It might help a bit, but by the end of VACUUM FULL you would need to run
reindex again as VACUUM FULL tends to cause a lot of index bloat.   It
is normal for tables to have some slack space, so if you do a regular
vacuum every day (or let autovacuum) it's normal for the table to be a
bit bigger than after a VACUUM FULL, but they should ready steady state
and stop growing.

You may also want to look into using CLUSTER it will rewrite the whole
table and is typically much more efficient that VACUUM FULL, but it
requires 2x disk space while running.
