Do you sweep up the pet hair on your upholstery using a spritz of water and an old squeegee?

Or do you whip out your lint roller to dust your lampshades?

Or maybe one afternoon, vexed by the pile of dust inexplicably building up on your ceiling fan, ~inspiration struck~ and you grabbed a dirty pillow case from the laundry basket.

Maybe you have rules you follow about sweeping the floors, so you're as efficient as possible: like sweeping in ~quadrants~ and never moving a dust pile from one place to another.
