@ramsey Carpets, curtains and airing.

@ramsey I dust our house 2-3 times a week and it still ads up. It's not as bad here, though, as it was in our first apartment which was near a quarry or in Hawaii with the burnings but... it still gets annoying. Swifter dusters work great though.

@ramsey I, too, would like to know these secrets. We have two kids, two cats, and a dog, so I feel that im fighting a losing battle.

@ramsey we... just let it accumulate. 3 or 4 times a year we dust, typically when having company.

My parents used to have me dust weekly. It always felt so pointless. Letting it accumulate means you get a feeling of accomplishment when you DO do it - you can see the difference.

Though there's also feelings of self-loathing and disgust. But those are usually fleeting.

@ramsey For a small advantage against dust accumulation, we bought bookshelves with glass doors. My glassware is also in a cabinet with doors.

This helps keep most of the dust out of those areas, at least.

I treasure the dust on my cellar bottles. Embrace it sometimes? (-:

@ramsey I have central air with decent filters, which already helps a lot.

But other than that, my vacuum robot does it's rounds on a daily basis and I wipe everything weekly. That's it, that's all I do and that's good enough for me and my cat.

@ramsey less furniture and stuff hanging on the walls. Then all the dust is on the floor and a robot vacuum cleaner can clean it. Unfortunately dust aggregates even on the walls if they have texture (e.g. orange peel, wallpapers) so the battle is quite furious 🙈
