After Building Cleaning Tips
Author : Jo Harris
One of the most tedious jobs in the construction process is the after building cleaning that must be done once everything has been finished. Because of this, many commercial cleaning companies provide construction cleaning services for both commercial and residential locations. Many construction companies subcontract their after building cleaning to such companies simply because they do not have the capability, equipment and supplies required for this type of project. Most construction workers also do not have the attention to detail that cleaning companies have, thus it is better to subcontract the after building cleaning.
For those who are starting in the construction business, many companies fail to realize how much work is involved in getting a building or home ready for occupancy. As such, here are the basic steps needed to perform construction cleaning:
1. Take out large debris first. Make sure there is enough empty space to place all of them. If this is not available, hire a skip that will take away the debris from the site.
2. A heavy duty vacuum or back pack vacuum is essential to remove construction dust and smaller debris. Start from the highest area of the building and work your way down to the ground floor.
3. Wipe down surfaces such as walls, door frames, ledges, stair rails, etc.
4. Wet cleaning is important to bathrooms, kitchens, countertops and other areas. They should be cleaned with cleaning chemicals such as all-purpose cleaners, stainless steel cleaners or window cleaners. Stickers should be removed from fixtures and all the insides of cabinets and drawers should be cleaned.
5. Additional tools may be needed to remove drywall mud and stickers. Take extra precaution in cleaning windows as they are easily scratched.
6. Make sure all drywall mud and paint is removed. Sweep or vacuum hard floor surfaces with wet mop. Note that some flooring may need additional service. For example, VCT tile may need the factory finish stripped off and a new finish put on.
7. If the place has carpeting, do a daily vacuuming until the day of the turnover. Some carpets however, may need to be professionally cleaned if the contractors didn't provide enough protection from dirt and debris.
