There are unwanted piles of dust, pet hair and other particles known as dust bunnies inhabiting homes big and small. They hide under the couch, lurk behind the computer and even form colonies under the bed while homeowners sleep.

They also provided insights about the air quality in their homes. Check out the results below to find out how homeowners responded from your area, as well as receive important facts about you can get clean indoor air and get rid of dust bunnies.
