Should I Dust Or Vacuum First?

This is a topic with much debate.  I think it would depend on a few factors.

1. The condition of the house: Is it extremely dusty before you start?
2. Do you have the right equipment?
3. Does the house have a lot of traffic, children and pets?

What are some of the things that omit dust?

Did you know that pulling a tissue out of its box, it omits particles?

Did you know, that just sitting down on a cloth piece of furniture it omits dust into the air?

Did you know, that just walking across your carpet it omits dust into the air?

So, do you dust or vacuum first?

Dusting first?  If  you are using a terry cloth or old washcloth dry. Any dust falling from your cloth will land on the floor.But, what if you use a dampened cloth, or a microfiber cloth and maybe even a natural furniture polish? This won’t happen.

Do you vacuum first? If you have an old vacuum cleaner or even a new one with just a bag, chances are you are blowing the dust back into the room or not getting up a lot of the dust or dirt from the floor, if it doesn’t have a sealed system HEPA-FILTER. Having a vacuum cleaner with a sealed system HEPA-FILTER, you are removing 99.9 % of the dust from the air.

Using the right tools makes a huge difference.

I think it’s really your preference.

Happy Cleaning!
