Do not want to do it all yourself, then shift your worries to the shoulders of professionals. Any cleaning company in a few hours will bring your house in a proper way. They are actually professionals, experts in their own business, in their arsenal only professional equipment and detergents. In addition, you do not have to worry about where to put all the garbage. Employees of the company will collect it and take it out.

But the cleaning company will have to pay for the services. And if the amount of work carried out is large enough, then you will part with a decent amount from your own purse. Therefore, many inhabitants decide to clean the apartment after repair.

As already 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 and the like with a single rub of rags is not removed.

Therefore, for each type of pollution will have to pick up a detergent, this must be done carefully. Mistake with selection – damage any surface. For example, remove the paint or ruin the wallpaper.

Stages of complex cleaning

Cleaning after repair is divided into several stages:

First, it will be necessary to remove garbage and building materials.
Further, deep cleaning of surfaces consisting of hard materials is carried out.
The windows and doors are being cleaned.

So, we start cleaning up the garbage after the repair. Firstly, we should note that when carrying out this type of work, it is necessary to follow the rules and requirements of safety engineering. Be sure to put on your hands protective gloves, on your feet, reliable shoes. Among the garbage there will be sharp and cutting objects. All the trash bag, and always sort it. It may be that it will contain the necessary items or tools.

At the second stage it is necessary to remove hard surfaces. This is the floor, shelves and the top areas of furniture. Please note that it is with flooring materials that there can be great problems. For example, laminate and linoleum should not be exposed to mechanical stress. They immediately formed traces of hard brushes or other solid devices. Therefore, only a rag or sponge.

But at the very beginning you need to collect dust. It is the most difficult pollution in such a process as cleaning after repair. Therefore, it must be disposed of by all available means. The best option is to use a vacuum cleaner. But if the dust in the premises is in large numbers, then this unit will not help. Therefore, a preliminary fee is recommended.

It is necessary to moisten the floor with water (there should be little water so that no stains are formed), then broom dust into lumps that are easy to assemble. After this, you need to allow time for the surface to dry out, then you can walk along it with a vacuum cleaner. Dust on the walls is collected only by the device. Particular attention should be paid to corners, slots, for this purpose it is best to use a flat nozzle.

We pass to the third stage. The difficulty of cleaning and washing windows is that it is not always possible to clean them from the outside. If your apartment, for example, is on the 13th floor, then doing all these operations will be unsafe. So in this case, the services of the cleaning company will have to be used. But from the inside to clean and wash the windows and windowsills after repair is not difficult. To do this, use detergents for glasses. Instructions for use can be found on the label.

With the doors, in principle, everything is the same. It is important to wipe the dust and clean the dirt with detergents. As practice shows, for these purposes, a normal soap solution is sufficient.

Pay special attention when you remove dust, on chandeliers, lamps, radiators and their screens. Here you have to work hard, because these objects have a complex shape, hoot dust clogs in all the cracks and corners.
