Okay, I won't tell you who thinks what, but one of us think that you should dust your furniture, before you vacuum that way whatever dust gets on the floor its vacuumed up. The other thinks you vacuum before you dust...So which is it, do you dust before you vacuum or after?Please help this is so small but I would just like to do one of those kinda I told you so things.. Its a wife thing!
Some vacuums blow dust back in the air. It then resettles back on furniture. Better to dust after you vacuum.
Dust FIRST then vacuum! Otherwise you get all the dust up off the floor and then put more dust on it again by dusting. Start from the top, go to the bottom. Floor last.
I've always vacuumed before dusting. I use a damp cloth for dusting so no dust is hitting the ground but the vacuum puts dust in the air. hope it helps one of you :)
omg you should totally dust first! that way, all the dust that come flying off your furniture lands on your carpet. So, then after you dust, you can go back over and vacuum so not only are your floors clean, you have also eliminated the dust from your house, not just spread it around. Let me guess, your husband thinks you should vacuum first? haha! You're right! Another victory for you!
Always dust AFTER vacuuming because almost all vacuum cleaners expels some dust particles into the air. Now tell him you were right and make him take you out to dinner. <edits I see the majority says dust first, and I 100% disagree because of experience and having been a house keeper all my life. Think about it or better yet get a flashlight, turn the lights off and turn on the vacuum cleaner then shine your flashlight at the vacuum cleaner while it's running and you can see the dust particles flying out of it... and where will it go? on your freshly dusted furniture. I rest my case.
