In detail: do-it-yourself cleaning after repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Renovation of an apartment is a serious, troublesome, but also pleasant business. The expectation that everything will change, become beautiful and cozy, gives strength. And now it (the renovation) is finished, but there is no more happiness because of the cleaning after the renovation awaits you. Let's face it, dust and dirt, construction waste, residues of paint, mortars, mixtures - all this must be removed from the apartment, taken out and carried out major cleaning. It'll be hard.
If you don’t want to do all this yourself, then shift your worries onto the shoulders of professionals. Any cleaning company will bring your house into proper shape in a few hours. They are actually professionals, specialists in their field, in their arsenal there are only professional equipment and detergents. Plus, you don't have to worry about where to put all the trash. The employees of the company will collect it and take it out.
But you will have to pay for the services of a cleaning company. And if the volume of work carried out is large enough, then you will part with a decent amount from your own wallet. Therefore, many ordinary people decide to clean the apartment themselves after renovation.
As mentioned above, this process is difficult and painstaking. The degree of pollution in different places of the apartment will differ: dust, paint stains, glue drops, etc. cannot be removed with a single wipe of a rag.
Therefore, for each type of pollution, you will have to select a detergent, this must be done carefully. Make a mistake with the selection - damage some surface. For example, remove paint or ruin the wallpaper.
Cleaning after renovation is divided into several stages.

First, you will need to remove debris and building materials.
Further, deep cleaning of surfaces consisting of hard materials is carried out.
Windows and doors are cleaned.
So, we begin to remove the garbage after the repair. First, we note that when carrying out this type of work, the rules and safety requirements must be observed. Be sure to wear protective gloves on your hands and secure footwear on your feet. Sharp and cutting objects will surely be among the debris. Put all the trash in bags, and be sure to sort it. It may turn out that it will contain the necessary items or tools.
Garbage bags must be disposed of in a landfill. You cannot put it in the garbage bins, you will get an impressive fine. And if there is a lot of garbage, then you will have to make several trips in your own car. True, you can use the services of a car cleaning company.
The second step is to remove hard surfaces. These are the floor, shelving and furniture tops. Please note that it is with flooring materials that big problems can arise. For example, laminate and linoleum must not be subjected to mechanical stress. Traces of hard brushes or other hard devices instantly form on them. Therefore, only a rag or sponge.
But at the very beginning, you need to collect dust. It is she who is the most difficult pollution in such a process as cleaning after repairs. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of it by all available means. The best option is to use a vacuum cleaner. But if there is a lot of dust in the premises, then this unit will not help. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out preliminary collection. How?
It is necessary to moisten the floor with water (there should be a little water so that streaks do not form), then use a broom to collect dust into lumps that easily collect. After that, you need to give time to the surface to dry, then you can walk on it with a vacuum cleaner.Dust on the walls is collected only by the device. Particular attention must be paid to corners, crevices, for this it is best to use a flat nozzle.
Let's move on to the third stage. The difficulty of cleaning and washing windows is that it is not always possible to clean them from the outside on your own. If your apartment, for example, is on the 13th floor, then it will be unsafe to perform all these operations. So in this case, the services of a cleaning company will have to be used. But from the inside, it is not difficult to clean and clean windows and window sills after repairs. To do this, use glass detergents. You will find instructions for use on the label.
With the doors, in principle, everything is the same. Here it is important to wipe the dust, and clean the dirt with detergents. As practice shows, ordinary soap solution is sufficient for these purposes.
It would seem that this is the end of the cleaning after the renovation. I guess, yes. But you will have to wipe down all surfaces again, removing dust. You can do without a vacuum cleaner here. Use soft rags, fluffy brushes, the main thing is that you need devices that would not negatively affect objects, furniture and surfaces. Pay special attention when removing dust on chandeliers, lamps, heating radiators and their screens. Here you will have to work hard, because these objects have a complex shape, where dust gets clogged into all the cracks and corners.
VIDEO And the final process is a complete wet cleaning of the apartment after renovation. Tip - start with the bathroom and toilet. These small tiled rooms will require disinfection. Make sure to do it.
Ceramic tiles are best cleaned with a special tile foam. It removes traces of silicone, putty and tile adhesives well.
It is best to wipe wood coatings with polish.
It is recommended to clean the flooring with turpentine, thinner or talcum powder. Manufacturers offer their own cleaning products for each floor material. Take advantage of them.
After repair, plastic frames must be cleaned with special compounds that will not damage their surfaces and leave no traces.
So, to summarize. It is not easy to clean the rooms of an apartment after renovation with your own hands. This will require not only effort and time, but also a little money. The savings are still big, but the laboriousness of the work carried out will make you sweat. So tune in for real work.

After the completion of the renovation, not many owners of the renovated dwelling arrange a holiday, and this is not surprising. Debris, dirty flooring and windows spoil the whole experience. No matter how carefully you carry out the repair, it will not be possible to avoid traces of paint, construction glue and cement. The new apartment is covered with dust, which gets even in hard-to-reach places. The hostesses clutch their heads, not knowing what to do. We have developed step-by-step instructions for you to help you clean up in a short time.
Before heading out for spring cleaning, you need to take care of the available tools that you need.
It is better to leave this stage to the male half of the family, since the procedure is quite complicated and physically difficult. Prepare plastic bags, gloves and old clothes.
The most common types of stains are stains from paint, glue, plaster, cement and other materials on hard surfaces. Also, many housewives are exhausted, wanting to clean the house of dust.
To remove dust, it is advisable to blow out all the cracks, and then collect the remains with a professional washing vacuum cleaner. The device can be rented from a cleaning company. If this is not possible, collect the remains with a broom, walk over the surface with a regular vacuum cleaner. Preliminary wrap the brush with wet gauze folded in several layers.
If you are picking up residual dust with a broom, do not swing it violently. Be sure to protect the respiratory tract as a thick cloud forms in the room. Vacuuming affects not only the flooring, but all hard surfaces. These include walls, windows, window sills, doors, ceilings. Of course, you cannot cope with one approach. The first stage is rough, the second is finishing.
After cleaning hard surfaces with a washing vacuum cleaner, arm yourself with a bucket and a mop. Be sure to use a detergent formulated specifically for your flooring. It will not leave streaks and will help to completely get rid of dust residues. For wall cleaning, use regular vinegar.
After removing the dust, it is necessary to clean the floor and plumbing from building mixtures that have stained the coating during the repair process. You can use an industrial solvent for these purposes; it effectively removes traces from any materials.
There are also folk recipes. For example, if you find traces of paint on the floor or walls, soak a rag in kerosene and scrub the surface thoroughly. The composition will soften the stain after 5 minutes, you may need to repeat the procedure.
Glue on linoleum or laminate can be easily removed with White Spirit degreaser. It is enough to moisten an old rag in it, apply a rag to the glue line and leave for 10 minutes. After the expiration date, the mixture will soften, you can easily remove it with a clean cloth.
Never try to clean porcelain stoneware flooring with alkaline or chlorine products. Acids break down the top layer, as a result of which the floor loses its shine. Do not try to scrub hardwood or laminate flooring with abrasive products, they will scratch the wood and wear away the varnish.
Wash the window and door frames with plain water mixed with table vinegar (2 liters of water accounts for 0.5 liters of the composition). Then clean the entire doors using detergents. Then wipe dry so that no streaks remain.
It is not difficult to clean an apartment after renovation if you follow the step-by-step instructions. Take care of tools, remove debris, clean tiles. Remove dust and traces of finishing materials, wash doors and windows.
VIDEO In order to quickly clean an apartment after renovation, it is important to properly prepare for the repair itself and remove the bulk of the dirt in the form of debris and construction dust after each stage of work.
Construction dust easily penetrates everywhere, even into closed cabinets and bedside tables, sticks to window panes and frames, and spreads to rooms where no work is being carried out.
To reduce the volume of future cleaning, all things are removed from the premises where renovation is planned (they are put in boxes and sealed with tape), curtains, carpets and other textiles, indoor plants, compact household appliances.
Upholstered and cabinet furniture, large household appliances are taken out of the room. If you do not plan to change the floor covering, the furniture may not be removed, but it must be reliably protected from dust and dirt.
To do this, use a wide construction stretch film - it is wrapped in several layers of furniture items, placing foam rubber or folded fabric at the corners so that the film does not break. It is advisable to unscrew the handles of cabinets and bedside tables.
For the duration of the repair, it is recommended to close the doorways of all rooms (and not only the one in which it is supposed to be drilled or painted) with a thick cloth or film, securing the canvases so as to cover the cracks along the perimeter of the door leaf.
In the working area, the doorway is closed with a cloth curtain, which should be regularly removed and rinsed in cool water - dust settles better on a damp cloth, as a result, its concentration in the air decreases and there is less risk that it will penetrate into neighboring rooms. If a film is used, two panels are fixed with an overlap of 20-25 cm.
It is recommended to cover the glass of windows with stretch film, otherwise it will be difficult to wash them later from the settled dust. Such a film adheres tightly to the glass without additional fasteners. Each sash is individually protected with a layer of foil, so that during the work the windows are opened for ventilation.
The floor is covered with a dense film to protect it from mechanical damage, contact with paint, dirt or aggressive substances. But if during the repair "wet" processes are envisaged, it is important to ensure that moisture does not accumulate under the film, which can spoil the parquet or laminate.
Work associated with the formation of a large amount of dust is carried out with open windows only in warm seasons and calm weather. In this case, a noticeable part of the dust will leave the room without flying through it under the gusts of wind. It is required to work in a respirator, since construction dust is harmful to the respiratory system.
Dusty work includes removing plaster, cleaning plastered or putty surfaces, drilling. When drilling, it is recommended to use a construction vacuum cleaner in order to immediately collect dust that falls from under the drill.
Also for this purpose, special dust-collecting nozzles are suitable - a small plastic container is attached to the drill nozzle. You can also use a regular scoop, placing it just below the hole to be drilled. If there is no assistant, glue the "pocket" glued from thick paper with masking tape to the wall.
When removing old coatings, the surface is sprayed with water so that as little dust as possible gets into the air. This applies to the removal of whitewash and plaster, old wallpaper.
After completing dusty work, use a spray bottle - the water sprayed into the air will beat the dust, preventing it from scattering throughout the house. Spraying water removes suspended and non-settling dust from the air.
Before you clean the apartment after the repair with your own hands, you should take care of the tools, inventory, consumables that will be required in the process. These include:
construction vacuum cleaner;
a water container (bucket or basin) with a volume of about 10 liters;
rags (a large amount of rags or microfiber napkins);
foam sponges;
scraper and brush;
broom or brush on a long handle + scoop;
spray for water.
Please note: when cleaning dust, the windows in the room must be closed.Before proceeding to this stage, the tool and the remnants of materials that may be useful in the future should be removed from the room, and all the construction waste accumulated during the work should be collected and loaded into bags.
The main question is how to remove dust after repair, since it easily rises into the air and settles for a long time. It is pointless to sweep the building dust with a dry broom - its main part will be in the air.
Therefore, the broom is moistened with water, like the surface of a dusty floor. With gentle movements, dust and water pellets are swept off the tiles, linoleum or plastic wrap protecting the floor covering.
This method will not help for removing dust from hard-to-reach places, from laminate or parquet flooring. For these purposes, it is recommended to use a construction vacuum cleaner - it is distinguished from household models by its increased power and a plastic dust collector that does not let the smallest dust back into the air, is easily cleaned and washed.
A construction vacuum cleaner is an expensive technique, but it can be rented for cleaning. Instead of a specialized unit, a household unit is used if it has sufficient power, and a plastic container or a paper bag serves as a dust collector. A fabric dust collector is dust-permeable, so using it will lead to serious problems.
All vertical and horizontal surfaces, including the ceiling, are vacuum cleaned. Pay special attention to skirting boards, door frames, crevices. Such places are vacuumed using a narrow slotted nozzle that provides maximum suction power.
If there is furniture packed in foil in the room, all dust should also be removed from it and from under it. If the floor is covered with a thick film, it is carefully rolled up so that nothing spills onto the floor covering.
To clean an apartment after renovation, you will need a lot of rags or disposable napkins - at the first stage it is easier to throw them away than to rinse them out. Wet cleaning starts from vertical surfaces - wipe window and door blocks, walls - if the finish is moisture resistant.
Then wipe the rest of the dust from the film that packs the furniture and remove it. After removing the remnants of the packaging, they start washing the floor and baseboards.
If linoleum or tiles were not covered with a film, traces of glue, paint, working solutions may remain on them. They are removed with a scraper and a sponge. Some paint marks require the use of a suitable solvent.
In the process of cleaning, napkins or rags are well rinsed in a large amount of water at room temperature. The water in the container should be changed frequently and the surfaces should be rinsed several times.
It is not enough to clean up once after the repair - the smallest dust will continue to settle from the air on all surfaces for several days. Repeat wet mopping every day for the first week.
To remove the smell after renovation, use an ozonizer or provide constant ventilation. Alternative methods will also help:
the smells are well absorbed by the terry towels hung on the radiators;
candles burning for several hours burn out a pair of paints and varnishes made on flammable solvents from the air;
coffee beans roasted in a pan cleanse the air of unpleasant odors and fill it with a pleasant aroma;
in the room you can place containers with an adsorbent - charcoal or soda.
A competent approach to cleaning will help to bring the renovated apartment into perfect shape in a short time.

However, after all the dirty work, a different impression is created. Everywhere there is dust, dirt and debris that has yet to be removed. Everyone should know how to clean an apartment after renovation. After all, sooner or later, this fate will affect everyone.
Finally, the tiles were installed, new doors and windows were installed. However, it is too early to glue wallpaper and furniture. First you need to clean the room.
It seems easy and simple to clean the apartment after renovation. But, this is far from the case.
Armed with only a broom, a bucket and rags, you will not be able to carry out a general cleaning and remove white plaque from surfaces. This will not help, although most people spend it this way, but it takes a long time and all the dust gets into the lungs.
A household vacuum cleaner should not be used to remove construction waste. Not only will it fail to suck in all the dust, but it can also break.
You won't be able to wash the floors with plain water and a rag. They will still have divorces even after a dozen procedures.
Cleaning tiles and ceramic coatings with water is also not an option. They will leave stains, spoiling the whole look.
For cleaning the apartment after renovation, you should buy special compounds in order to quickly put the room in order.
Do-it-yourself apartment cleaning is dusty. For work, you will need to put on old things, which will go to the trash at the end of everything.
You should also buy gloves, a respirator and goggles. It will not hurt to cover your head with a scarf.
Where to begin? All building materials and tools used in the process should be laid out in places.
Their place is in the pantry or garage. However, first, take a rag and a bucket of water, add some dish detergent, and wipe down all the tools. During the repair, a lot of dust has probably accumulated on them.
If the leftover materials are no longer needed, take them to the garage or storage room too. They may come in handy in the future.
Another option for the disposal of building materials is to offer it to relatives, friends or neighbors, or put it next to the trash can. Perhaps someone will need them.
Then clear the room of debris. Buy bags for him at a hardware store, just do not take plastic bags, you cannot put much in them - they will quickly tear. But polypropylene can be reused, for example, you can put firewood in them.
Entrust this work to the male half of the family. After all, you still have to wash the whole room, and possibly the apartment from dust and dirt.
Large construction waste should not be disposed of in the waste container. You need to call a car that is engaged in the removal of construction waste or take it yourself to a landfill.
Then take care of cleaning up small particles. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner, not just an ordinary one, but a construction one. It is not necessary to buy such a vacuum cleaner; many cleaning companies rent it.
So that less dust settles on all surfaces in the apartment, they should be covered with plastic wrap. If this is not done, it will be difficult to remove it.
The importance of preventive measures is worth remembering. Indoor plants, curtains and furniture, paintings and mirrors should be removed from the room.
If bulky furniture cannot be taken out of the room, then cover it with sheets or plastic wrap. Use any rags to keep as little dust as possible on the surfaces.
Unfortunately, nothing will be able to close the tile, and a white bloom will still appear. The smallest particles can scratch it if it is not cleaned correctly.
Before starting wet cleaning, dry cleaning should be carried out. Take a construction vacuum cleaner and walk over the surface. For this purpose, you can also use a dry cloth.
This will remove the main dirt. If there are any cured finishing materials, try scraping it off. For these purposes, a spatula is used, but not a metal one. You can also use a razor blade, just be careful as it may scratch the finish.
You can quickly clean the tiles with the following tools:
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to a bucket of water. The water will remove the remaining dust, and the lemon will give the surface a shine. The tiles will also smell like citrus and freshen the air in the room.
Add 2 cups of vinegar to 10 liters of water. When cleaning the tiles, wear gloves. The vinegar removes any dirt and makes the surface shiny.
Buy Mister Muscle. Glass cleaner can be used after washing the surface with plain water, otherwise streaks will remain.
It is easier to clean the tiles from construction dust than to remove the adhesive solution or primer from it. For these purposes, you will have to use more aggressive components. For example, acetone, a special solvent based remover or remove residues mechanically.
How to clean construction dust from sofas and armchairs? Unlike tiles, walls and ceilings, you cannot redeem them completely in water, since upholstered furniture dries for a long time and may deteriorate altogether. In addition, after using water, you will have to wipe off the stains for a long time.
You can only use a vacuum cleaner if you have a water filter. Otherwise, after a couple of minutes of operation, it will overheat and may burn out.
So, for cleaning after repairs with your own hands, you will need a remedy such as citric acid or vinegar. Dilute lemon in water, in a ratio of 1: 2, or 1: 1. The more concentrated the solution, the faster the white bloom will disappear.
Pour the composition into a spray bottle and test how the furniture will react to this solution. If the test goes well, spray it all over the furniture. Wash off the residue with a damp cloth, do not use too much water.
You can also use carpet cleaners, just take industrial reagents in the form of foam. It is better not to use the liquid, it quickly penetrates the tissue and takes a long time to be removed. You will have to use a lot of water.
It will be possible to wash off construction dust, plaster and paint from glass using professional reagents or folk remedies.
First, remove the foam, glue and plaster with a spatula. Proceed with caution, this surface is easily scratched.
Window frames are washed with Silin Beng, Santina, Mister Proper or Domestos. From folk remedies, table vinegar, nail polish remover or ammonia are used. The first agent is diluted with water, others are used in a concentrated form.
For the glasses themselves, it is recommended to use the same Mister Muscle, Sif, Wedge, Help, Secunda and a drug called "Ecover".
Each product effectively removes stubborn dirt. They are applied with a spray gun to glass and wiped with a cloth, then polished to a shine with a newspaper.
do not use kitchen iron brushes;
do not buy powdered products;
do not use sharp knives and metal spatulas;
do not use fabrics that leave fluff on the surface;
all manipulations with professional chemistry should be carried out with a mask and gloves;
do not wash windows when exposed to direct sunlight.
Every person carrying out repairs in an apartment should know how to properly wash the windows afterwards, so as not to damage the glass and not scratch the plastic.
Cleaning after renovation is not difficult, but laborious work. After all, the doorways and the doors themselves have to be washed as well.
They are usually dark in color, which means the dust is very visible. We often repair something in apartments, drill and hang shelves, and all the dirt settles on the furniture.
Cleaning doors is just as difficult as cleaning furniture. Therefore, it is easier to spend a little, and seal the doors and openings with plastic wrap, than to look for how to do cleaning in order to wipe off all the dust in the house.
You can wipe it off with the help of Emzal. It is specially designed for dissolving construction waste.
From folk remedies, we wash white plaque from the door in the following ways:
Sunflower oil. Just rub the door and openings with it. Only without fanaticism. Soak a cotton pad or kitchen sponge in sunflower oil and apply a thin layer on them.
Dissolve the salt in a bucket of water. Wash all doors in the apartment with this solution. The white bloom will disappear and there will be no streaks.
Experienced cleaners advise adding transformer oil to the water. Vegetable leaves sticky traces after itself, but transformer does not.
If you still cannot remove the white streaks, paint it. This method will surely solve all problems.
Cleaning starts from the ceiling. Regardless of the complexity and amount of dust, it is carried out in several stages.
First, go over the ceiling, walls and floor with a broom, remove the main dust.
Then take a mop and wet rag and wipe them down. This will also remove it from surfaces.
Then the second stage of washing. A cleaning agent is added to the water and the surfaces are wiped with it. Wooden flooring is washed out with ammonia or any acidic agent that is diluted with water.
They buy professional chemicals for parquet. Dilute 100 ml of the product in a bucket of water, wash the rag well and wipe the floor well.
Linoleum is washed with a washing vacuum cleaner, vegetable oil, and kitchen salt with dishwashing detergent.
White plaque is removed from the floor tiles with special ceramic products. Dilute with water in accordance with the instructions.
It is possible to wash off construction dust after repairs from the surface of the floor, walls and ceiling. For flooring only, the chemistry should be chosen depending on its type.
Contamination cannot be avoided during repairs. The entire room is covered with a dust layer, which then needs to be removed.
After the renovated premises, I want to immediately put everything in its place and already settle down. However, this is not the end. First you need to get out. You can clean the dust if you use special means and folk methods.
