For any construction contractor, handing over the keys to a newly created or renovated building is the ultimate goal. However, the journey doesn’t end with the completion of construction work. Before the final handover, additional tasks such as thorough cleaning must be undertaken. This comprehensive cleaning process, known as post-construction cleaning, is crucial to ensure the facility is ready for occupancy.

What is Post-Construction Cleaning?

Post-construction cleaning is a specialized service carried out after the construction or renovation of buildings. While contractors may perform a general cleanup, detailed cleaning is not part of their job. This meticulous cleaning process involves removing debris, dust, and stains from every corner of the facility, making it ready for use. Here are some essential cleaning tasks that need to be addressed:

• Removing marks, dirt, and smudges from walls
• Power washing windows and frames
• Removing plastic/stickers from furniture, windows, and doors
• Dusting ceilings, lights, fans, and heaters
• Cleaning and polishing floors, especially edges and corners
• Vacuuming
• Cleaning trims and thresholds
• Cleaning appliances, cabinets, and shelves inside and out
• Proper disposal of trash and debris
• Addressing safety issues, such as loose wires and leaks, with contractors
• Thoroughly checking all spaces, corners, and surfaces after cleaning

The Three Phases of Post-Construction Cleaning

Post-construction cleaning is a multi-phase process, each step essential to achieving a spotless and safe environment.

Phase 1: Rough Clean

The first phase begins after the installation of essential services like electrical wiring, plumbing, and framing. This phase involves the removal of large debris, trash, and leftover construction materials that cannot be vacuumed. General sweeping or vacuuming follows, along with the removal of stickers from doors and windows, but not their cleaning.

Phase 2: Light Clean

This phase involves the most work and requires a variety of cleaning equipment and tools. Special attention is given to areas like restrooms and kitchens. Sinks, toilets, windows, and cabinets are thoroughly cleaned. This phase often necessitates hiring professional cleaning services due to the detailed work required. At Pinkclean, we ensure that the latest and most effective cleaning equipment is used, and air ducts and other inner surfaces are cleaned meticulously. Further cleaning of windows, glass areas, doors, and walls from the first phase is completed here, bringing the project closer to client move-in.

Phase 3: Final Clean

The final or touch-up cleaning phase occurs several days after the second phase, allowing dust and dirt to settle. This brief phase focuses on eliminating smudges, fingerprints, and other imperfections. While it usually takes a shorter time, it is crucial for ensuring the facility is immaculate for handover.

Why Hire Professional Cleaners?

Post-construction cleaning demands time and attention, which can take several days to complete. For construction contractors, managing this task alongside building responsibilities can be overwhelming. Therefore, hiring professional cleaners is advisable. Clients might consider DIY cleaning, but professional services ensure thoroughness and safety, avoiding overlooked areas that can pose health risks.
