Post-renovation cleaning – step by step

Renovation is a big improvement, but once it’s finished, one major challenge remains – post-renovation cleaning. Construction dust, paint residues, glue or plaster can be very difficult to remove without proper equipment and experience.In this article, we explain step by step what professional post-renovation cleaning looks like and why it’s worth leaving it to specialists.

Why is post-renovation cleaning so demanding?

Post-renovation cleaning is very different from regular home cleaning. It involves:

• fine construction dust floating in the air,

• stains from paint, silicone and mortar,

• dust settling on walls, ceilings and hard-to-reach areas,

• the risk of damaging new surfaces if improper products are used.

That’s why professional post-renovation cleaning requires the right order of work and specialized equipment.

Post-renovation cleaning – step by step

Step 1: Removing waste and protective materialsAt the beginning, the team removes:

• protective foils,

• cardboard,

• leftover construction materials,

• tapes and covers.

This allows access to all surfaces.

Step 2: Removing construction dustThis is one of the most important stages. Construction dust:

• settles on floors, walls, skirting boards and furniture,

• cannot be removed with a standard household vacuum cleaner.

Professional companies use industrial vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters.

Step 3: Cleaning and washing surfacesAll surfaces are thoroughly cleaned:

• floors (panels, tiles, parquet),

• doors, frames and skirting boards,

• window sills,

• furniture and built-in units.

Products are selected according to the surface type to avoid damage.

Step 4: Removing paint, glue and silicone residuesThis stage requires experience. Professionals remove:

• dried paint splashes,

• mounting glue residues,

• silicone and plaster.

Specialized products and tools are used to avoid scratches.

Step 5: Window and glass cleaningAfter renovation, windows are often covered with dust and stains. The service includes:

The duration depends on:

• property size,

• scope of renovation work,

• level of dirt.

On average:

• 40–60 m² apartment: 4–6 hours,
