How often do you clean your home? Are there any techniques you use to reduce dust accumulation? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Or ways to remove that accumulation fast?

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

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.

the problem I have worth my robo vacuum is hair, I live with a long haired human and a long haired cat, so the vacuum needs constant maintenance. I normally resort to a broom...

I have to occasionally remove hair from my robot vacuum as well due to my partners long hair, but this is far less time consuming than either sweeping the floors or vacuuming manually.

Maybe the cat complicates things? I only have to remove them like at most once a month, probably less.

I have dogs, I wish it could detect when it's full more easily. I think it does it by weight or suction resistance. May even be nice to have a built in trash compactor - or I should just get the one with the bin/wash base station.
