At the bottom of that section is a tiny picture of a lunar base with "electrostatic wickets" at the airlock entrance, meant to clean off dust.

I know, I know. But they did give figures for the spin gravity which checked out.

The problem of regolith dust is one that there should be a solution to that doesn't involve wet wipes. Perhaps the suit has some method to negatively charge its surface to keep the dust from attaching?

The Endurance is a Hollywood Science spaceship. And it's a badly designed one. Unless the CM outweighs the hab module by quite a bit, that ship should have wobbled as it spun. I've never seen the whole movie, just bits a pieces, and to be honest, those bits were soft and squishy. Yes they had Kip Thorne as a science advisor. He was quickly given a producer job and probably ignored from there on...
