So how do prevent things from getting dirty?

  1. Spartan life. Dust is created by not just hair and skin but all upholstered items, cloth items, books, particle board etc. The less of that you have, the less dust and dirt you have. 2. No deep frying. It's the single nastiest way to cook and coats the entire kitchen in grease. It also is terrible for your health. 3. Keep your own hair short and do a lot of walking. The lymphatic system is powered by motion. It is how the body takes out the trash. If you are clean and healthy, you leave less detritus all over the house. 4. Make it a habit. You just get good at not letting things happen because it takes so much less effort to just not get dirty than to clean it up. Once you have a certain awareness, you just don't do things that lead to dirt. 5. Loopholes. I currently live in an SRO. So I have neither a kitchen nor a bathroom of my own. There are facilities down the hall and management cleans them about three times a week. If I buy a house, I will have to do some cleaning that I can currently skip due to not having private facilities of my own.

    Thanks. Agree, deep frying should be avoided greases up surfaces even with an extractor. And I'm a fan of minimalism too.

      You can have glass, metal and hard plastics for furnishings. Those are less problematic than upholstered items, wood, particle board, curtains, etc. Though you can run into acoustic issues with so many hard surfaces. Having a wood floor helps some with acoustics and is much cleaner than carpeting.
