What is the difference between "Fluff" and "Dust"?

There is a very annoying advert on UK telly which has all these school children asking the most annoyingly odd questions... one that has really annoyed me is "what is the difference between fluff and dust?"

Can anyone answer this for me? I'm slightly intrigued to find out the answer!

I'm off to Google for my answer! !

As a wild guess I'd say size? Do report back your findings - you've got me curious now I know the ad you mean.

Fluff I would *think* is fur
dust..........well you know what that is *dirt,hair*
Yes, report your findings PLEASE!!

The answer I got: fluff lives in blokes belly buttons and dusts gathers on the top of your pc.

Great explanation!!!!!!!!

Best explaination so far: Fluff is fibrous and made up of materials such as cotton or polyester for example, whereas dust is generally dead skins cells and other particulate matter floating around
