    The closet will to a point, but unless the closet is airtight, dust will seep in .

      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.

    There will be dust in there too, just not as much as leaving them out.

    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.

          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.

            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.

    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.
