since the air gets very dry because of central heating, i have got a
humidifier, the kind you put water in and it throws out a fine cold mist
into the air.

what it is doing is putting a fine white dust on everything especially
the
television which normally attracts a lot of dust anyway (due to static i
guess).

since we are in a hard water area (north london u.k.) would that be as
somebody has suggested the chalk in the water or is it something else?
it
seems to like settling on the computer also in the cd tray etc, could
this
be harmful? thanks for any advice




Just a thought but maybe a water softener would solve your problem. If you
have that many minerals in your water it may be worth the cost.......Ross

Water softeners don't remove minerals. They replace calcium and magnesium
salts with sodium salts which do not "harden" water. With softened water,
the atomizing humidifier would create salty dust instead of chalky
