Everything You Need to Know About Post-Construction Cleaning

post-construction cleaning

Anyone who’s seen a construction site knows that they aren’t the most pristine places to be. Post-construction can be a messy and daunting task, whether it’s after a renovation project or the construction of a new building. This is why post-construction cleaning is necessary in order for your space to look presentable and safe for yourself, employees, customers, or prospective residents.

What is Post-Construction Cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning includes a range of professional services that clean up construction areas so they are safe and presentable. This can include everything from: 

  • Wiping down drywall 
  • Debris removal
  • Removing adhesive residue 
  • Removing paint and compound splatter
  • Vacuuming carpets
  • Mopping floors
  • Window washing
  • Sanitizing
  • Fine dust removal

Why You Need Post-Construction Cleaning

Let’s look at things besides the mess for a second. During construction, a lot of dangerous items or hazardous materials are used. From unclean and dusty air to tools and materials being left behind, construction can be risky to your health and safety. Even if the mess isn’t visible, post-construction cleaning is a must for making sure that the building and anyone inside is safe.

Now let’s talk about the mess. Construction sites are, as we said, less than pristine. Oftentimes it’s needed to get rid of all the dirt and dust, as well as any debris that may have been left behind. This will help make sure your post-construction space looks its best and is ready for occupancy or business operations.

How Much Cleaning is Required?

The amount of post-construction cleaning that is required depends on the scope of work and the size of the project. Professional cleaners can assess how much cleaning is needed and provide a comprehensive cleanup plan.

Who Does Post-Construction Cleaning?

A professional post-construction cleaning crew is experienced in post-construction cleanup, meaning they know what to look for and will make sure all areas have been properly cleaned. Plus, they have the right equipment and supplies that aren’t typically found in a household or office setting.

What Methods do Different Cleaners Use?

Different post-construction cleaners may use different methods, including:

  • Bottom-up cleaning: Starting at the bottom and working their way up, post-construction cleaners will remove all debris by vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping.
  • Dry cleaning: This includes wiping down surfaces with a dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris.
  • High-pressure washing: Professionals can use pressure washers to blast away any dirt and grime that has been left behind during construction.
