If you’re unhappy with the current state of your home, you might be considering investing in a home or kitchen remodeling project. Doing so will allow you to create a space that perfectly suits your needs, both functionally and aesthetically. While the end results are more than worth the time and effort, many people are frustrated by the mess the actual process takes. Luckily, the following proactive tips will keep your home as clean as possible throughout the renovations.

How to Keep the Mess Out of Your Home & Kitchen Remodeling

1. Seal Off Unaffected Areas

Most home remodeling projects focus on one area of the house at a time. For example, you might be fine with how your living room looks, but you want to update your kitchen. To keep your house free of dust, dirt, and debris, seal off any areas that won’t be worked on while the work is being done.

If you have any doors to those spaces, keep them closed and place a barrier between the door frame and the floor. If you can’t close a door, consider taping plastic around the entry to that room to block it off. 

2. Put Down Tarps

If your home remodeling project is going to involve painting, staining, or installing fixtures, make sure the contractors put tarps down on the floors and furniture before they begin. Not only will this help contain any falling debris, but it will also protect your floors and furniture from getting stained or dirty throughout the process.

3. Consider Staying at a Hotel

Depending on which area of your home is being remodeled, you’ll likely need to access it from time to time. This can lead to dirt transfer from the affected room to other rooms as you survey the work and return to the rest of the house.

To avoid this issue, consider staying at a hotel during the most work-intensive part of the project, particularly for bigger remodeling jobs. You can ask your contractor to send you pictures of updates so you remain in the know about what’s going on.
