I am remodeling our house currently, and am doing almost everything interior that could be done. Currently working on ripping up the LVT flooring and grinding the adhesive off the slab to prep for tile. I will also be painting the walls.

I am considering priming the walls with Kilz before tearing up the floor. That way if I get any primer on the floor it won't matter since I'm tearing it up, and I don't want to get any primer on the slab. My dust control for grinding the adhesive is pretty good, but some dust does escape. So I planned to lightly damp rag wipe down the primed walls after removing the floor to clean them before painting.

Alternatively, I could take up the floor first, then wipe down the walls, and then prime. This would necessitate covering the slab with plastic or drop cloth to keep primer off the slab, which is a minor nuisance.

Is there any benefit to doing it either way, or anything I may not be thinking about? Thanks for any help.
