Is it better to dust before or after vacuuming?
Question:
Answers:
First you must dust then you vacuum (or preferably pass someone a duster and then show them where to plug in the vacuum). I've worked as a cleaner and this is the routine.
This will ensure that the dust that is disturbed and falls to the floor will be picked up.
dust with the vac. get one with a heppa filter and leave it running while you dust as it will filter the air.
Before. I have always heard that you should dust then vaccum.
LOL I say after cos the vaccum raises dust!
either is fine.
I usally dust first and do the vac last. Maybe will try your reverals and check to see what works best.
I live in the desert, Las Vegas. You do dust a lot out here. I mean a lot.
it depends how you dust... use a damp cloth when you dust instead of using a duster.i would vacumme first then dust with my cloth.
Vaccum and dust the most visible surfaces. Let the rest of the dust just sit there.
always before so that you can hoover up what falls onto the floor
Good question: The chicken or the egg-which comes first.
I never dust anymore-this action causes the dust to rise and settle again.
I use a dry wipe and vacuum afterwards. If you vacuum first, any debris will fall to the floor and you have to vacuum again.
After the vaccuum! hoovering is what kicks up the dust. but if you want to be sure. do before and after!
The user in the first answer suggested a hepa filter vac. My family has one of these --- but it is costly!! it was 600 dollars!!
Somebody else suggested that the vacuum raises dust, and others say dust before.
My suggestion would be to dust BEFORE you vacuum...extra dust might fall to the ground and the vacuum might suck it up. Then, after you've vacuumed, maybe you can spend 5 minutes or so going back over certian things.
If you dust/vacuum regularly, i dont think that this would be a problem..and you could probably do it in any order. If you have mounds of dust though - then i'd do the before and after
a) Vacuume
b) Don't dust right away. relax for a while. Wait for dust to settle!
c) Dust using a method which does not spread around the dust such as a wet rag or static cling wand.
You dust after u vacuum.The reason is when u vacuum it stirs the dust up.Then it falls back onto your tables.The best way is to vacuum first then take your vacuum cleaner attachments and vacuum up the dust.If u have the attachments. This way your not spreading the dust around.Plus to much polish on furniture is not good either.It builds up.I only polish when it starts to get dull..Good luck
dust with the vacum
