i do the dusting first but most people do it the other way around

I think dust, then any dust that goes on the floor can be sucked up by the vacuum.
-
I vaccuum first and then dust.

You decide. Just get over here and get busy...
-
Dust then vaccuum. Otherwise, the vaccuuming would be pointless.

Dust, sweep, then mop and vacuum while the floors you mopped are drying. (if it's thick dust, like something I don't get at very often, I use the vacuum attachment first to get the thick stuff, then dust the rest with a rag and Pledge) Or if you dust with a spray or something that picks up the dust rather than puts it in the air, it doesn't matter which order. If you dust with a feather duster, its more your furnace that may clean it out of the air than your vacuum as you'd have to wait a few hours for it to settle before you could vacuum it up, and it would probably settle back on the surfaces you just dusted. Changing your furnace filter regularly will also cut down on the amount of dust in your home.

I'd say dust first, that way any dust you don't get rid of with the duster will be thrown into the air then land on the floor - which you'd then vacuum anyway ; ) If you used the vacuum then dusted things off you'd just be cleaning everything on the ground then sweeping dust onto the ground : P

I always dust first. That way I wipe crumbs or whatever on the floor and vacuum them up.

i get the house dirty first:-)

I always vaccuum then dust. The vacuum releases a lot of dust back into the air. Don't believe me, then try this. Take a flashlight, hold it near the vaccuum bag and turn the vaccuum on. You will see how much dust escapes from the bag.

Always work from top to bottom

It depends on if the vacuum bag leaks spewing out dust or not. I have not used bags for decades but I had a Kirby that the bag started spewing out dust so I sewed it shut. Problem solved until the vacuum wore out years later.
