[biteme]

Where does all this shit come from? On top of all the shelves and furniture, I get sick of having to clean it off all the time.

[redguru]

A lot of it is human skin.

Detritus. You should stick it under a microscope and see the things living on your sloughed castoffs.

And dirt....which can come from your heating vents.......now get over here and clean my house naked....I always thought a naked house keeper would be a great thing to have

Yup. On the domestic front, most of it is dried flakes of skin and living or dead mites along with fabric fibers from carpets and clothing, followed in no particular order by all sorts of pollen and spores, soot (tiny bits of carbon), and the occasional microcrystal of wind-blown sand or lime.

The balance shifts slightly as you roam around the world but anywhere people live it's going to be mostly skin and multicelled (but still microscopic) bugs or bug parts.

Yum.
