Adam Carolla's Ace on the House Podcast gave this tip and i put it to use while installing several smoke and CO alarms.
You place a piece a blue tape on the wall and attach the smoke alarm container to it. The dust from the drilled holes slides down the wall via the blue tape into the container. This eliminates dirty floors. It's crude but works.
