How to clean after construction or renovation
The fine dust left after renovation settles on every surface and spreads easily with ordinary sweeping. Working in the right order halves the job.
Safety first
Wear a dust mask and gloves and open the windows. Pick up sharp debris (screws, glass, tile pieces) first. Take care with damp cloths around sockets.
The right order: top to bottom
- Remove rubble and large debris
- Dust ceilings, upper walls and light fittings
- Wipe tops and insides of doors, windows and cupboards
- Remove paint, silicone and sticker residue from glass
- Clear mortar marks from tiles and grout
- Finally clean the floor, dry first, then wet
Why a vacuum isn't enough
Fine construction dust can pass through standard vacuum filters and go back into the air, so it settles again over several days — the job may need two rounds.
When to get professional help
For large areas, heavy paint / mortar residue, or when you need to move in soon, handing after-construction cleaning to a team with supplies and equipment saves time and protects surfaces.

FAQ
Should I clean before the renovation is finished?
A rough clean of heavy dust can help in between; the real clean should be done after all work is finished.
Can paint come off the glass?
Most paint and silicone residue can be removed without damaging the glass; the method depends on the surface.
Do you do the renovation too?
Yes, MyCarePlus also offers renovation and maintenance; you can add the after-renovation cleaning to the same plan.
