Dusty home

So the house I live in is rather dusty. I try to keep it under control but we are talking about a thin layer starts to build up within a few hours. I think it is the air con pulling dust from the roof but the landlord won't fix it. How concerned should I be about my rats? I keep their area as clean as I can and they are not in the direct line of the air duct so the dust is never shot straight towards their cage. They have one of the least dusty spots in the house.

Dust (as it is dusty) can cause respiratory irritation. I'm not sure how you can fix it though...
Me either =( Makes me feel bad because I want to give them perfect lives.

Thinking I shouldn't let them out to play in my room due to the dust under the bed etc.
You could try using an air purifier?

Don't feel bad! Even owners that have tons of toys for their rats are nowhere near a perfect owner!

I think I might look into one of those. It wouldn't do me any harm either to have less dust.
