Remodeling can be a messy business. Besides the larger scraps from removing old features and building new ones, dust from wood and drywall can float through your home, landing on surfaces far from the site of your project. Construction cleanup can be daunting in a residence, but there are steps you can take to make it easier on yourself.

How to Make Construction Cleanup Stress-Free

1. Clean as You Go

The more sawdust that piles up at the remodeling site, the more likely it is to get tracked to other areas. You can't do a deep clean every day during the project, but do what you can to tidy up. Sweep up as much of the excess dust as you can at least once a day.

2. Contain the Mess

First, move as many of your belongings as you can out of the area being remodeled, and cover anything you can’t move with plastic sheeting or tarps. Then seal off the room from the rest of your home by hanging more sheeting across the entryways.

This won't keep all the dust out, but it will limit the amount that reaches the rest of your home. Finally, if the project involves lots of trips outside to drop off trash or get supplies, cover the path from the remodeling site to the door. 

3. Hire a House Cleaning Service

When you hand this job off to a professional at the end of the project, you can stop worrying about it completely. A cleaning service with experience in construction cleanup is familiar with all the ways the project can dirty your home, and they’ll come armed with supplies, experience, and an efficient process for getting the most thorough clean. Schedule a visit for the day after your project is finished to minimize the stress of remodeling.
