The level of debris found on a construction is unfathomable. When everything is completed – wall painting, tile installation, fixture installation, etc. just run a finger over a shelf or open a cupboard, and you will see a thick layer of dust. Not to speak of the screws and nuts strewn around the floor. This is where post construction cleaning services can help you. They clean gypsum dust, dried grout film, paint specks and construction waste and make sure all the corners and spaces are thoroughly cleaned.
In this blog by Envirox, we get a lot of questions about post construction cleaning and its benefits, and we have put together a blog to help our customers understand this better. Read on further to know more about it.
Why Cleaning Post Construction is More Than Just Removing Dust
Post construction cleaning is not just vacuuming and wiping down surfaces, but a lot more than that. Professionals will clean all the almost invisible particles, primarily cement dust, sanding dirt and gypsum dust that have settled into AC vents, under light fixtures, behind switch plates and along ceiling ledges during construction. The cleaners use proper tools and techniques to remove dried grout, paint drops, and tile adhesive because they harden quickly and cannot be removed using a regular household cleaner.
Hidden Risks of Leaving Construction Dust and Debris Behind
When there is construction dust left behind, the fine particles get drawn into the AC systems and end up in the ductwork. Over time, that will cause filters to get clogged and reduce its efficiency, leading to increased energy consumption and repairs and replacements. Dust gets inside drawers, cabinets and closets and will not go away easily. A house that appears to be clean on the surface, will have a lot of dust that will be hidden to the eye.
How Post Construction Residue Can Affect Indoor Air Quality
Leaving construction dust and debris have their own risks because they can lead to respiratory issues. Some people are allergic to saw dust. Construction dust can be very small, and will linger in your space for a much longer period than most people think. This will affect the indoor air quality and this is the air you will continue to breathe.
The Impact on New Fixtures, Flooring, Glass And Finishes
New fixtures get damaged easily if you don’t clean the dirt and debris. Marble could get scratches if the cleaning is done in an improper manner. Fresh paint can lose its shine if you use too harsh chemicals. Water spotting and fingerprints will show up on the stainless steel surface if the fixtures are not cleaned and polished properly.
Paint splatter, plaster residue or protective stickers on windows and glass have to be carefully removed or else they will leave behind a sticky film. The film can become dusty and worn out in a few days.
Why Incomplete Cleaning Can Delay Property Handover or Occupancy
A clean property is important to developers and property managers. A space that’s not cleaned properly will not be attractive to buyers and tenants. While the space has to look like new it cannot smell or look like a construction site. Once the property is thoroughly cleaned, it will start looking squeaky clean and feeling fresh too. Professionals will do a final inspection and ensure there is no more dirt or dust on the vents, windows and glass before leaving the place.
How Professional Cleaning Minimizes Risks
Expert Post construction cleaning is the right solution for this because the experts do HEPA filtered vacuuming and air scrubbing to do a thorough cleaning. Instead of blowing fine particles into the air, these equipment actually capture fine particles.
What to Expect From a Professional Post Construction Cleaning Service
Professional cleaning embraces a methodical process for cleaning the property. As a first step, they will remove all large debris and most of the loose dust. Next comes a deep technical cleaning that is suitable to each space – kitchens, bathrooms and high touch surfaces. This will be followed by polishing of the floor and fixtures. Finally, air scrubbers are used to remove any remaining fine particles in the air. This methodical approach will clean the floors, vents, ceilings and cabinets. There are no shortcuts; everything will be done carefully leaving no stain, scratch or clogged vent.
