I am looking for tips on reducing dust.

I already do these.

1. change ac filters often
2. Use a fan powered ionic air cleaner
3. mop and vacuum frequently

Two dogs. Soil that is mostly clay. I gave up and hired a weekly
cleaning service. Much less dust now. (I also have three air cleaners
in different rooms. They did not keep up with the dogs.)

An ion air cleaner, I found, is not very effective on dust. One of my
filters is a large Honeywell that I got at Home Depot. Looks like a
barrel cut down to half height. This one has activated-charcoal
pre-filters wrapped around paper filters. When the "clean" light goes
on, I remove the prefilters and beat them against my chain link fence.
Make sure the wind is blowing away from you grin. The paper filter I
vacuum with the brush accessory. I have not had the "replace filter"
light come on ever in five years.
