1Living humans are a constant source of dander, on Earth and in orbit. So there is dust in ISS and there is a vaccuum cleaner. – Uwe Jul 12 '19 at 14:23

1Why was the ISS' DC vacuum cleaner replaced with an AC version? Are there “wall sockets” throughout the ISS where it's plugged in? – uhoh Jul 12 '19 at 15:36
