Should I Dust or Vacuum first?

When you need to clean, you need to know the best way to do so. There are many different opinions about this, but here’s what we recommend:

Dusting clears airways and gives you a clean room.

Dust can be a health hazard, as it can cause allergies, asthma, skin irritation and respiratory problems. It is also known to cause sinus infections. When dust settles on furniture or floors, it can lead to poor air quality in the home. Vacuuming removes dust particles from carpets and rugs while simultaneously eliminating allergens like pollen and pet dander that are trapped within it.

Dusting is a great way to clear out allergens like pollen and dust mites (yuck!).

Dusting is a great way to clear out allergens like pollen and dust mites (yuck!). Dust mites are microscopic bugs that live in your bedding and pillows. They feed on human skin cells, which are left behind on your bedding when you sleep. Dust mites aren't visible to the naked eye, but their fecal matter can trigger an allergic reaction in some people.

If you're feeling tired or sneezy at the end of the day, consider cleaning your room with a duster instead of vacuuming first—the act of removing dust will help keep dust mites at bay!

Let’s face it, dusting is no fun. But it’s really important.

Let’s face it, dusting is no fun. But it’s really important. Dust is a big contributor to allergies and can be a source of allergens like pollen, dust mites and mold. It can also harbor bacteria and other microbes that are bad for your health. And if you have pets in the house—or worse yet, suffer from pet allergies—you know how much pet dander can get everywhere!

So what should you do first: vacuum or dust? Before we answer this question for you, let's take a closer look at what happens when you use each method to clean your home:

You need to dust before you vacuum to get rid of dust that could get sucked up into your vacuum’s filters.

If you vacuum first, you’re going to get the bulk of the dirt and debris off the floor. Then when you dust, all that remains is a light layer of dust. If instead, you do your usual dusting routine first, then vacuum – well let’s just say it could be a messy process. Dust will get into your vacuum’s filters and clog them up faster than if it had been sucked up by a cleaner filter in the first place! Also, any large particles like crumbs or hair can get stuck inside your vacuum if they aren’t picked up by the nozzle before being sucked through the hose and into its motorized brushes which spin at high speeds (think Brillo pad).

You should vacuum first if there are any crumbs, hair or other large particles on the floor.

If there are any large particles on the floor, you should vacuum first. Large particles like crumbs and hair can get stuck in your dusting brush and clog up your vacuum cleaner's bag or filter, making it less efficient. If you have a lot of hair or dust bunnies (or other large particles), it's best to vacuum first so that they don't find their way into your duster and get stuck there too.

You should also vacuum first if you want to keep dust from flying around while you're dusting—the suction from a powerful vacuum cleaner will suck up all of the fine particles floating around in the room, leaving behind only clean floors when it comes time for vacuuming after dusting.

You should start with the duster if you haven’t cleaned in several weeks or more!

If you haven't cleaned in a while, it’s best to start by dusting. Dusting gets rid of allergens, which can be irritating to some people and may even contribute to asthma symptoms. If you use a feather duster or other methods that don’t use debris collectors, these particles will be left on the floor in clusters for your vacuum to suck up. If there are crumbs or pet hair on the floor and you want to get them up first with your vacuum so they don’t just get sucked back into your house again through vents or doors, then do that!

Do what works best for you!

The answer to this question depends on the type of surface you're cleaning and what you have available. Dusting first is an option if you have a duster with a microfiber pad. Vacuuming first is often best when using a vacuum with a HEPA filter, since it will capture more dirt and dust than vacuuming after dusting would.

Note that in many cases, both methods can be used in conjunction: if you use your vacuum's tool attachment to clean upholstery or other surfaces prior to vacuuming, for instance, then go ahead and vacuum first—the method really does depend on what works best for your particular situation!

Conclusion

You can take away a few things from this post. First, dusting is important! It’s also one of the best ways to clear out allergens like pollen and other nasty stuff that might be lurking around your home. Second, vacuuming first will help keep your floors clean and free from any crumbs or other large particles that might get sucked up into your vacuum’s filters. Finally, if you haven’t cleaned in a while (or ever) then start with an old-fashioned duster instead before working up to something more powerful like Roomba or Dyson!
