COMPLETED RENOVATIONS? SOME USEFUL TIPS FOR DOMESTIC CLEAN-UP

In addition to renovating your home, cleaning up after all the work has been completed is a tedious and exhausting job. Dust must be removed from all surfaces, including walls, vents, carpets, windows, and horizontal surfaces. Begin from the top down. Wipe the ceilings and walls down with a dry doodle pad. We also recommend that you wear either a filtered mask or a disposable mask so you won't breathe in this fine dust.

With Likecleaning's Adelaide domestic cleaning services, you can minimise your stress levels after your renovations by getting an excellent clean. With our equipment, chemicals, knowledge, and expertise, we can transform your home into a showroom.

•  Tips for cleaning your home after renovations

If, for whatever reason, you don't want a professional cleaning service to clean your house after renovations, then here are a few tips to help you. GOOD LUCK!!

1.       Let a bit of dust collect through the windows by opening all windows and allowing the wind to blow. As well, I recommend removing all fly screens from windows and doors so that dust does not accumulate on them, which would be another chore for you to clean. In order to maintain privacy and security, I would leave it overnight or for about 12 hours.

2.       Then I would dry wipe the ceilings and walls with a doodle pad while wearing a mask. During this process you will have disturbed and agitated this dust, which will float back into the air and fall and settle on horizontal surfaces and carpets. After the dust has settled, I will move on to the next stage. Make sure you vacuum or wipe out air conditioning ducts or vents, otherwise when you turn it on, dust will go over everything you have just cleaned, GRRRRRR!!

3.       When you wipe down surfaces with a duster, you are only displacing dust to settle someplace else. My preferred method is to wipe surfaces with a chemical liquid and microfiber cloth. Pay attention to edges and corners when wiping.

4.    You can either hire a professional window cleaner or do it yourself once you are certain that all the dust has been collected and removed. After that you should vacuum the whole floor. Then, using the three wet mop method, I would mop all hard floors. You should slosh a fair amount of water on stone, concrete, tile, or vinyl floors (you cannot use this method on wooden floors). Your second mopping should be for picking up excess water, and your third mopping should be for drying the floor.

5. Here are just a few areas that may be overlooked- skirting boards, pelmets, fans and blades, light switches, light fixtures, and door surfaces.
