Great ideas ! Every time I dust, I use some of those methods but I always have my vacuum on (with hepa filter) with the brush attachment on the hose right next to what I am dusting so that it gets any dust that might not be held by my dusting cloth. My asthma does much better that way lol ! There are attachments for vacuums for dusting and they work very well also, especially on the walls, ceilings (sorry not popcorn), blinds, fans and more.

A19135774550 , I have a shark vertex lift away vacuum but I bought an aftermarket dusting brush and the multi angle piece that makes the dusting brush work for so many things much more easily. On amazon, I ordered the EZ Spares 1 1/4” - 2 in 1 multi angle dusting brush/flexible crevice tool. I believe it also comes with an adapter to fit other sizes of vacuum hoses.

After cleaning it, let it dry and use Grout sealer from Lowes or Home Depot. That makes it last a long time. Then you can clean it with a broom and dollar store shaving cream. 👍
