There's dust.

Everywhere.

I have at least two bunnies, one on the lower floor, one on the upper.

Maid comes, there's still dust after it goes away and bunnies pop out during the night.

Those adorable - but filthy - Dust Bunnies were at it again! Maids didn’t have the heart to bust the dust completely. We told them it was ok to do so as no real bunnies are being harmed - just dust ones - and now they should be busting the dust entirely.

Fixed in Patch 1.82.99/1.50

I'm attaching some screenshots.
Sometimes, the maid comes, says he's done before cleaning any dust, leaves.
On other days, it wipes only one patch of dust from one floor, but the whole dust (living room, kitchen, bathroom etc) disappears, except for the upper/lower floor (depending on which floor was the maid located). It says done, goes away.
On others, it wipes but the dust won't go away, it forms bunnies, says it's done, bye-bye.

What happens when the bug occurs? The cleainging service will ignore the dusty floor and just remove the... dust piles(?)
What do you expect to see? The cleaining service will clean every dusty floor on every level of the house

@GER_Yeetus Bit unsure if you need a vacuum cleaner at all but do you have one ?

Merged with another thread on complaints of the maid not cleaning dust

@crinrict what do you mean with "Do you have one"? My sim has one in his inventory but I don't have access to the cleaning personal's inventory. How should I give it to them?

@GER_Yeetus Just put it out somewhere on the lot. I haven't personally tried with a maid

I just watched my sim's maid walk in, take out the trash, and leave. His house is filled with dust, he doesn't own a vacuum though. I figured I could just hire a maid because he doesn't have time to clean up after himself.

I got this issue after they fix the bust the dust kit autonomy. The maid always leave the lot eventhough they haven't clean the dust.

I am having the exact same problem. Both the maid and Bonehilda simply ignore the dust on the floor. They don't even use the vacuum cleaners available in the house.

I get that in any neighborhood, whatever the lot traits. I've never seen the maid clean the dust. Ever.
Are EA sure they put that in there ? Maybe they just forgot. 🤔

@crinrict I've put a vacuum in the house readily available for the maid and I have one in sim inventory- no change.
