Make a cleaning plan
Almost everything in your house will need cleaning after you renovate the house. At least a wipe will be necessary, and the cleaning task volume can feel overwhelming. So, before you clean your home after a renovation, make a list of tasks and move forward with that list and cleaning plan. I promise you the tasks will feel less tiring with a plan.
Decluttering is the key
When you renovate your house, moving stuff around the rooms is widespread, creating clutters here and there. In those instances, decluttering can help you clean things up. However, if you don’t declutter, this clutter startss to collect dust and makes cleaning even more challenging later. Also, you’ll have more organized space for other stuff in your house.
Start from the top
After renovation, you’ll notice a fine layer of dust on everything, starting from the wall, ceiling, light fixtures, and everything. The best way to get rid of this dust is to start from the top of your room. For example, use a vacuum to start from the ceiling and come down with every inch clean. This way, all the dust from the top will ultimately come down on the floor.
A final walkthrough with your contractor is a must
Finally, the renovation is over, and you are ready to move in. However, it’s best to take a final walk-through with your contractor and know whether any repair work is left. Otherwise, you might get to cleaning while the remaining work can again make your house a mess.
Don’t forget to wear a mask
After your house is renovated, it’s widespread that the whole house will be covered with dust. At that time, wearing safety gear or a mask is essential to protect yourself from all that airborne dust. Especially if you have dust allergies or respiratory issues, these dust can cause severe problems for you.
Check the air filters and vents
Homeowners often forget the air vents and filters after the renovation. But these parts of your room are crucial to keep the dust away. The air vents and filters can easily attract dust from around the house. If you don’t clean and vacuum them thoroughly, the dust might recirculate back into the room or clog the air circulation system.
Hire cleanup service
Hiring a cleaning service can be a great idea if you are busy or want to move in quickly in your renovated house. Renovation can create a massive mess in your house, and often it takes days to clean that out. So, if you are okay with investing money in a cleaning service and getting professional and quick results, hire a cleanup service.
