When cleaning your house what do you first?

Question

vaccum or dust? and why do you do it that way. Personally i dust and then vaccum cause that is how my mom did it.

Answer 1

dust and then vacuum because thats the way my mom taught me.

Answer 2

wow, I think dimplemom should be my guru.
I pick up first, and tidy.
If the shelves are dusty I dust them, otherwise, I vacuum or sweep. I sweep everyday, or every other day, depending on whether I have the time or not, or how gritty it is outside. I dust once a week, sometimes only once every two weeks. The coffee tables get done more often, since they get really crumby fast. I vacuum the couches once a month and I have someone come in to help once in a while, since both of us work. Sometimes I feel like a zoo-keeper. Having a good filter on our force-air furnace keeps the dust down. Clean the registers and grills once a year.

Well I always do one room a day , like this I have the whole weekend free NO CLEANING, I also use Spontex duster´s which stop the dust from settling back again , so you dust one day & don´t have to dust for the next 3 day´s , So less dusting for me , Hoovering , I do every 2 day´s as I have very few carpet´s but use the DYSON for all the ceramic floor tiles furniture and curtins. so that´s how I do my cleaning, Bathroom´s every day washing everyday , Ironing every second day, Kitchen get´s used everyday, worktops washed down dishes to the dishwasher floor swept and moped , and the whole kitchen has a through out clean every 2 weeks. Silver ware and other ´s once a mouth. widows once a mouth. Have I forgotten anything . No think that´s it More or less that the way I do it

Answer 4

I de-trash my house first. Dusting should be done prior to vaccuming because the dust can then be sucked away. Happy cleaning.

Answer 5

I 'pick up' around the house first. Throw away any trash, and make a stack in each room of what doesn't belong there. Put those things where they belong. Then I vacuum, mop, and dust.
I can't clean all of my house at once due to illness but this works doing a room at a time. I use products that smell good, and light a great candle every day.

Answer 6

Well I dust first that way you can vaccum the dust balls/dirt .

Answer 7

I always dust first then vacumn, that way the dust you brush of furniture, etc falls on the floor and is picked up by the vacuum.

Answer 8

Dust then vacuum, that way you can vacuum up any stray dust that you may have swept onto the floor (My mother did it the other way around and I always thought she was crazy!)

Answer 9

Dust first, my mom did it the same way.

Answer 10

Procrastinate
Depend on vacuum - if you have a HEPA vacuum you dust first
an older vacuum you vacuum first because it raises dust, then dust using endust or pledge
