It's something I never think about. At least until I was clearing off my bookshelf today to move it and got a big whiff of dust that I'm still coughing up 20 minutes later.

How often do you dust?

When the debris clears for me to see the dust.
I dust bi-weekly.
I've noticed as I've gotten older, there is more dust present, especially around my bed. I attribute this to aging skin and more cells being sloughed off, mainly because I noticed the dust is worse in the winter despite the windows being closed.

You're very observant.
I've always been hyper-observant. It's what helped me to excel in the my chosen field.
It would drive my family nuts because I'd walk into a restaurant with my family to dine and see things in the dining room that I knew were consistent with back-of-house cleanliness/food safety issues, and turn around and leave to go somewhere else.
I tend to be more observant with people than environment.
Every day... but not the same room. One of my morning chores is dusting a room. With Sunday off (most) chores i do a room a day.
But I don't do behind books or furniture up against a wall etc, i get hubby to do them when i notice they need doing.
I dust when my mom comes to visit.

Keeping your home dust/dust mite free is important; the connection to lung cancer is becoming more established. See for example:
Long-term exposure to house dust mites accelerates lung cancer development in mice - PubMed
Collectively, these data indicate that long-term exposure to HDM can accelerate lung tumorigenesis in susceptible hosts (e.g., mice and potentially humans exposed to lung carcinogens or genetically predisposed to develop LC).

I think what I breathed in today probably signed me up for cancer already.Keeping your home dust/dust mite free is important; the connection to lung cancer is becoming more established. See for example:

I'm still active enough that I don't need dusting. Give me a year or two...

Most days, but sometimes I shower instead.
I am closer and closer to a dust free environment. I have made progress. I've pulled out the old carpeting. I have put many things into plastic containers, and I am almost to the point where nothing has to sit upon the floor. This year for the first time I intend to use a steam device to kill all germs and dust mites on many of the surfaces, and I'll carefully open up some of the spaces which still have dead bugs and mouse crap and get rid of that stuff. I will tape over or caulk any cracks that spiders dwell in.
If it can't be cleaned it will be painted. If it can't be cleaned or painted it will be destroyed, replaced or rebuilt. And then I'll take over the world.

On your way to do all that, stop by here...
If you take over the world, you oughta make sure my place is tidy, too... after all, at that point you'll be responsible for it. Taking over the world is a lot of work.

I tried something similar but I couldn't find a plastic container big enough for the Chesterfield and it didn't look too good after I painted it!
Does it fall off by itself or is some sort of rubbing required?
It can't be all that hard compared to cleaning this place up.
I shall bring a shovel, a paintball gun and an ant farm. That's all I'll need. I'll reveal what these things are for when I arrive.
Dry clean it.
Now I'm wondering what there is I've been missing
