead skin cells.
Especially in the bedroom.

8. Not in my apartment...
I swear, the quantity of tissues my wife goes through has always astounded me. The bathroom is constantly coated in white dust, thickest near the tissue box...

7. Bounty.
I use paper towels - the fibers of Kleenex irritate my allergies.
