Thats a great question thats difficult to totally eliminate. Control measures might be instituted. Not wearing shoes in the house, keeping hvac filters clean, keeping windows closed, meticulous vacuuming and not having pets might be considered for reduction factors. Hope this helps.
You can frequently change your furnace filters. That helps a lot, but I've found a big source of dust is ductwork that hasn't been sealed. One house I used to clean had their ducts in the crawl space sealed and the dust was visibly reduced.
Hi ! Dust is everywhere ! But there are things you can do to cut down on dust .
Leave your shoes at the door , wipe dust off , instead of using a duster that just blows it around ( and do it on a regular basis ) If it is because of a health issue , try to get rid of carpets and rugs also invest in a plug in air filter unit , that will trap dust . Good luck !
I live where it is really dusty and have allergies along with a house full of pets. Wet dusting works. Plus my allergist recommended this method too. Use a soft cotton or microfiber cloth.

Hello Toots, keeping dust at bay is an impossible task, but here are some tips that can hopefully help you to reduce the dust in your home, I don'y agree with the "no carpet" one, I just vacuum weekly and it does not collect the dust.
Seconding the wet dusting technique. My kid is allergic so our doctor suggested doing it this way. You can't completely eliminate it seeing as it is an accumulation of stuff including our skin, but you can control it; wet dusting spreads it far less than a dry cloth. You can also try installing an air purifier if you have some money to spare. Some additional guidance though as it says here, the CADR rating might matter regarding dust, but not necessarily when it comes to efficiency and cleanliness of air.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

Try "wet" dusting. You can't stop dust from happening.

Check doors and windows for caulking and seals that need replacing.
Keep doors and windows closed but if they are open make sure you have good screens.
Wet dusting will also help to keep the dust down. A humidifier and an air purifier will also help.
