I use a slightly damp surface (on a cloth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2682465 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 16:18:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2682465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really dust. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2682460 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 16:14:08 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2682460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I think the technology has come a long way from when I was a kid though lol back then they leaked pretty bad!

We don't get any dust from it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2682396 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 14:48:35 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2682396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I guess I'm the only one that was taught vacuum then dust. Probably because back in the day with the bagged vacuums, dust came out as you were vacuuming and settled, so we always dusted last. I have a Dyson now, but my cleaning comes in stages these days anyway lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2682283 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:42:52 +0000 MaryM 2682283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taught all chores are "top down"</p> <p>so dust, then vacuum. Clean bathroom counters, then toilets, then floors, etc. Floors are always last in case you get them dirty while cleaning other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681900 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:09:33 +0000 ALV91711 2681900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I did both at the same time, dust then vacuum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681785 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 20:39:47 +0000 JennyD 2681785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: this!</p> <p>Man I was starting to think there was something wrong with me!</p> <p>Dusting and vacuuming gets done if and when I can coerce DD and DH to do it.

I hate dusting those because I feel like I get covered in dust. </p> <p>Or the tops of bookshelves would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681511 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 14:41:46 +0000 IRunForFun 2681511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dust then vacuum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681473 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 14:17:34 +0000 kiddosc 2681473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's dust then vacuum for me, but growing up my Mom was a vacuum first person.

But if you have a good vacuum, that shouldn't be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681420 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 13:41:37 +0000 sugarpea 2681420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dust first :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681397 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 13:20:16 +0000 Anya 2681397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dust, then vacuum.

I dont do these tasks on the same day though, so I guess I can't really answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-comes-first#post-2681386 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 13:08:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2681386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top to Bottom. </p> <p>But honestly with kids, whatever I can get to. </p>
