Remodeling your home is an excellent way to modernize its appearance and improve its functionality. Yet, it’s also notoriously messy. To maximize the enjoyment of your new space, you can perform some simple cleaning steps that will address any dust or construction debris generated during the project. From streamlining trash disposal with a dumpster rental to ensuring air purity post-construction, here are some practical remodeling cleanup tips to follow.

A Guide to Post-Remodel Cleaning

1. Invest in a Dumpster Rental

Your home will likely be left with a heaping pile of construction materials that you’ll need to dispose of. To save yourself the hassle of having to make multiple trips to the landfill, schedule a dumpster rental. The convenience afforded by this solution will allow you to focus on cleaning and then enjoying your remodeled area.

2. Clean the Walls

You’re likely to find your walls looking a bit grimy after dust and debris have been kicked up. To achieve a spotless shine, clean the walls and molding. Walls with fresh coats of paint should only be dusted when they’re fully dry, but walls with old paint can be gently wiped with a wet cloth.

3. Vacuum Instead of Sweeping

Even if you don’t have rugs or carpets, use your vacuum’s hard floor setting instead of sweeping. Using a broom will only kick up more dust, allowing it to settle on your surfaces. Vacuuming, on the other hand, sucks everything up.

4. Wipe & Clean Surfaces

In addition to the walls, every surface in your home is likely to have some dust on it. While you may have used drop cloths or plastic sheets to keep furniture protected, you could still find buildup clinging to light fixtures, shelves, and other surfaces. Dust these off to prevent grime from caking on.

5. Change Air Filters

Now is also an ideal time to change your air filters, as they will have accumulated a fair amount of sawdust and other construction materials. Not only will this help to support indoor air purity, but it will also prevent your HVAC system from having to work harder.
