Perhaps you shouldn't blow dust off a shelf because then its air pollution, the same reason we shouldn't pump factory smoke into the air. Vacuuming up the smoke with a properly filtered vacuum cleaner should provide a net cleaner air, especially if your electrical service is provided by other than coal or fuel. Otherwise dusting with a moist or lightly oiled rag will work nicely.
The stickiness of dust is based on its contents, typically grease from a nearby kitchen or motor pool will coat surfaces and make dust stick. Dust from human skin also has an oil element.
46Errrr ‘motor pool?’ I’m scared
7Cars can swim a little bit, as a treat.
19Dust in a garage is typically laced with motor oil. Yes. And to be fair, fossil fuels in all its forms of distillation or consumption is pretty scary.

Well? Is it???
35Depends on how old you are - dust from half a century ago didn't have any microplastics in it!
43I wonder how microplastics change dust

Dust is largely made of skin cells and fibers from our clothes and furniture. Since our clothes and furniture are containing more and more plastics and synthetics, I'd wager that our dust is noticeably different now than it was 30 years ago.
18Tastes different too!
7For people like me living next to a large busy road, dust is mostly made out of micro plastics from tires :(
Well, I didn't do a compound analysis but I have to sweep my floor 3x as often as when I was in the countryside.

My dust is mostly kratom, which is very blowable.
16I have no idea what these people are talking about, all you need for everything to be dusty again is a kratom or phenibut addiction lol

15If it is something that has been left untouched for some years, then the dust is probably too thick to be simply blown away (and would probably create a bigger mess than what you started with), I imagine. Use an old wet piece of cloth.
15Or a vacuum, which imo is better for dusting than any of those purpose made cloths

My experience went the other way. Growing up in a smoking household I thought dust was sticky and stuck to things. Being an adult in a non-smoking household the dust now only happens on the top of objects...
11It also has a lot to do with humidity as well. Low humidity areas should see the this take effect in bathrooms.

Rooooomba.
11Have a robot vacuum, can confirm house is less dusty. Still baffled by the amount of dust it picks up in its little dust container. Where does it all come from??
4Your body mostly.
