The static-charge explanation

As a blade slices through the air it builds a small static charge, which attracts fine airborne dust to the leading edge and the top surface — the part you never see from the floor.

Add humidity, red dust and the build-up season, and that fine film turns into a sticky grime that's much harder to wipe off than ordinary household dust.
