Why is there so many dust in my wooden office desk?

I'm so frustrated by so many dusts on my office desk where my Desktop PC resides. It's made of wood. Especially in the summer, you can see so many.

Even if its not in the summer (winter) i can still see dusts hanging onto the border/edge of the office desk, particularly in the back.

Additionally, there is so many dusts appearing on my monitor and on my PC equipments (Keyboards, mouse etc...)

How can i get rid of them!!??

I tried wiping them away but a few days time it comes back.

Funny thing is that there is no dusts at all in my work's office desk. Why is that? It only appears som much in my house. Its not like i have my windows open all the time.

So frustrated!

Help & Advice appreciated...

Thanks in advance

    Turn off and unplug your laptop and then wait a minute or so for it to cool off. Note that cleaning a laptop screen while the system is on, could damage the laptop.

    To clean the laptop screen, it might be sufficient to gently wipe it with a damp lint free cloth such as an old cotton t-shirt or better yet a micro fiber wipe. Using a paper towel instead might result in scratches and leave paper lint on the screen. Make sure to wring out all excess moisture when wiping.

    Use: alcohol free cleaner

    If the screen is still dirty, consult your manufacturer for the best type of cleaning product to use with your laptop. Do not use alcohol or ammonia (such as Windex) based cleaners unless specifically recommended by your manufacturer. Note that some designated screen cleaners are alcohol based and may end up damaging your screen. For instance, matte and glossy screens have different characteristics, and what is safe for one type might not be safe for another.

    Once you have found the right cleaner, spray some on the cleaning cloth and then gently wipe the screen. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen.

    To clean the laptop keyboard, start by wiping it with a damp cloth. Do not use any screen or household cleaners on the keyboard. Those cleaners contain solvents that may end up removing the paint such as characters on your keys!

    When you are wiping the keyboard, it's okay to press down a bit, or gently scrub a small area to remove any sticky doughnut residue you may have gotten on it. Don't make big swipes, however, or you risk having some keys come off.

    Remove any crumbs or debris using a toothbrush or compressed air, and then wipe the keyboard with a damp cloth again.

    If there was a major spill on the keyboard, the above steps will not be sufficient to get the laptop working properly again. Consult the manual whether the keys can be removed for cleaning and follow the instructions. Professional help be might required to get such an issue resolved.

    Finally, wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry cloth and/or leave the laptop open for a little while. It's not a good idea to close the lid while some moisture remains.

    For the keyboard:

    Your office has a cleaner who removes dust daily. Try doing the same.

    Most of that dust is dead skin cells.
