I am not sure if an exhaust fan will do the trick but a air purifier will. I would assume that an exhaust fan may be able to get rid of some of the dust, but not all of it.
There are many different types of air purifiers too!

The fan will probably help some,but if you haven't already done so,you'd need to get tough on the dust still present in the house and on furniture..regular thorough cleaning of rugs,if not replacing them for wood flooring to prevent dust collection buildup,maybe getting a cyclonic vacuum cleaner as they're better at collecting existing dust...bag up pillows and cushions in a sealed plastic bag and freeze them to kill off dust mites that cause dust allergies..good luck!

You mean that your home is dusty? Yuck! LOL Where is the exhaust fan? If it's in a window, then whatever is blowing out will be replaced by what is coming in. If you have some kind of ventilation system, the filter would normally go where the air comes in. If you have no breathing issues, ionizers will help remove some of the particles from the air...but you would have to vaccuum them up.

Moochie is so cute...who's feet are in the picture? Is that perhaps you? Moochie probably wouldn't like an ionizer. It takes all the wonderful cooking smells that he likes so much right out of the air. IOnizers can be pretty fragile...maybe you better come and get it...lol

Airborne dust is possible to be sucked out and if they are near enough the exhaust fan. But for the dust that have settled, I don't think the exhaust fan can handle such task.
