Your Mac likely needs a good shower! They commonly like one at least every few days, but in the Summer, sometimes several times during any given day.

If you live in Northern Europe or American and your home is heated by forced air, assure that your home is at least at 45% Relative Humidity! If you do not have a furnace mounted Humidifier., please consisted adding one or using a potable one. Remember to change your furnace filters regularly.

That 'dander' is a heavy powder they natural produce to assure that their wing feathers slide smoothly over each other assure less effort during flight. If your Mac is not a flyer, they still produce the powder. Showers keep it under control!
