When you clean do you dust then vacuum or do you vacuum then dust?

I generally dust and then vacuum. 
Have a wonderful day!

I don't know how true this is but I was told a long time ago that you should vacuum first and then dust.  This was because the vacuum could stir up dust.  So dusting afterward will take care of it all.   ???

Anyway, when I'm working by myself, this is how I do it but I'm sure to be careful not to drop the dust on my clean floor.    :silly:

My better plan 'B' is to have my husband tag team with me so we get everything done at once.  ;)

I've heard the same as betlynjua, technically you should vacuum first then dust but I've always dusted first.   I do like betlynjua's idea of tag teaming my husband.  Maybe we can do both at the same time.   :)

Well I vacuum a lot more frequently than I dust but generally if I do dust I do that first then vacuum up anything that fell in the process

I'd dust and then vacuum. I feel like the vacuum would clean up the dust that you stirred up by dusting

What is dusting?  lol

I vacuum but don't dust.  Hardly ever.

I dust first, then vacuum because any dust that falls will get vacuumed up.

Hubby vacuums and i dust,  But i am so fed up with this carpet, it is old and  things are starting to heat up , because i want it ripped up and tile  or something put down, because i can  dust every dang day and turn around and there is more and it is because of the old carpet.  He just does not seem to understand or listens that it is bad for my health.  Oh boy one of these days  it is going to change.

When I remember, I dust then I vacuum. Most of the time I forget the dusting part. The amount of dust and hair has gone down quite a bit since one of our dogs passed last month.
