Renovations in Toronto can be costly, time-consuming, and stressful. Post-renovation relief comes with piles of extra chores. Post-renovation cleaning is harder than you may realise. There are many hidden messes that owners have to deal with before they can start enjoying the new setup.
Renovation companies often leave behind a lot of dust, debris, and scraps of building materials. Very few of these companies conduct thorough cleanups afterwards, and even those that do typically only provide surface-level cleaning, leaving everything else for the owners to handle.
For decades, H&M Maid Inc.‘s professional cleaners have dealt with commercial and residential post-renovation messes. Here’s a list of overlooked cleanup tasks that need to be addressed after a renovation:
Fine Construction Dust
Compact construction material is not hazardous, but leftover drywall particles, sawdust, and minute debris from materials like silica can be very dangerous. These particles can be anywhere around the house.
These fine particles of hazardous dust cause respiratory issues for the residents, workers, and visitors of the renovated area. They also trigger allergies and contribute to long-term air quality issues.
According to the Government of Canada, Occupational Health and Safety, “Silica dust generated during construction activities such as sanding and cutting can cause serious respiratory issues, including silicosis and lung cancer. Proper control measures and thorough cleaning are essential to protect the health of residents and workers”.
Amateur workers typically clean only the visible dirt and trash around the renovated space, whereas professional cleaners thoroughly clean all areas that may have come into contact with construction materials.
The areas that you may miss while self-cleaning are:
1. Air Vents and HVAC Systems
Air vents and HVAC systems accumulate a significant amount of construction dust and debris and require professional cleaning afterward. HVAC systems are complex, containing filters, ducts, ductwork, coils, fans, blowers, and many other small components. All these parts catch construction dust and debris, which significantly impacts the HVAC.
This impacts the air quality and temperature control of the HVAC system. If the HVAC cleaning is ignored for a prolonged period, it starts to affect the appliance’s lifespan.
H&M Maid Inc. has a team of professional HVAC cleaners. We ensure that the system returns to its pre-construction pristine condition.
2. Fans and Fixtures
Dust can accumulate on fans and fixtures around the house. Cleaning them requires professional equipment that cleans without damaging the equipment and fittings.
3. Property Deep Cleaning
This deep cleaning removes dust from behind the baseboards, drawers, cabinets, and windows. Professional deep cleaning requires HEPA-filter vacuums and other advanced equipment to clean hazardous dust thoroughly.
Adhesive Residue and Grime
Adhesive residue is not as dangerous for human health as construction dust, but it can permanently damage other surfaces around the property. Adhesive residue is widely used during construction. These adhesives adhere to surfaces in the construction area, including furniture, carpets, curtains, glass, and walls.
Scrubbing these industrial adhesives off with home tools can damage surfaces and result in expensive handyman repairs.
Professional cleaners use specialized tools and cleaning products to remove grime and adhesive gently. This process takes time, but there are no sticky patches or dull spots after removal. Additionally, properly disposing of adhesives helps prevent environmental pollution and associated health hazards.
Paint Splatter Cleanup
Paint splatters are a very common post-construction issue for property owners. Either paint drops cover surfaces, or patches remain on renovation areas that are not fully covered in paint. We also offer handyman painting services to complete the renovation nicely.
These little details can spoil the final look of a renovated space. Our professional cleaners ensure that your setup’s post-renovation look is flawless.
