how do you keep your home dust free?

[Significial]

Floor/carpets kind of straightforward, just to vacuum it.

How you deal with shelves loaded with books, photo frames, and trophies on display? Do you wipe every book top edge regularly? Do you take every item off from the shelf to clean the shelf?

Do you wipe the top surface of any tall furnitures?

How do you clean the heating radiator finns?

how do you clean the window/door frame skirting and corners?

I have no trophies 😢
All the other stuff - old fashioned feather duster for light swishing. Damp dust for bigger areas. Proper, full on, move everything type dusting, once in a blue moon. I have a really dusty house and if I did it 'properly', I'd be doing it all the time.

I have a robot vac which I set going every day. Not sure how or why but this also means I see less dust on shelves

Feather dusters for window and door frames, skirting boards and round the tops of the rooms. Damp dust big areas too. Dry dust window sills daily, because we’re getting loads of tiny fly type things.

Floating shelves have photos on them and I remove them to dust. Use the feather dusters on paintings and wipe the glass with a damp cloth from time to time. You can buy narrow dusters things for radiators.

minimal "stuff" and a duster!
Don't do the tops of tall things very often.

I do my best, but fail. I'm sitting here with sunshine coming into the room showing me all the dust. 😱

DH does most housework as he's retired & I still work. He vacuums most days, but doesn't see dust. I'm gradually selling my <vast> collection of Art Deco cups/saucers etc on eBay to make life easier. I've also 'pruned' my collection of books donating the ones that I don't want to a charity shop. I have my Kindle, don't need 'hard' copies.

I've given DH warning that tomorrow is 'doing day' which means all surfaces cleared, ornaments, all the cups/saucers etc washed up, brass & silver polished, surfaces dusted with 'Fluffy Duster' then a spray of polish. He cleaned the outside of the windows in the week, now time for the inside - also on the agenda for the weekend, if no time left tomorrow.

He's currently on the phone to our DD suggesting that the GC spend tomorrow with us. I know his plan - he'll want to take them somewhere fun while I crack on. 😂 Which, frankly, I'd prefer as I work better & quicker without him around.

I live in Spain. Dust is a part of life thanks to not much rain. You dust and 5 minutes later it’s back again so I just do it once a week if that.

I’m in Perth. I dust once every six months whether the house needs it or not.

Spoiler: Its a dry climate - if I dusted every day, I would never keep up with it. If my house would seal, I would invest in an air purifier. Or if I had regular bush fires. But I just have dust.

Keeping stuff on surfaces to a minimum, it helps to have plenty of storage. Pledge fluffy dusters with the disposable fluffy bits, microfibre cloths for damp dust and wipe.
