Its always an ongoing thing. We clean as we go.

Shoes stay on our front door mat and don't come inside.

Fake feather dusters (or swiffer) to clean tricky stuff and under things.

Swifter the hard surfaces every other day.

Damp cloth to wipe down a surface that is showing dust.

Frying stuff means using hood extractor even if it is not visbly needed, because without it we would later find soot/dust all over certain areas that are colder like window sills ...the aerosolized oil/soot would travel and drop by convection near windows and baseboards.

Carpets are bad for trapping dust but also they are good at creating dust from broken carpet fibers. These get weekly vacuuming and twice yearly steam cleaning--the water coming out is always murky brown even though the carpet looks relatively clean.

I'm thinking about hiring a cleaning service. I'm lazy and some things haven't been cleaned properly in years.

buildings are designed to be closed. its a horrible design thats irreversibly invested upon.

I pay for a cleaning service to come through quarterly. My partner does most of the home maintenance stuff. I'll do dishes when I cook, but she likes to handle it when she cooks and I'm ok with that because she got mad at me enough times for asking her not to do them before she moved in and they were my dishes. Otherwise, if you see a mess, clean it up. This applies to stuff that got forgotten the night before, vomit from the kitty who sometimes pukes, etc.

The quarterly deep cleaning take care of mopping the hard floors, dusting everything, whatever else.

I run my robot vacuum every day, just because it's possible and it always manages catch some amount of dust every day.

A large part of why robot vacuums are great is because they decouple basically all effort from the task, making it easy to do it frequently and hence keep up with it. The same applies for dishwashers.

Daily sweep with a duster on the areas that get dusty. It helps me relax so it doesn't feel like a chore. I have a few microfiber hand towels I attach to a Swiffer. The floors get wiped once a day. In my mind I'm playing hockey so it's also fun to do.

I don't know if this is true or not but supposedly having a humidifier helps with the dust accumulation. It lingers longer in the air if the air is very dry. Moisture brings it down. I could be wrong and that could be a thing I made up entirely to keep a humidifier running all day,
