After a renovation, remodel, or construction project, fine dust settles on every surface. Post-construction cleaning removes this residue so your finished project actually looks and feels complete. Here is how to prepare.
Before the Cleaning Team Arrives
- Ensure all construction work is fully complete
- Remove large debris, tools, and materials
- Make sure utilities are connected — water, electricity
- Provide access to all rooms and closets
- Point out any areas of concern or new finishes to protect
What Post-Construction Cleaning Includes
- Fine dust removal from all surfaces
- Window cleaning — sills, tracks, and glass
- Cabinet interior and exterior wiping
- Floor cleaning — vacuum, mop, and detail
- Fixture and hardware polishing
- Bathroom and kitchen detailing
- Baseboard and trim wiping
How Many Passes Are Needed?
Most renovations need 1-2 cleaning passes. Major construction projects with drywall, sanding, or demolition may need an additional pass as dust continues to settle for days after work is complete.
