I got new cabs and granite counter top a few weeks ago and have dust
falling into my drawers directly underneath.

Anyone know what I can do to prevent this. I wiped under as best I
could but it seems not to have helped much.

Should this be happening? Seems like some sloppiness in my opinion, or
is this common?

Take an air hose and blow it out.

A small vacuum would do the rest.

I had the same kind of problem.

Open the cabinets and remove the drawers. You will likely
find a series of little "ledges" inside up near the top of the
cabinets. Construction and/or demolition debris has probably
accumulated on those little ledges and is slowing falling down.
Clean them up and the problem should cease.

Yes, it's sloppiness and yes, it's common.

I cannot imagine the new countertop is disintegrating and
creating the dust; this is just debris that needs a one-time
cleanup.

I think I would vacuum, not wipe. Might effect any wood finishes,
with my luck.
