How to clean the apartment after repair and not kill it all day

After the repair is completed in the apartment, the no less “fascinating" stage begins - cleaning. This process is greatly simplified if repairs were carried out by a construction team from a specialized company. Its employees themselves will take out the garbage, wet the premises and arrange furniture. The owners will only have minor work.

If the repair was done on your own, you can quickly clean the apartment in two ways - invite the cleaning company employees or take the help of relatives and friends.

In order not to waste extra time cleaning the apartment after the repair, you need to prepare for this before it even starts. Avoid cleaning furniture and other objects from dust and debris by wrapping them in plastic wrap.

Doors and their openings should also be wrapped with packaging film. Window frames and glass are pasted over with film from the inside of the premises. So they will suffer less from dust and spray mortars. If replacement of the flooring is not planned, a similar operation should be done with the floors.

After the repair is completed, cleaning begins with dust removal. To do this, you can rent a construction vacuum cleaner. Its main advantage is the presence of a powerful air filtration system. Unlike household models, after the operation of such an instrument, dust is not re-released into the air. Vacuuming not only the floors, but also the walls and ceilings.

If it is not possible to use a construction vacuum cleaner, you can do with a brush or a broom, which should be periodically moistened with water during operation. So the dust does not rise in the air.

Having collected the main garbage, you need to start wet cleaning. At its initial stage, you can use disposable napkins so as not to wash them from dirt. Cleaning begins with window and doorways. Before removing the protective film from them, wipe off the bulk of the settled dust with a damp cloth or napkin. The protective flooring must be folded up carefully and disposed of with the leftover debris. The film with which the furniture was sheltered is also thoroughly wiped from dust. Upholstered furniture after installation in place of vacuuming.

If mortars or paints still get on some surfaces, they are carefully removed with a spatula or solvent. Windows, doors and floors in the apartment are washed several times with rags. In this case, often change the water. After a few days, wet cleaning is repeated because the dust suspended in the air again settles on all objects.
