besides the ionic breeze.
Vacuum regularly, shampoo carpets twice a year, and open the windows wide every day during nice weather. Even in winter I try to open windows for a little while at least once a week.
Using anti-allergen shampoo in the carpet shampooer removes (I hope) many of the fine particles that can cause problems.
Wash bedding and drapes often too as they collect a huge amount of dust.

Ionic Breeze by Sharper Image. It is expensive but well worth it. It is especially good for allergy sufferers
Hire a air conditioning company to come out and blow out all your vents.
Open the windows and let the breeze flow through. its alot cheaper too
get a air exchanger, it hooks into your furnace and it brings in fresh air and sends out old air. (exchanging) HVAC companys could give you a quote.
We use an electronic air cleaner (installed by HVAC company) in the furnace. It replaces the tradition media filters that gas furnaces usually use. It works really well and notice a definite decrease in dust in the house. It must be cleaned regularly though (every 1 to 3 months.) Cleaning is easy – just soak in laundry tub or run through dishwasher. More expensive up front but you can save money in the long run because you do not need to keep buying filters. Also we installed a heat recovery ventilator with a hepa filter. (Lifebreath brand) It exchanges the inside/outside air up to 9 times a day and keeps the house fresh. Expensive but worth it. Have people with breathing problems in the house so we must keep the air clean and windows closed.
