How to Clean After a Renovation
Standard vacuums just blow the dust around. Here is the pro method.
Construction dust is not like normal household dust. It is made of fine silica particles that are harmful to breathe and can ruin electronics. If you try to clean it with a standard domestic vacuum, you will just push the dust back into the air.
1. Use HEPA Filtration
You need a vacuum with a HEPA filter to trap the microscopic dust particles. Standard vacuums lack the filtration to capture them.
2. Clean Top-to-Bottom
Always start at the ceiling and work down. Clean ceiling corners and light fittings first, then walls and skirting boards, and finally the floors.
3. Tackle Paint Splashes Early
Paint and plaster splashes are much harder to remove once they set. Use a professional scraper and appropriate solvent early.
4. Clean Vents and Radiators
Dust gets trapped in radiator fins and vents. Use a brush attachment to remove it.
