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.

wow, I can't imagine randomly losing your possibly favorite toys every couple of months would have any sort of effect on a person when they become an adult. How many toys are you buying your kids throughout the year?!? Just get them proper storage and explain to them their items need to fit into it (shelves, toy chests. etc). Let them decide which items when it gets too much, you're gonna have a hoarder on your hands when they get older if they always fear losing their items or never learn to let go of things they don't need anymore.

Our kid is kinda spoiled and also needs her stuff purged every now and then. It's pretty easy to tell which toys she cherishes and which ones have been sitting in pieces in the bottom of a tub for the last 6 months. I'm sure most people that do this will get their kid involved in the process. Hoarding can also lead to lasting effects as an adult. Imagine what their friends and classmates think about the clutter when they see or hear about it.

Ok let me ask my two year old what he thinks. He responds very well to reason.

That's.... how children learn?
