Whether you’re planning on doing a kitchen remodel or are doing a whole new construction home, you will probably need some help when it comes to cleaning up. Once the contractors leave, there is typically a huge mess to clean up, and many of us haven’t dealt with that scale of mess before. In today’s blog, we’re going to talk about how a typical post renovation clean up professional will tackle the mess so that you don’t have yet another headache to deal with on your next remodel. 

Phase 1: Debris Clear Out And Rough Clean

This phase focuses on getting the largest pieces of debris, junk, packaging, and other large pieces out of the home and prepping the area for a final, more thorough clean in order to make it presentation ready. Typical steps include: 

• Removing construction debris and leftover materials
• Sweeping and vacuuming floors
• Clearing packaging, stickers, and protective coverings
• Initial dust removal from surfaces

Once this has been completed, you’re ready for phase 2!

Phase 2: Deeper Cleaning

Once the large things have been hauled out and properly disposed of, then it’s time for the real cleaning to begin! This is where having a professional team makes the biggest difference. 

Here’s what to expect:

• Removing fine dust from walls, ceilings, and baseboards
• Cleaning light fixtures and vents
• Wiping cabinets, shelving, and countertops
• Sanitizing restrooms and kitchens
• Cleaning interior windows and glass surfaces
• Deep cleaning floors, carpets, and hard surfaces

Phase 3: Final Touch Cleaning

This is the third and final stage of a post-construction clean up job. The final stage prepares the property for occupancy or opening day. At this point, the space should look polished, professional, and welcoming. Here is what is done to get it to that stage:

• Spot cleaning glass and mirrors
• Removing smudges and fingerprints
• Final floor polishing or vacuuming
• Ensuring all surfaces are spotless

The renovation or remodel being completed is really only half the job. Getting your living area back to “livable” shape takes a lot of work. This type of cleaning can definitely be done by the average home owner, but the professionals have a lot of specialized equipment and techniques at their disposal that can make it turn out better than trying to do it yourself.
