Dust bunnies (dustbunnies) are small clumps of dust that form under furniture and in corners that are not cleaned regularly. They are made of hair, lint, dead skin, dust, and sometimes light rubbish and debris, and are held together by static electricity and felt-like entanglement. In some regions of Britain, dust bunnies are sometimes called beggar's velvet.

The synonym slut's wool is an old British term They can actually be harmful when they house dust mites or other parasites. A dustbunny cleaner has been invented. It consists of a robotic ball with an electrostatic sleeve that rolls about under furniture collecting dustbunnies and other material.

Dust bunnies are harmful to electronics, as they can seriously obstruct air flow through heat sinks, severely raising temperatures and shortening the life of electronic components.
