Garage keeps getting dusty

How can I keep my garage from getting dusty? The doors and walls look fine at a glance, but I’m wondering if air or dirt is getting in somewhere obvious that I’m missing.

"I would firstly check the seals on the doors and window (drinks and cracks), especially if you have a large garage door. They may need replacing. A good test is a night, turn the lights on and look around your garage for gaps.
Or if your garage floor is dirty or not sealed that could cause it. There could also be gaps around any pipe work or services that need to be blocked."

"Good day, I am sure there should be from the small gaps on and around the door. Dust can gat through very small gaps. If the garage is occasionally opened it can be that short space of time."
