If you’ve ever had construction workers in your home, you know how damaging it can be. Dust and filth are unavoidable, even when everything goes according to plan and your tradespeople are as neat as possible. Post-construction cleanup necessitates the use of specialist cleaning equipment. If not cleaned correctly, brick or drywall dust may cause damage to your property, and specific construction waste can be dangerous to your health.
Fine dust will be your primary issue after most building projects. Even when all measures are taken, this dust is hard to control entirely. Unfortunately, if it clogs your HVAC system or gets into your electronics, it may cause harm.
Here are some top tips from our post-construction cleaning experts:
- A moist microfiber cloth is the finest technique to clean fine particles. If the dust is wet enough, it will change to mud instead of clinging to the fabric, so wring it out until it’s moist. The cloth should only be used to pick up dust, not to absorb it.
- After each pass, wash the cloth and replace the water you’re using if it becomes foggy. This will keep you from reapplying wet dust to areas you thought were clean.
- Allow the space to dry completely before vacuuming with a brush attachment to remove leftover dust. Finally, use a moist cloth to spot clean and wash down the walls and floor.
- Rent a dry vacuum from your local hardware shop if you have fine dust on a carpeted floor. Investing in a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter will guarantee that as much dust as possible is removed.
