Half the dust just goes into the air and resettles elsewhere. It seems like I am making the situation worse.

How can I wipe the dust in a way so as to avoid just pushing it around so much?

I did some web searches but none of them seem to have much helpful advice on this.

    I can recommend wiping the floor regularly with a damp cloth. Removes a lot of the dust from the room, so that it can’t get kicked up and land in other places. And it’s relatively quick to do, especially since you don’t have to reach all the corners for that either.

    You may want to add a bit of lemon acid to the water every few months or so, since the water will leave behind limescale when it dries, which will make your floor less shiny.
