to add to this, do you live near a construction site or a busy street? This can greatly increase the level of dust. if not, get fresh air circulating through windows if possible and avoid lighting candles or smoking inside.
i could smell the other rotting mouse (this was at another time) that was hidden under the kitchen furniture, behind the skirting. i could smell that super well. took me two weeks of tearing my hair to find it though.
this one was on the floor under my bed, directly below where i put my head. the bed has an open bottom, so nothing to prevent airflow.
We invested in a roomba-style robot that has actually been fantastic. Less for the “I am lazy and don’t want to hoover my flat” and more for its ability to reach places I can’t easily. Keeps under the sofa/bed/etc pretty tidy. Also change the A/C filter regularly never hurts.
When my hvac broke and was replaced they put in a 4 inch wide filter box, instead of the 1 inch it was before. They said it allowed 5-10x the amount of air to go through and that seems true. Airflow from the vents is way better and I’ve noticed less dust, plus the filter doesn’t have to be changed as often.
Removing and adding the sheet metal on the intake for the furnace filter isn’t easy, but in case you have the skills or know someone that does it made a huge difference. Or build one of those box fan filters, if you look up Corsi-Rosenthal box you’ll find instructions online.
MatPat, AKA GameTheory. He’s kind of an old school YouTuber that made videos theorizing video games. He’d combine real world science and game lore to try to come up with theories. Some of his theories were plausible but others were very far fetched or even downright silly, but it was all in good fun. His Five Nights At Freddy’s theories got really big and were fairly foundational in the early days.
