With an increase in home renovations and new builds, the requirement for builders cleans, or after builders clean has increased two-fold.
But what are builders clean, and how do you know if you need one?
When we talk about general domestic cleaning, this can be thought of as a regular, light clean, carried out in a domestic property regularly.
Whereas builders clean is what is classified as a thorough clean carried out at the end of a building project, i.e., an intensive clean of your premises once all building work has finished.
Dirt and dust can get into the unlikeliest places; however, with Clear Choice’s years of experience, we know all the tricks of the trade!
When we start to look at what is included in a builder’s clean in more depth, it’s best if we start at the very beginning.
Builders Clean Definition
A builders clean is a specific type of cleaning service that is provided after home construction or home renovations have taken place.
These are one-off detailed cleans, covering every inch of your home if required.
The building, and any kind of construction work, for that matter, is a messy job. From plasterers to bricklayers, painters, and more, a certain amount of mess, dirt, and debris can soon start to build up.
Typically, at the end of any building work, a clean will be scheduled to ensure that the new property or refurb is presentable and looking as good as it should.
Areas included in a builder’s clean include:
- Windows and windowsills
- Skirting boards
- Carpets and flooring
- Ceilings
- Dust and debris removed
- Odours removed
Professional cleaners in this capacity work effectively, efficiently, and to a very high standard.
Builders Cleaning Services, Huddersfield
Builders clean must be carried out when all work is complete, and all tradespeople and materials are no longer in the property. This means all rubbish and debris should be removed before the clean gets underway.
Floors should be vacuumed, mopped, and polished where appropriate, and carpets (if they haven’t been protected) should be treated and washed.
All shelves and surfaces will require wiping down, with all cupboards, inside and out, cleaned thoroughly. Mirrors, frames, light fittings, etc., will all need polishing, as unfortunately, dust does linger in the air before settling – hence re-cleans and another quick once over may also be required.
Windows should be cleaned using a microfibre cloth to ensure a smear, streak-free shine.
Externally, fascias and gutters on new builds will be washed down, with driveways and paths swept clear.
