Also, don't just brush the dust away with a feather duster or cloth. Damp microfiber cloths will trap the dust instead of just moving it around. Make sure you remember to clean ceiling fans, blinds, and curtains.

You can also add filters to your home if you don't have them, either as stand-alone room units or in your central heating and air system.

Make sure its CADR (clean air delivery rate) is right for the size of the room. If you have a central heating and air conditioning system in your home, you can turn it into a filtration system for your whole home by installing a better air filter.

Limit how much pollen you let inside As much as you can, keep the windows closed if you have air conditioning to avoid pollen being blown inside. Take off your shoes outside, or have a mat at the door where you can wipe your feet.
