After a construction project is complete, there is still a lot of work to do before the area is ready for use. Post-construction cleaning is essential for creating a safe and healthy environment for occupants and visitors. But who is responsible for cleaning up after construction? How should you clean up after construction? When do you need to call in a professional? This article will cover the answers to these questions and explain how Bactronix can help you get your home or business in pristine condition after a construction project.
Who is Responsible for Post-Construction Cleaning?
The contracting company and its employees are typically responsible for the initial cleanup of the area after a project is completed. They should clear the site of materials, waste, and debris, and ensure the area is safe. While any additional cleaning and disinfecting that is needed after the construction company leaves is the responsibility of the home or business owner.
Post-Construction Cleaning Checklist
Once the contractor has completed work in your home or business, it’s time to begin the interior cleaning process. Here is what we recommend you should do post-construction.
- Dust and vacuum – Begin by dusting and vacuuming all surfaces, including floors, walls, ceilings, windows, fixtures, and furniture. For best results, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to capture all dust particles.
- Disinfect surfaces – Wipe down all surfaces to disinfect; this includes countertops, windows, walls, and other surfaces. The right disinfectant will provide safe, effective protection from germs, bacteria, and viruses – and BactroKill does exactly that! BactroKill is our EPA-registered antimicrobial spray disinfectant specifically formulated for both residential and commercial use, and can be applied on any surface.
- Clean air vents and ducts – Having your air ducts professionally cleaned is an important step in ensuring that the air you breathe is clean and free from contaminants. Cleaning your air ducts can help reduce allergens and other airborne pollutants which may be circulating through your home’s ventilation system post-construction.
