...I think this is the first time my room (which I shared growing up with my younger brother) has actually had a proper thorough clean, and as you can imagine, I have hoovered up a hell of a lot of dust.

Perhaps. I didn't mean it had gone entirely undusted, just that there were certain places that had done, e.g. under the beds - awkward places you'd probably clean once a year.

There are warnings about skin conditions in the instructions. I do wonder also whether diet and vitamins might have an effect on ear wax build up. When I had my ears cleaned out a couple of years ago, the doctor who did the micro suction mentioned a lot of dead skin. Perhaps diets which improve skin condition will also reduce problems of dead skin in the ears, and hence reduce ear wax build up.
