I believe it is an old special effects standby: Fuller's Earth

I've always thought they just let the dust naturally accumulate. My theory was confirmed when ToT opened and all the "cobwebs" were just strings and I actually, over time, got to see the dust build and build until they are what we see today.

I want to know how they get that musty smell through-out the whole ride. Definitely a very distinct smell.
It's real dust. Custodial is specifically instructed not to dist in there. Blow on something next time you go in and dust will fly everywhere.
It's easy. Just stop cleaning your house!
Even on day 1, the ride had the smell.It's easy. Just stop cleaning your house!
I believe the Fuller's Earth has that odor.

Took exaclty what I wanted to say. Disney has signs to those who work the graveyard shift to be instructed not to dust the cobwebs for the version at WDW. I don't know if it applies here though.
Actually Disney cleans the Haunted Mansion for sanitary reasons, the dust isn't real, it's a powder of some kind. That Fuller's Earth looks correct.
I thought I read somewhere that the AC units keep things a little too clean in the HM so CMs will take leafblower-type machines and spray the Fuller's Earth and cobweb-making stuff throughout the attraction.
I believe I read that in David Koenig's MouseTales or MouseTales 2.
You could always use dark gray spray paint and spray into a fan and let whatever you want to get dusty just get hit by the spray.
i've touched the bookshelves and such in the ToT waiting room / library.. contrary to how it looks it is dust free! ill go with everyone else with the Fuller's Earth
pretty sure real accumulated dust will be a health concern/unsanitary..
-m.i.a.
That's grim.
