The has been construction is better. Note though that it's the flat that has been cleaned, not the dust, so the word cleared is better. If you want your robot to sound like a human, have it say I've finished the dusting.

The has been construction is better. Note though that it's the flat that has been cleaned, not the dust, so the word cleared is better. If you want your robot to sound like a human, have it say I've finished the dusting.

Both statements use past tense verbs (cleaned & cleared) joined with a 3rd person singular present indicative (is & has) which means neither one of them makes the grade as far as syntax and logic would go, however, both sentences essentially mean the same thing.
"All dust has been cleaned" or "All dust is cleared"
All dust has been cleaned
All dust is cleared
Cleaned = Past tense of removing dirt, stains, blemishes, etc implies "dirty"
Cleared = Past tense of removing something implies "clutter"
Cleaned basically equals Cleared
All dust = A reference to a finite ammount of dust defined by context.
Has = 3rd person present tense conjugation of "to have"
been = past participle
but...
has been = person who is out dated
All dust Has Been cleaned ... ;)
