Construction Clean up is the most important step in the evolution of a clean house.
Why?
Because you could be stuck with mistakes made by an inexperienced or inefficient cleaner.
If you have ever lived in an older house that still has old labels on the toilets, scratches on the floors or windows or just hired a cleaner who did a lousy job on your brand new house than you will know what I am talking about! Construction Cleaning is more than just a fast vacuum and a quick mopping. Walls need to be dry dusted (ceilings and crown moldings too!). Window sills need to be dusted, vacuumed and wiped. The same applies to cupboards and sinks.
Labels (windows and vanities) need to be taken off correctly (more about this in a subsequent entry). Check with the contractor to make sure final inspections are done before removing labels. Once the dust settles the floor can be vacuumed a few times until there is no evidence of dust. Vacuuming also means getting down on your hands and knees and cornering, edging and closet tracking. Any paint, caulking or glue spots can be removed. This is a careful, meticulous procedure that if not done correctly will result in unsightly gashes to your floors, windows and vanities. Vanities (bathtubs, showers can be scrubbed). Check drains first and pull putty and garbage out before using them! Then and only then would the floor be mopped.

Construction Cleanup!
A remodel can be just the thing to give your business a face lift and get it jump started with a fresh look. The new design and fixtures can really change the feel of your office space and give your clients the impression that your company is professional and modern.
There is one part of a remodel that you don't often think about that needs to be taken care of before you can enjoy the fruits of the process. That is the post-construction clean-up. If you have already had help from commercial cleaning services, they may offer post-construction cleanup or you may be able to request some special tidying during and after the process is complete.
If you do not have this service and do not really have plans to hire one, you may still want to consider hiring a cleaning company for a one-time job of clearing your office from top to bottom after construction is done.
What This Can Do For You
Perhaps the main hygienic issue during and after a remodel is dust. Dirt from the construction can get everywhere and in anything, even if you have tried to carefully protect certain areas with plastic covers. Those dust particles can also be flying around and wreaking havoc on the lungs of employees at your business.
A cleaning crew could be very useful in dusting and sweeping and wiping down the entire office, including corners, walls, baseboards, and hard to reach crevices of the building, both during and after the construction.
Other crucial areas to be cleared after a remodel are the bathrooms and eating/kitchen areas. Dust and grime can pile up in these rooms and need to sour to get into usable condition again. Besides wiping down surfaces and disinfecting, any tile in these rooms is usually in need of special cleaning to scrub out the dirt from the grout.
