If you’ve just had your home renovated, there will probably be a lot of mess to clear away before you can move back in, and as is the case with most contractors, tidying up after their work is done, isn’t included in their contract!
Many homeowners choose to hire a professional cleaning service to get their home hygienically clean following any kind of renovation work, as it saves them the time and hassle of doing it themselves, and gives them the peace of mind that everything is truly clean and the home is safe to live in. In fact, this is the single most effective way to get you quickly back inside your newly renovated home.
Here are just a few reasons why hiring a professional cleaning service to get your home clean and tidy following a renovation, is a smart idea:
Safety
Without a proper post renovation clean-up, you might injure yourself on hazardous waste that’s been left lying around, or make yourself sick from being exposed to dust, debris and other harmful materials exposed within the property. Professional cleaners don’t just know how to efficiently and effectively tackle post-renovation cleaning, but they also have all the right gear and tools to do it safely.
Efficiency
As touched upon briefly above, professional cleaners use systematic methods to ensure that newly renovated homes are safe and clean enough to be lived in, and typically follow the steps below:
- Remove dust and bacteria from all surfaces using damp, disinfectant cleaning methods
- Clean interiors of cabinets, closets and other storage areas – as you can bet dust and debris will have gotten inside many of them
- Wet mop and disinfect every floor
- Remove and wash vent covers
- Vacuum all carpets
With the right tools and cleaning supplies, a professional cleaning company won’t just get the job done effectively, but they’ll do it in a methodical manner that takes less time than if you were to tackle it yourself.
Lack of liability
If you simply grab the first cleaning product to hand and start washing down walls and floors, for example, you could easily end up damaging your newly renovated home, and be forced to pay out for these mistakes to be corrected. Not only could you cause harm by using the wrong cleaning materials, but your methods may be harmful, too. You may scratch a surface by using a tool that’s too abrasive, or leave marks on a surface that can’t easily be removed.
A professional cleaning company, especially one with experience of post renovation clean-ups, will never make such mistakes, and if they do, the onus will be on them to pay for any corrective measures to be carried out, not you.
After having invested a good chunk of your money on renovating your home, the last thing you want to do is ruin it, or spend days trying to clean it before you can move in. With the help of a professional cleaning service, you won’t have to wait as long to get settled into your new, dream home, and can rest assured that everything has been hygienically cleaned.
