Lay a flashlight on the floor.
In the horizontal beam of the flashlight, every mote of dust will cast a long shadow. Something as large as a tiny screw becomes easily visible.
Anytime I've tried this I've ended up with the rim of the flashlight being larger than the item I'm looking for so I just end up going "wow this is a dirty floor" and turning it off to look with my eyes
If your floor is so dirty that you can't use the flashlight technique, it's time to pick up a broom...
Funnily enough it's always happened in someone else's space where it's not my place to tell them to clean up
