You will need to get a vacuum that has some type of HEPA filter that traps microscopic particles of dust from being blown back into the air.

Ceiling fans not only trap dust on top of the fan blades but will also stirs up any dust in the area when turned on. Clean them weekly and if you must use them be sure to have a good HEPA type of Air Purifier in the area.

Run the vacuum over all curtains every week and wash them in the washing machine ever couple of months. If you have curtains that require dry cleaning, replace them because the chemicals used during the cleaning process can lead to problems with someone who has allergies or asthma.
