The Need for Professional Help in Post-Renovation Cleaning and the Scope of the Work
Learn why professional post-renovation cleaning matters and what the process includes to remove dust, debris, and residues for a safe, livable space.
Your renovation is complete. The contractors have packed up and left. You can hardly wait to enjoy your newly remodeled area. Then your eyes behold the truth. There’s a fine layer of wall dust on every surface. Paint splatters decorate your floors. There is glue residue on your windows. Debris is scattered everywhere.
This is no ordinary dirt. Professional cleaning after renovation requires specialized expertise, heavy machinery, and a lot of elbow grease. This is why smart Oakville residents choose PureMaids over doing it themselves. More time, less hassle – let us deal with the mess while you begin living comfortably in your renovated space.
The Hidden Hazards in Renovation Dust
The trouble is that this white powder is not just an annoyance but also toxic. The white powder is silica dust that irritates lungs and respiratory conditions. Using traditional vacuum cleaners merely blows this dust back into the air.
Construction dust may also reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system if it manages to get into your ventilation system. We have seen people part with thousands of dollars to repair their ventilation systems because they did not clean them properly.
Professional cleaning services in Oakville such as PureMaids utilize HEPA-filter vacuums to trap micro particles. Techniques and materials exist to remove construction adhesive and paint from surfaces without damaging them and methods to eliminate grout residue without utilizing harsh acids.
What Does Post-Renovation Cleaning Actually Involve
It’s not your average house-cleaning job. The post-reno clean follows a series of stages:
Stage One – Debris Removal:
Gather left over materials and trash
Vacuum large dust and debris
Remove stickers and protection films
Stage Two - Deep Surface Cleaning:
HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces, including walls
Window cleaning (removal of paint and adhesive)
Cabinet washing inside and out
Polishing of fixturing elements, removal of coatings
Baseboard and trim detail
Stage Three - Final Detailing:
Floor cleaning depending on floor type
Cleaning air vents
Light fixture washing
Final inspection and touch-ups
PureMaids will normally require anywhere between 6-12 hours to clean a house post-renovation, depending on the magnitude of work. A kitchen renovation will require a full day. An entire house renovation will require multiple cleaners.
The Limitations of DIY Post-Renovation Cleaning
You’re exhausted from coordinating contractors and making design decisions. In addition to being tired, it’s likely that you don’t have the right tools for the job. A regular mop and household cleaners would not be adequate. Grout haze requires specialized cleaners. Paint overspray calls for other solvents. Drywall dust constantly reappears without proper cleaning equipment.
The complaints we receive from many Oakville clients come from people who have dedicated the entire weekend to cleaning, only to achieve very little. After three days of tireless toiling, they are the ones who call PureMaids.
