Really easy, and not Rocket science. It's commonly referred to as Tack-cloth,,, (sp) and is mildly adhesive, in that it attaches particles to it.

"Knowledge" is often acquired,,,AFTER we need it.
BTW, no offense to anyone, but a DAMP cloth only serves to raise the imperfections and hair like strands of the woods surface/substance.

A lot of dust will be on the surface after you dust. You can get a special soap with low amounts of bubbles to wash the surface down from any hardware store. Leave half an hour or so after sanding for the dust to settle, then wash it down with a sponge. Give it a couple of hours to dry off and you can paint straight on it.

did you wipe the dust from sanding it down off first? this may produce clumps! Or bits in the paint or on your brush! Sand it down again (where the lumps are) and paint with a pad!

Did you wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth after sanding and before painting? No? There's the answer to your bits!

If you were varnishing you would have to lightly sand each coat before applying the next. I don't see that paint should be any different. Sand it down with very fine sandpaper and paint over.

Wipe it down with "Tack cloth" from any hardware store. After you paint try not to have to much activity so that the dust gets stirred up.

You need to let the room air for a few days after sanding, or extract the air from the room, because dust can be left floating for days, and will get in your paintwork.

You need to stir the paint better.
