Unfortunately, not all contractors are going to take care of the post-renovation cleaning after spending months creating piles of renovation debris and dust in your home.
If you’re stuck with a gigantic post-renovation mess and have no idea where to start, you’ve come to the right place. Follow these easy tips to get your newly renovated space looking the way you always imagined.
The first and most important part of post-renovation clean up is to remove and dispose of all of the leftover construction and remodeling debris. This can be anything from large piles of scrap wood, countertops, concrete, broken tools, hardware, and other assorted waste.
Many people rent dumpsters for this first step. Dumpster rental can be tricky, expensive, and requires a lot of hard work that you’ll be left to deal with alone. Oftentimes, your city or county may require that you get a permit to have a dumpster placed on your property, and it might not always be in a convenient location to easily tackle your project. But there’s an easier way.
The best way to get through the first step of a post-renovation clean-up is to hire a professional and affordable service to take care of the removal, haul away, and disposal for you.
Once all of the renovation waste and debris has been removed, the next step is to clean up all of the construction dust that was left behind. Because trust us, there will be plenty. And it’s probably in areas that you would least expect it.
Construction dust is incredibly fine and tends to get everywhere. Whether it’s dust from tile, wood, drywall, concrete, or brick, any home remodel is going to send a ton of super fine particles into the air that will settle all over your home, even in the deepest darkest corners.
Since construction dust is hazardous to your respiratory system, making sure you clean it all up properly is incredibly important.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
Face masks
Soft towels
Used dryer sheets
Dust mops or towels
Floor cleaning solution
A vacuum + one or two extra filters
A broom, dust mop (or clothes and tape) and wet mop
