A Complete Guide to Post-Construction Clean Ups

If you’ve recently completed a construction project, you know how important the post-construction clean-up process is. Without a thorough cleanup, the area you’ve just built can be left looking unfinished and unpresentable. To help you make sure your construction project is complete, we’ve put together a handy guide to post-construction clean-ups so you can be proud to show off your latest project! 

1. Remove all debris from the exterior of the building: The first step in post-construction clean-up is to clear away any debris that was generated during the construction process. Start by clearing away all debris from the exterior of the building, including any construction materials and discarded items. This includes things like drywall scraps, nails, and other construction-related waste. 
2. Vacuum, sweep, and mop: Thoroughly clean all floors and surfaces to ensure the area is free from dust and dirt. Be sure to also clean any carpets and rugs to remove any particles that may have been left behind during the construction process. If you have access to a shop vacuum, it is one of the most efficient and effective ways to clean up dust, dirt, and debris left behind from construction projects. It is powerful enough to suck up heavy materials such as sawdust and drywall dust, but it is also gentle enough to pick up fine dust particles. 
3. Clean windows and doors: After the floors have been cleaned, wipe down all windows and doors, as well as walls, to remove any dirt and dust that may have accumulated during the construction process. Remove any paint or plaster residue from walls or floors, using a damp cloth and mild detergent. 
4. Dust and polish all surfaces and fixtures: Dust and particles are an inevitable part of construction projects, so be sure to dust and polish all surfaces, including furniture, cabinets, fixtures, and appliances, to make them shine.
5. Disinfect all surfaces: Disinfect all surfaces, including countertops, sinks, and toilets, to ensure all bacteria and germs are eliminated from the construction.
6. Empty all trash cans: Empty all trash cans and make sure to properly dispose of any hazardous materials, such as paint or chemicals. Check with your local city or provincial government for regulations about the disposal of specific construction materials. 
7. Make a final inspection: Once you have completed all the steps, make one final inspection of the premises to ensure everything is clean, disinfected, and in order before enjoying your new finished project!

Now that you’re aware of what’s involved with a post-construction clean-up, you can now decide if you have the determination and time to carry it out yourself or if it is better to outsource it to a professional cleaning service. If you’re looking to have your newly-constructed project cleaned to perfection, consider hiring a professional cleaning crew for a cleaning. Not only can this help to ensure that your home is spotless and safe for you and your family, but it can also save you time and effort in the long run.
