How Do You Clean After Construction Work

A renovation is a boon for your business. It enhances your space
to better cater to your employees, customers, and visitors. You may have
expanded your retail space, improved your break room, or added to your gym.
This type of construction both showcases and facilitates the growth of your
business.

This is all great news, but we have to let you in on a secret that
people don’t really talk about. When your construction crew is done and the
the renovations are complete, they don’t always clean up their mess. Sure,
they remove their tools and drop cloths, but as skilled as these workers are,
deep cleaning is not part of the job description. After a construction
project, regardless of the size, a fair amount of dust and residue is left
behind. You don’t want to celebrate your new expansion surrounded by that
post-construction grime. This begs the question:

How do you clean after
construction work?

The answer depends on your space and your unique needs as a business.
Typically, post-construction
cleaning includes:

• Polishing Fixtures: This
  includes ceiling fans, light fixtures, faucets, and any item or furniture
  attached to your space that needs to be polished.
    
• Washing Walls and
  Baseboards: Depending on what your walls are made out of,
  there are a few different techniques. You don’t want to overload a sponge
  with soapy water and go to town. Instead, use a gentle cleaning solution to
  rid your walls of any dust or smudges left behind.
    
• Cleaning Carpets: Both standard
  and deep carpet cleaning may be necessary. Running a vacuum over your carpet
  helps, but a shampoo gets anything deep in the fibers. You can also
  restore your carpets with extraction cleaning.
    
• Deep Cleaning Tile: Remove
  built-up dirt, stains, and mold. You must first prepare the area, apply
  pre-treatments, and scrub thoroughly. It also helps to seal the tile to
  prevent future staining.
    
• Power Washing: Specialized
  equipment uses pressurized water to forcefully clean and restore surfaces.
  This is especially beneficial for the exterior and interior entrances of your
  building.
    

These are some of the most prominent post-construction cleaning
tasks your business might need.
