What Are the Risks of Delaying Construction Cleaning After a Project?

Delaying construction cleaning once your project is finished can prevent you from moving in or using your space sooner. Dust and debris lying about in windows and floors are unsafe and unsightly, and the longer they stay there, the more likely they are to cause damage.

Here are some reasons why you should prioritize cleaning as soon as possible:

Health hazards: Construction debris and dust pose serious health risks, especially if you have respiratory issues. Prompt cleaning helps ensure a safe and healthy environment.
Property damage: Over time, dust and debris can settle into cracks and crevices, leading to damage to surfaces, equipment, and systems. Timely cleaning can prevent long-term problems.
Increased costs: Delays in cleaning can result in additional costs, such as repairs due to damage, increased cleaning expenses, and potential penalties if your property isn’t ready for move-in.
Negative impression: A dirty or cluttered space can create a negative impression on clients, tenants, or visitors, potentially harming your business or reputation.

Why Should You Prioritize Dust Control in Post-Construction Cleaning?

Dust tends to spread quickly and in hard-to-reach areas like baseboards, ceilings, and on top of cabinets. Since it’s a standard byproduct of drywall sanding, concrete cutting, wood sawing, and insulation materials, it settles around your home or business throughout the project despite control efforts.

Dust is also lightweight, so it’s often disturbed by air movement, leading it to spread rapidly and settle in clean areas. This is why we use a combination of cleaning methods, including HEPA vacuums and damp dusting/mopping, and use ladders or extension poles to reach areas like vents or light fixtures.

What Are the Steps in Renovation Cleaning?

While many cleaning processes remain constant for renovation cleaning, it can also depend on the type of renovation. Kitchens, for example, often require extra attention to remove grease, clean cabinets and appliances, and purge dust and grout from countertops and backsplash areas.

Here are a few key steps in this process:

Debris removal: The first step involves clearing away any large debris, such as leftover construction materials, nails, or packaging, to make way for more detailed cleaning.
Dust removal: Using HEPA vacuums, we can target fine dust that settles on all your walls, floors, and vents, ensuring that even hard-to-reach areas are cleaned.
Surface cleaning: All surfaces, such as countertops, cabinets, windowsills, and shelves, are thoroughly wiped down using microfiber cloths or damp cleaning methods.
Floor cleaning: Depending on the type of flooring, we mop, vacuum, or deep clean the surface to remove construction residue, paying extra attention to grout, tiles, and hardwood care.
Final detailing: After the main cleaning, we focus on detailing your light fixtures, doorframes, baseboards, and any remaining areas.

What Areas Should You Clean After a Kitchen Renovation?

Kitchen renovation cleaning demands extra attention to hygiene, as leftover particles from renovation can compromise the cleanliness of your food preparation areas. Countertops and backsplash areas also often have grout residue, adhesive spills, or paint splatters that require specialized cleaning techniques.

Here are a few key areas we tackle for this type of renovation:

Cabinets and drawers: We clean both the exterior and interior of cabinets and drawers, paying attention to handles and hinges and removing any dust, debris, or construction residue.
Appliances: We clean the exterior and interior of all appliances, including the oven, stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave, to remove any spills, grease, or grime.
Countertops: We wipe down countertops thoroughly to remove dust, debris, and any adhesive residue from stickers or labels.
Sink and faucet: We clean the sink and faucet to remove any debris, stains, or watermarks.
Backsplash: We clean the backsplash to remove any construction dust, adhesive residue, or grout haze.

How Do Professional Cleaners Handle Quality Assurance?

Quality assurance for our professional cleaners means that every aspect of the cleaning process meets a high standard of thoroughness, safety, and attention to detail. When we’re finished, your space is left spotless, ready for occupancy, and free from any potential hazards.

There are a few key aspects that allow us to keep quality high and consistent:

Initial walkthrough: We conduct an initial assessment of your space to understand the scope of work required, which may include identifying specific areas that need extra attention.
Inspections at different stages: Throughout the cleaning process, we perform a series of inspections to monitor progress and ensure each phase of cleaning meets our established standards.
Final inspection: After the cleaning is complete, we perform a final inspection of your entire space and invite you to participate in a walkthrough.

How Do Cleaners Handle Paint Splashes in Window Cleaning?

Accidents can happen. Perhaps your windows weren’t properly covered, or a paint can was dropped and splattered everywhere. To remove any marks and splashes, we can use tools like plastic scrapers or razor blades to carefully remove dried paint without scratching the glass.

In some cases, we use cleaning solutions designed to soften the paint for easier removal. This might be necessary for thicker or more extensive staining. With the paint gone, we thoroughly clean your windows to restore their clarity and shine with cloths, squeegees, and other tools as necessary.

How Do You Handle Floor Cleaning Without Leaving Scratches?

Scratching is a significant concern with construction debris because it often contains abrasive materials like sand, small stones, metal shavings, and concrete dust. These particles can act like sandpaper when trapped under cleaning tools or feet, potentially causing permanent damage to your floor's finish.

The cleaning process depends on your type of floors and if they’re carpeted, but we typically start with sweeping or vacuuming to remove larger debris, followed by careful mopping with appropriate cleaning solutions. For harder surfaces, we may use soft-bristled brushes or microfiber mops to avoid scratching.

Technique also matters. When we’re using brooms, for example, a gentle sweeping motion will prevent abrasive materials from dragging across the surface. With larger particles or debris, it’s also often best to simply pick them up by hand to avoid causing any damage.

Benefits of a Construction Site Clean

When the building phase is complete, a good contractor will usually clean up all working material, debris, and tools before signing off with you. This still leaves a large amount of work to be done before your investment is ready for use.

Without a plan for a good construction site clean, dust and grime can build up on fixtures, lighting, windows and heating ducts leaving your beautiful new space covered in a layer of residue. Floors and baseboards will need to be spot cleaned and polished to get them looking their best.
