Not sure where you read such a thing, but it is recommend to always clean the brass before sizing. It doesn't have to be shiney, but should be clean of any dirt. Your dies, but I don't put dirty brass in mine.
BTW, the only way to get tumbling dust everyhwere is tumble w/ the lid off or use the old style Lyman slotted lids. That is just foolish. Put a lid on it, no dust escapes. I empty my tumbler outside, wear a dust mask & be upwind.
