Post-Renovation Cleanup Tips For Your Business
If you’re planning an office renovation or construction project, you may feel overwhelmed with all you have to accomplish.
You have to find a good contractor and come up with a budget and timeline. And then you have to figure out how employees can continue to do their jobs effectively while renovations are taking place. You might even have to find an alternate office location for a period of time in order to avoid closing.
One thing you may have neglected to plan for: the post-renovation cleanup. You might assume that your contractor will take care of that for you, but this depends on the terms of your contract. In some cases, a thorough post-construction cleanup may add a significant amount to your bill.
What’s the best way to approach a post-renovation cleanup? Here are our tips.
Hiring a Post-Renovation Cleanup Service
Whether you take on the cleaning yourself or hire a professional to do it for you, you’ll need to include the cost of a post-renovation deep clean in your budget for the project. The cost may range between $300 and $1200, depending on the size of your office.
Post-Renovation Cleanup Checklist
A post-renovation checklist must include the following steps:
● Cleaning up any stains or spots from paint or caulking residue
● Washing walls and door frames
● Cleaning glass doors and windows with a squeegee
● Vacuuming dust from HEPA filters and vents
Using the Right Vacuum
Make sure that someone vacuums with a HEPA vacuum cleaner at the end of every workday. If you don’t own one, consider renting one or asking if your contractor would be able to get one.
Protecting Your Furniture
Don’t forget to vacuum all furniture and upholstery before cleaning carpets to eliminate any lingering dust.
