Many commercial cleaning companies provide construction cleaning services for both commercial and residential locations. Most construction companies subcontract their construction cleaning to these companies because they don't have the equipment and supplies needed for this type of cleaning. Also, most construction workers don't have the attention to detail that cleaning companies have, so they're better off sub-contracting this part of the project. When just getting started in construction cleaning, many companies don't realize just how much work is involved in getting a building or home ready for occupancy. Here are the basic steps needed to perform construction cleaning: 1. Remove large debris, putting it into the dumpster on the site. 2. Sweep or use a heavy duty vacuum or back pack vacuum to remove construction dust and smaller debris, starting high and working your way down. 3. Dust or wipe down surfaces such as walls, door frames, ledges, stair rails, etc. 4. Start wet cleaning - bathrooms, kitchens, countertops and any other areas that to be cleaned with cleaning chemicals like all-purpose cleaners, stainless steel cleaners or window cleaners. Remove stickers from fixtures and clean the insides of cabinets and drawers. 5. Clean windows and window frames. You may need additional tools to remove drywall mud and stickers. Be careful when cleaning windows, as they are easily scratched. 6. Sweep or vacuum hard floor surfaces and wet mop, making sure all drywall mud and paint is removed. Some flooring may need additional service. For example, VCT tile may need the factory finish stripped off and a new finish put on. 7. Detail vacuum the carpet, including all edges. Also remove all drywall mud and paint. Some carpet may need to be professionally cleaned if the contractors didn't provide enough protection from dirt and debris. 8. Walk through the space, touching up any areas that need it. Copyright (c) The Janitorial Store (TM)
