Hello,
I am from Europe but I have lived in NYC for short periods, usually subleting people's apartments. I always find that the dust and fluff that collects around the apartment (eg. under tables and behind furniture) has a very red color. There was nothing in the apartments which could account for the red fluff, no red furniture or red blankets or red coats, and in fact even the dust which collects on the bathtub seems to be tinted red. And the apartments were in very different parts of Manhattan so it wasn't a local phenomenon. Has anyone else noticed this, and does anybody have any ideas why it's like that? I have traveled around many parts of the world but have never seen red dust anywhere else!!
Thanks,
Susan

I have no idea what you are talking about, I have been living here for 13 months and before that on and off for 10 months and I can't believe how little dust there is plus I still haven't seen any insects. Coming from Australia I find it really strange not to see lots of spiders, cockroaches, flies, native birds etc and lots of red dust. The dust here is minimal and has no colour, red dust is not something I've seen in Manhattan, red dust is normal in Australia because a lot of our land is red.

this is happening to me in paris, france too! the exact same phenomenon - red, sort of fluffy dust. tons of it! and its happened in two different apartments - the only similarity i can find that might explain it is that both flats had exposed wooden beams in the ceilings. do you have this too?
