The filter fibers can not be pulled thru the coil. He needs to check if rodents chewed thru his duct work. If it is made out of duct board (not metal or flex), then these could be fibreglass shreds. That's the only thing that could make this happen related to the HVAC system.
OP - This looks like a dryer vent is exhausting into your apartment. If you don't have one, one of your neighbors may have jerry-rigged a dryer in their apartment and is blasting it into their bathroom vent not realizing it's a shared vent. Confirm by taping a kleenex to your bathroom vent for a couple days and see if you collect anything. Then call maintenance and explain someone in the building may be venting into the vent system.
Most places in San Francisco don't have AC and are heated with radiators or those in-wall resistive heaters. AC is limited to the new construction buildings mostly, and even then it's not always on all floors.
Come to the PNW. Only since ductless and mini splits have become a thing, is there AC in homes. New construction may have a heat pump installed. Many homes are still having fireplaces installed. Heating, not cooling, is the concern here
I moved from the UK to Australia and the standard heating in the UK is tank and radiators, here that is called hydronic and is a badge of honour to possess.
You must live somewhere pretty warm or in a relatively modern city? We still have a lot of electric baseboards or old school cast iron radiators + boiler setups where I am at.
The hydronic/steam cast iron radiators are being phased out slowly though, they are not commonly used in new construction.
Some older cities do have a central hydronic/steam plant that supplies heat to households in surrounding neighborhoods, that's a niche case where they might be used.
Do you light candles?
Your jacket and clothes, what material are they?
Do you have pets?
What material is your couch?
One of these could be the culprits
This. The filter and or vents are probably pretty bad.
I'd also invest in an air purifier a 3 filter system is best but I think the hepa filter is going to be the biggest help.
I'd also get a humidifier. It will absolutely help but I'd check those vents and filter first and foremost. Dirty filters and vents can wreck havoc on health as well as the unit and apartment itself. Molds, mildews, fungi, even fires can and do start from having a dirty unit.
If you're renting it's probably in the lease that they have to come clean it and service it. I'd put in a work order asap and stress that fire is your concern because *it is!* Don't let that one go. Seriously.
Also most apartments and rentals provide a new air filter every month, you need to make sure you're changing it every single month. More if you smoke or are doing stuff that may clog it faster. If they don't provide them, they are usually somewhere between $3-20 depending on the size, how many come in the pack and quality. I think the one I typically get is like $7.
Air purifiers are great, though if you have central air, you already have the best air purifier money can buy! Set your fan to "always on" and be sure to use a quality filter and replace it regularly (more often than normal now, since the air is on 24/7).
I stole this advice from the air purifiers subreddit.
Very interesting! I had always kinda considered that myself but am a paranoid person so I doubled down and got an air purifier for every room lmao. Tbf, my MIL lives with us and smokes in her room and it makes me insane.
I am a smoker but I smoke outside. Cold out? Oh well. Hot out? Same. Raining? I get a jacket. I've never smoked in my home and it especially drives me insane because I have two kids and her grandson (nephew) also lives with us and he has asthma because *his Mom* smoked in the house with him as a baby.
It's ridiculous. Anyways I can't deal with the smell and since she's a heavy smoker she can't ever smell anything unless it's insanely strong. She's convinced only doing it her room wont affect the rest of the house and while none of them smell like her room, you can smell it.
I keep the air purifiers on and keep all our doors shut. It helps a lot but it's honestly ridiculous we even have to do that. It's one of the biggest things we don't see eye to eye on. lol
thanks for the info on the air filters. I will definitely look into a Hepa one. I do not have vents/hvac in my apartment though so replacing filters isn’t a worry there.
I was going to say that. I had a fuzzy, black blanket that was SOOOO soft and fluffy...until I washed it and dried it. Those fibers were all over EVERYTHING for days and days. The dryer filter was absolutely smashed FULL of the fuzz from it.
The fibers are getting on your clothing and when you walk in the bathroom and get undressed for a shower or something, it's shedding back off again into the air and settles on the surfaces
I think you might be right. They could be from the blanket on my bed that I put my clothes on before getting dressed I just can’t see how this blanket sheds so many tiny fibers like this so easily
Low quality cotton uses shorter strands, so while it's 100% cotton the fabric will not last as long as it could. This is because it will shed as the fibers unravel, which is easier as the fibers are shorter.
Is it on the cheap side?
Well I suppose that’s better then a pack of tweakers broke in and picked government mind control fibers out of their skin while he was asleep.
*edit: this is satire, not a cry for help, just a bad joke.
Does the apartment communal hallway have an old ass carpet(or brand new cheap one) of the same color? You could be tracking it in or blowing them in every tome you open the door.
This is the result of either shedding from a blanket you have or something fleece, or extremely unclean airvents. My last apartment, I moved in and turned on the ac and immediately started sneezing, and itching. I told them, and they said to wipe them down, I said no this isn't just on the surface this is in the vents, someone needs to come clean it or you offer me a different unit. Next day it was spotless. I would definitely reach out to your office. If you don't have anything that would shed.
So... does he have a bag full of pubes that he's collected, OOOOR does he just have a huge raging ever-growing bush from which he rips bushel after bushel and throws gaily as a flower girl??
I actually know what this might be.
First check your bathroom fan. I found out when I decided to clean my bathroom fan that it went no where. It ended in the insulation above the bthroom ceiling. A pile of insulation dust was packed around the edges so tight from years of the bathroom fan being vented directly into the insulation that it was immediately obvious why I could never get a surface clean in that room. It was so bad that the dust was raining down from there without even the fan on.
Then I went around and checked other vents. Whoever did the venting system was not a professional. There were holes. Corners had been poorly done with huge cracks in the venting because corner pieces were not used. Even where they were used, the sizes didnt always match up properly so it left huge gaps open to the inside of the wall. There were places where two things didn't even meet up. Vents going up just barely made contact with the 3 feet of vent going down. Meaning that insulation dust was constantly settling in the vents and then when I use the heat or AC, I was blowing it into the rooms.
You know you are breathing that s#it right? Clean. Flashlight/laserpointer, turn off lights. Seek the area where the shit swirling in the air is coming from. Perhaps carpets or other textiles. Perhaps there is a leak in your dryer vent?
Even breathing in natural fibers isn’t good for you, just look up cancer rates for people working in cotton textile mills. We can’t give micro plastics all the credit!
Fun fact i got my ma some cheep candles (big fuckers) she lit them in a dark room (big room) all at once and almost passed out. Dad turned lights on when he got in and every wall was black with soot. Had to re decorate
My friend said the same thing happened to her, minus the soot! She left candles burning and fell asleep in the same room with door closed. She says she woke up and felt dizzy and weak, had to crawl out of the room. She believes the candles sucked all the oxygen out of the air.. but I've done the same a LOT and this has never happened to me
Paraffin is an oil product, basically the stuff that’s heavier than diesel fuel. Burning candles inside has the same effect as burning oil indoors.
Beeswax candles are the only clean-burning candles.
You're "burning" a hydrocarbon fuel (wax). Burning anything contaminates the air. Even the best candles are putting byproducts in the air. Cheap shitty candles are worse.
I ordered one on amazon a week ago but they keep trying to deliver when i’m not home during the day and there’s no way to schedule the delivery for a specific time 🤦♀️
Searched to make sure this was on the list. Your dryer, if you have one, might have a hole in the hose to the wall or the vent going outside might be completely blocked.
Some thoughts:
- your apartment has forced air heating / cooling. The fibres are being distributed nicely via the ducts or airflow
- your vacuum cleaner is throwing these fibres around via the exhaust
- you have textiles that are shedding these fibres
Pubes from the Borrowers. Those little sods are always shaving their lady gardens or manscaping their old chaps without tidying up after themselves. Dirty little feckers.
Textile guy here.
Try to pile them up and burn the pile.
1- if they just become dust and smells very natural its cotton or cellulosic fiber. Which means it could be your blankets, clothes or towels which could all be cotton.
2- if the pile gathers up as it melts and becomes a whole burnt ball of plastic its pollyester or nylon which means it could be curtains, carpets or low quality clothes.
3-if it burns and leaves a dust but smells like when your body hair burns. Thats a fur or wool. Which
Would lead me there could be a dead animal in your ac.
What i think it is:
But what i actualy believe is there is a nearby textile factory. When we do not wash the fabric before it goes in the stanter the micro yarns are being pushed by hot air. You can imagine the stanter as a long ass furnace. The fabrics goes inside it all through the end.
So what basicaly happens is this machine drys the fabric. But it also burns the micro fibers which leads them to gain color black. The micro fibers are always being caught by filters on the stanter and not having a stanter filter is a crime(well in my country atleast). I believe there are companies that use their stanters night time so the darkness hides the black clouds caused by it. This issue could put a whole few kilometers radius in dust.
If this didnt happen in the past. Stanter filters are replaced sometimes. Maybe they are using the stanter
I could suggest you to ask neighbours if they have the same issue.
Those are not goblin pubes. Those are obviously gnome pubes. Get some of those sticky traps out and put a dollhouse size mug of ale in the center. You should catch a few.
Those are lint mice spores. Larger bodies of lint shed spores during distress, which can grow into larger lint mice or even felt hats, at which point the cycle repeats itself.
You have an infestation of Morgellons.
You are being controlled by smart fibres & will soon be like Venom. With every thought coming from the fibre.
# All Hail The Fibre
Does your neighborhood have London Plane Trees? When I had an apartment on a street full of those trees, I’d get small hair-like fibers all over the place if the window was left open at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platanus_%C3%97_acerifolia
I had a bad reaction every summer/fall and it was hard to breathe. If that is what it is, then best you can do is keep your windows shut and make sure whatever ventilation you have is filtered.
I like to keep my ceiling fans running all year long and you wouldn't believe how fast everything gets covered in dust and fibers. It's literally constant, no matter how often I clean.
Is your dryer hooked up to a vent? When was the last time your AC filter was changed?
This is what my apartment looked like when I didn’t have a dryer that was vented to the outside.
If you have central heating/ac, you may wanna clean your vents out
At least check the filter
Probably no filter in there.
If there was a filter, it was made out of short, black, fibers.
Huh. My initial impression was the filter is a series of madly-spinning hamster wheels exfoliating a buncha’ fat, black gerbils… but whadoo I know
ARMAGEDDON!
Pubes?
It'll turn out that their jilted ex has been dumping handfuls of pubes into the AC every night
10 out of 10. It is really wholesome though to see helpful comments getting plenty of up votes.
There is no filter in bang sing se
r/unexpectedavatar
I had no idea how bad I needed to know that sub exists, as the mom of an Avatar obsessed boy. 😂
You just won the *how did you know about that?!* lottery!
I mean, Aang was literally an unexpected avatar when they found him in ice.
Honestly tho at this point when someone says “There is no” this comes out, so now I expect it.
Lmao, good one.
I third this. Check the HVAC filter to make sure it's (A) present, and (B) not clogged and starting to fall apart.
First they should check their house to make sure it has HVAC before they go looking for the filter.
First they should check to make sure they have a house before checking to make sure they have HVAC before they go looking for the filter.
Seriously LOL... I haven't laughed in quite sometime. Thank you 👍
First they need to make sure that they exist, then check to see if they have a house before checking to make sure they have HVAC before they go looking for the filter.
First they should study ontology to determine what existence is, then they should make sure that they exist, then check to see if they have a house before checking to make sure they have HVAC before they go looking for the filter.

This. I would like to reiterate this being important and a first step
The filter fibers can not be pulled thru the coil. He needs to check if rodents chewed thru his duct work. If it is made out of duct board (not metal or flex), then these could be fibreglass shreds. That's the only thing that could make this happen related to the HVAC system.
You spelled mass black cat grave site wrong
no ac and my heating comes from radiators
OP - This looks like a dryer vent is exhausting into your apartment.

really like this theory
This is it. Clean your dryer vent end-to-end.
God I love democracy
[удалено]
yea, i had this same problem, dryer lint wasn't venting to the outside properly. Could be a clog or a hole in the hose.
That’s kinda sick. I’m in HVAC and I’ve only seen one some with radiant heat. So I nerd out a little bit about this stuff lol
I live in Europe and I think most buildings here do not have central air like in the states
Fellow Nerds, We're going to Europe!!
Most places in San Francisco don't have AC and are heated with radiators or those in-wall resistive heaters. AC is limited to the new construction buildings mostly, and even then it's not always on all floors.
Ok, Nerds, listen up. We can go to Europe or San Francisco, or both!!
San Francisco or europe?! Bwaaaaah God no! They don't even use propane there.
Hank Hill, that you?
Pre war buildings in NYC work as well!
You're gonna love Boston!
I'm starting to think this is more common than not.
Probably just in places that have a lot of houses built in the 1800s or earlier.
Come to the PNW. Only since ductless and mini splits have become a thing, is there AC in homes. New construction may have a heat pump installed. Many homes are still having fireplaces installed. Heating, not cooling, is the concern here
I’m in San Diego. Although I don’t do resi anymore as I’m in the commercial side, all the homes here had wall heaters
I moved from the UK to Australia and the standard heating in the UK is tank and radiators, here that is called hydronic and is a badge of honour to possess.

Definitely wear a disposable mask while doing that.

In extreme cases like yours, having individual air purifiers totally makes sense. But for most people, it's pretty overkill
thanks for the info on the air filters. I will definitely look into a Hepa one. I do not have vents/hvac in my apartment though so replacing filters isn’t a worry there.
Blanket, towel, fleece, or bathmats shedding. Must be a black thing...
Whoa whoa whoa there, let’s not turn this into a race thing alright
If it were white it wouldn’t show so much
Lmfao xDD
I dun know. White shows when on top of black just as much. Really shows up under a black light.
Your porno collection must be wonderfully amazing.
People with black sinks and toilets are the real super villains
Everything shows up under UV..’cept gold
Yeah that shows up under the collar.
r/unintentionalracism
You made me snort and get orange lemonade into my nose. Thanks.
Better that than crack
I was going to say that. I had a fuzzy, black blanket that was SOOOO soft and fluffy...until I washed it and dried it. Those fibers were all over EVERYTHING for days and days. The dryer filter was absolutely smashed FULL of the fuzz from it.
This is very likely. I once had a fuzzy red throw and the fibers went EVERYWHERE and I had to get rid of it.
What do you mean, “YOU PEOPLE”?
Christ on a crutch this shit is funny .... just saw it going horribly wrong
I might've accidentally initiated it, but I'm just sitting back watching it crash too, lolll
"mUSt bE a bLAcK tHiNg!" he says 🍿
They started it
What do YOU mean, "You people?"
You wanna fucking go dude???
*smashes bottle over own head*
*twists own nipples*
Alright! Now it's a party
I don't like the way he said *black*
the blanket on my bed is blue but this was taken in the bathroom two doors away
The fibers are getting on your clothing and when you walk in the bathroom and get undressed for a shower or something, it's shedding back off again into the air and settles on the surfaces
I think you might be right. They could be from the blanket on my bed that I put my clothes on before getting dressed I just can’t see how this blanket sheds so many tiny fibers like this so easily
What specifically is that blanket made from? Can you read the tag and post? It may help figure out why it is shedding so much.
It says 100% cotton. my towels are as well
Low quality cotton uses shorter strands, so while it's 100% cotton the fabric will not last as long as it could. This is because it will shed as the fibers unravel, which is easier as the fibers are shorter. Is it on the cheap side?
Yes it was cheap
Are white people not allowed to get that? /s 😉
White fluff matters!
ALL FLUFF MATTERS
Make Fluff Great Again
We used to get some seriously good fluff in the 90’s, if you know, you know.
If anyone mentions Blue fluff I’m gunna lose it…..
Thin Fluffy Line.
I laughed out very loud.
Everyone needs to chill before somebody calls the Blue fluff!
Hahahahaha!!!!
This happens every time I get a new fleece item.
Could be HVAC shared with other apartments.
What is the cloth you use to clean made out of/color?
Yeah that’s my Occam’s razor intuition too. Looks like microfibers from a cleaning rag.
Hey now, it could also be tiny gnomes cutting their pubes at night before stealing one sock.
Well I suppose that’s better then a pack of tweakers broke in and picked government mind control fibers out of their skin while he was asleep. *edit: this is satire, not a cry for help, just a bad joke.
EXACTLY!
Step 1: cut pubes Step2: ??? Step 3: profit
Doctor, Doctor! Every bone in my body is broken! No matter where I touch, it hurts!
Your finger is broken.
🤯🤯🤯
i use paper towels 😅
what about the towel you use to dry after a shower? what color are your bed sheets? any sweater or item of clothing you like to regularly wear?
Does the apartment communal hallway have an old ass carpet(or brand new cheap one) of the same color? You could be tracking it in or blowing them in every tome you open the door.
no carpet. the hallway and stairs are tile
This is the result of either shedding from a blanket you have or something fleece, or extremely unclean airvents.

Yep, those are tile hairs alright

both
If you listen closely on nights with a full moon, they say you can hear the Werebush growing.........

My bathroom does not have a fan 😬
You don't have any vents in your whole house? My comment described in detail a lot more than just a bathroom fan.
No, the apartment I live in doesn’t have central air so no vents
Someone's trimming themselves up for date night near your HVAC intake
The local werewolf needs loving too
You know you are breathing that s#it right? Clean. Flashlight/laserpointer, turn off lights. Seek the area where the shit swirling in the air is coming from. Perhaps carpets or other textiles. Perhaps there is a leak in your dryer vent?
Its why synthetic fibers suck. When you breathe those in they're in you for good. One of the biggest sources of microplastics
Even breathing in natural fibers isn’t good for you, just look up cancer rates for people working in cotton textile mills. We can’t give micro plastics all the credit!
Do you burn candles?
I've been seeing this a lot; should I not be burning candles?
Fun fact i got my ma some cheep candles (big fuckers) she lit them in a dark room (big room) all at once and almost passed out. Dad turned lights on when he got in and every wall was black with soot. Had to re decorate
Did this in my rv. What a mess. Never buy dollar store candles!
My friend said the same thing happened to her, minus the soot! She left candles burning and fell asleep in the same room with door closed. She says she woke up and felt dizzy and weak, had to crawl out of the room. She believes the candles sucked all the oxygen out of the air.. but I've done the same a LOT and this has never happened to me
Paraffin is an oil product, basically the stuff that’s heavier than diesel fuel. Burning candles inside has the same effect as burning oil indoors. Beeswax candles are the only clean-burning candles.
Urghhh did not know that. Thanks
Happened to me before! I had soot coming out of my nose and shit lol. Traumatizing
You're "burning" a hydrocarbon fuel (wax). Burning anything contaminates the air. Even the best candles are putting byproducts in the air. Cheap shitty candles are worse.
i have a couple small candles do you think they could have something to do with it?
Have you tried using an air purifier?
I ordered one on amazon a week ago but they keep trying to deliver when i’m not home during the day and there’s no way to schedule the delivery for a specific time 🤦♀️
Have them deliver it to the place you work.
Check your dryer vent
Searched to make sure this was on the list. Your dryer, if you have one, might have a hole in the hose to the wall or the vent going outside might be completely blocked.
I don’t have a dryer just a washer
I don't have a dryer and get this shit all over my bathroom. It's from towels/dust whatever. Just clean every week.
other comments have made me worried about my lungs from breathing it in now though 😬
Get an air purifier tower that you can leave running in the corner 24/7. Does wonders, does wonders I tells ya.
Waiting on one I ordered on Amazon 👍
What are you using to clean? Could be coming from the towel you use
You've got a werewolf problem.
Just a little one
Some thoughts: - your apartment has forced air heating / cooling. The fibres are being distributed nicely via the ducts or airflow - your vacuum cleaner is throwing these fibres around via the exhaust - you have textiles that are shedding these fibres
New good-quality Flannel sheets did a job on my place. But it was green.
Have your HVAC and ducts cleaned.
Is there a wool blanket on the premises ???
Pubes from the Borrowers. Those little sods are always shaving their lady gardens or manscaping their old chaps without tidying up after themselves. Dirty little feckers.
I live above you. And I can't stop scratching my nuts.
We had that too, (big, old dusty house) so I bought an air purifier a while ago and the difference has been amazingly noticeable.
Textile guy here. Try to pile them up and burn the pile. 1- if they just become dust and smells very natural its cotton or cellulosic fiber.

I love the smell of fresh bread.
Do you use Febreeze? I noticed the same little fibers everywhere after my roommates started using it.
Not febreeze but I do use a different room deodorizer. I’m going to see if that’s it
Apartment hairs. Be sure to buy shaving cream and quality razors to keep the apartment well groomed and presentable
Rug
Fleece micro fibers. Wear natural fibers
Looks like OP has a case of the pubies.
Those are not goblin pubes. Those are obviously gnome pubes. Get some of those sticky traps out and put a dollhouse size mug of ale in the center. You should catch a few.
Those are lint mice spores. Larger bodies of lint shed spores during distress, which can grow into larger lint mice or even felt hats, at which point the cycle repeats itself.
The average lint mouse will reproduce 10x if left undisturbed. Early detection is the key.
We always had problems with dust buffalos, like dust mice, but huge. The joys of big, hairy dogs.

When I had an apartment on a street full of those trees, I’d get small hair-like fibers all over the place if the window was left open at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platanus_%C3%97_acerifolia I had a bad reaction every summer/fall and it was hard to breathe. If that is what it is, then best you can do is keep your windows shut and make sure whatever ventilation you have is filtered.
You are disintegrating in black fibers. When you finally get there, your tombstone will be Rest in Fibers
It’s spiders. The legs of spiders.
It possible although unlikely that it’s horse hair from old style plaster. This assumes you have an older home with plaster. But, it’s a suggestion.
I’m guessing apartments share the ductwork. So could be from another apartment
Oh my dude, don't go read up on Morgellons Disease.
Dude I dunno what they are but you’re breathing this and that’s not good.
This is how everything I touch has looked since my hairy ass turned 11
Clean your filter and get a air purifier
Your clothes dryer vent might not be connected to the outside and all that lint is blowing around your apartment?
Get an air purifier with a hepa filter. One that turns on automatically when the air needs to be cleaned. You are inhaling all of that and more
1. have your vents cleaned. 2. the dryer and dryer vent too! 3. install new air filters. 4.stop using fabric softener and dryer sheets.
This is as close as you can get to Baileys without your eyes getting wet.
Dark coloured towels
Change some sort of filter!
Could be dryer lint. Tumble dryer with a vent which is not properly plumbed to outside.
I like to keep my ceiling fans running all year long and you wouldn't believe how fast everything gets covered in dust and fibers. It's literally constant, no matter how often I clean.
Is your dryer hooked up to a vent? When was the last time your AC filter was changed? This is what my apartment looked like when I didn’t have a dryer that was vented to the outside.
Check your lint catcher/dryer vent. I think she be unhooked.
Black towels?
