That's one of the few useful things I learned as a boy scout: how to sweep a large room.
At first, I thought spreading the green stuff all around the floor
was an honesty test: to assure I really swept the entire floor.
But then I saw how all the dust was clumped with just a broom.
I vounteer at a museum with large old buildings.
We've used several 50 lb bags sweeping out the dust-of-ages :-)

It won't work in my basement/shop. The concrete is dusting. The more
I sweep, the more there is to sweep. :-(

I've used kitty litter but that's mostly for liquids.

I have heard that for problems like dusting, acid washing the floor,
and then sealing it with epoxy or a good floor paint will solve the problem.

SWMBO wouldn't appreciate the stink. I'd have to have some mighty fans
to clear the ail.
I guess I could do one room at a time. I could move everything into
the others. Maybe. I'd need some mighty fans to get rid of the
fumes, me thinks.

The smell may be less that you thing, as the resulting salt is odor
less, Probably use a solution of HCL and the salt would be CaCl2
As you do the washing you will definitely need very good ventilation or

Having used Muriatic Acid (HCl) for a swimming pool, I wouldn't discount
the smell. Every once in a while the smell would come up and get you--even if using mostly safe techniques. (Open the bottle at arm's length, add
acid to water not water to acid, no hugging the bottle, don't drink it,
etc.)
There is a latex based floor sealant that's not too bad. It dries clear
but shiny (like most white glues or Matte Mediums do). It does seem to
keep the dusting down. My layer of sealant is quite new, so it's hard to
say if it'll last as long as acid washing the concrete and epoxying it.

differently. Always put the heavier ( most dense) liquid into the
lesser dense liguid.
If it is not required because of the heat released on mixing (water to
acid), it also helps with the mixing, as the dense liguid sinks into the
less dense liquid and mixes as it sinks.
