Whether you’re building a new home or renovating portions of an old one, you’re bound to accumulate dust, dirt, and debris. Construction causes a mess. And despite every effort by the contractors to tidy up, they’re not professional house cleaners. If you are planning a renovation, here are 4 tips for ensure you maintain cleanliness in your home:
- Clear the Area – If your kitchen, for example, is being torn down to the studs before a renovation, do whatever you can to eliminate furniture or decorations nearby that can collect dust and dirt. The less you have to tidy up as post construction cleaning, the more satisfied you’ll be when your changes are made.
- Box Up and Store – Have you ever had to individually dust books on a shelf? It’s torturous. If bookshelves or other items in sight of a renovation are exposed, they will collect filth. Box up what you can and store it out of sight to reduce construction cleaning.
- Invest in a Shoe Rack – You want to try and isolate the construction mess. Wearing shoes through the house and tracking dirt everywhere is ill-advised. Get a shoe rack at the point of entry to your home where you can store shoes. And then keep it protected!
- Cover the Furniture and Carpets – As well as you’re able, place tarps or covers over furniture and flooring near the renovation that can’t be moved elsewhere. When your renovation is complete, Accent Maid Service can help you with a one time cleaning service to return your floors and furniture to a better than pre-construction state. But you can limit the potential damage by covering what you can.
