Hello optics enthusiasts,

I am a grad student working in a physical chemistry group. I am in charge of the maintenance of the optical lab space. I have specific instructions regarding the maintenance of our optical systems, but I am looking for advice concerning the maintenance of the lab space.

The lab is fairly dusty and I would like it to not be the case for obvious reasons. What can you recommend to reduce dust? Do you have any resources you'd recommend to help me out?

All of our optics work deals with femtosecond lasers systems. Currently, other than a weekly vacuuming and sticky mats at the entrance, nothing is being done to reduce dust.
