Renovations can bring a lot of excitement, from fresh walls to new floors, but what follows is a less glamorous guest – dust and debris. Post-renovation cleanup can feel overwhelming, but the good news is that with Sweepsouth, it doesn’t have to be.
Here are our tips on dealing with dust and debris
Dust, Dust Everywhere!
The fine dust that clings to every surface post-reno is a master at hiding in plain sight. It settles in places you wouldn’t expect: on window sills, inside cabinets, and even on your light fixtures. Tackling dust properly requires a multi-step approach. Start with the basics – wipe down surfaces, vacuum thoroughly, and don’t forget those hard-to-reach spots.
Pro tip: always use a microfiber cloth for dusting, as it traps particles rather than spreading them around.
Floors First
Post-reno floors are usually the biggest casualty, whether it’s paint splatters, sawdust, or a fine layer of grime. Sweeping first is a must, followed by mopping or vacuuming to tackle the finer dust.
Remember: If you’ve got newly installed hardwood or tiles, use a cleaner recommended for that material to avoid damage.
Clearing the Air
Dust isn’t just on surfaces– it’s in the air, too! A quick way to improve air quality is to clean out your AC filters and run an air purifier for a day or two. It’s a small step that can make a big difference in creating a cleaner, fresher home environment.
