Or ways to remove that accumulation fast?

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

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.
