When cleaning I always work from the top down, I don’t want to use the same cleaning cloth that I used to wipe the toilet seat when wiping the top of the toilet tank.  The toilet tank is rarely more than a little dusty so I clean that first then wipe down the rest of the toilet.  Spray surfaces with your washroom cleaner and allow the chemical to sit for a while, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.  I leave the bowl cleaner in the bowl for several minutes as well, allowing the chemical to do its job disinfecting and sanitized your bowl.  I also rinse the bowl brush well so it does not become a breeding ground for bacteria when not in use. The more wet your cloth is, the more dirty bacteria etc. is on it and will reduce the quality of your cleaning job.
