Abstract
Indoor air is nowadays a very important issue. Dust has an essential effect on it. The aim of this study was to find out if surface materials differ from each other in becoming ‘dusty’. The research material consisted of eleven different surface materials: uncoated linoleum, linoleum with acrylic treatment, even homogeneous PVC, cork tile with PVC‐coating, plastic covering with polyurethane coating, ceramic tiles, laminate, varnished wood, glass, steel and painted hard‐wood plate. The specimens were put in five different places. They formed two groups. One group was dusted with a dry microfibre cloth, the other group with a slightly damp viscose cloth. The amount of dust on the surface was measured once a week. The test period was six weeks. The results showed that uncoated linoleum collects more dust than other materials, ft is evident that dry cleaning methods are no worse than damp ones if efficient tools are used.
