    One significant source of dust in households is textiles like rugs, pillows and curtains.

    Dust sources are:

    • Leaky air ducts: air ducts leak up to 11% on both the supply and return lines for a total of ~20% whenever your central air turns on. Yum fiberglass insulation!
    • Shed skin flakes: humans drop 1.5 lbs of skin a year. Dusty!
    • Dryers agitate clothes while heating them. Yum lint!
    • Shoes track in dust. Yum dirt.

    You could consistently clean the air with a hepa filter that you clean regularly.

    You could install a hrv system with a hepa filter on the intake duct while being anal about no leaks in the ducts. Then set it to make positive internal air pressure.

    You could get a vaccume and mop roomba robot.

    You could take off your shoes before coming into the house.

    You could try to seal all your existing ducts.

    Between all these suggestions, I think your dust would become negligible.

    Fun.
