Our 3 Step Post Construction Cleaning Process
The unique types of dirt produced during construction tend to be resistant to everyday cleaning methods. For this reason, extra care and specialized cleaning equipment is necessary to make a renovated or newly built property truly pristine.
Here are the 3 main stages of a post-construction cleaning service:
- Rough cleaning – First, the cleaners need to remove the obvious pieces of debris such as excessive dust, paint overspray, adhesives, and other leftover or masking materials. This is the point when all the surfaces are given a thorough vacuuming, dusting, and mopping. If the cleaners find any cracks, defects, or other damages, they’ll report them to the property owner or the construction company. This way, the problems can be addressed before the occupants see them.
- Final cleaning – This phase of the process starts by redoing the cleaning tasks that were done during the first stage. This time around, the cleaners pay extra attention to interior surfaces such as cabinets, floors, and baseboards. To accomplish this, the cleaning crew uses microfiber rags and non-toxic cleaners to remove any lingering residues.
- Touch-up cleaning – As its name suggests, this is the phase when the cleaners really focus on the fine details. Sometimes, this part of the cleaning is performed a few days after the second cleaning phase, so as to give any remaining dust or dirt time to settle (and therefore become easier to remove) before the cleaners arrive.
The emphasis here is to wipe away smudges, fingerprints, and other imperfections on the previously-cleaned surfaces.
