Or ways to remove that accumulation fast?

Non-vacuum cleaner tips would be more actionable for me currently, but please do share your ways.

    If we’re strictly talking dust accumulation, there’s a few things you can do to reduce this.

    • Make sure to change the filter in your HVAC system and intake vents every few months with a high quality filter. The better the filter, the more you need to change it.
    • You can also add an air filter to individual rooms. I added them to all our bedrooms and it helps a ton with keeping dust down.

    Aside from that, you’ll still need to dust every so often and how often will depend on how fast it gets dirty again and how deep you want to clean. I use a vacuum and damp rag to dust shelves and such every month and I dust other things like blinds and fan blades and pull out furniture and appliances once a year. Every few years we’ll need to remove something that usually never moves and we’ll clean up the dust from that. I will say it’s much easier to clean stuff regularly when you don’t have lots of things laying around or taking up space. Keeping literal objects tidy makes it less of a chore. It’s a lot easier to just wipe a table than to wipe a table and all the knick knacks.
