Getting a property makeover can add a nice boost to its value.<\/p>\n

Planning to give you property an overhaul? Here\u2019s how to deal with the post-renovation mess.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a general rule, your post-renovation clean-up should always start with letting in fresh air first.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re starting to clean immediately after renovation is complete, it\u2019s likely that your property will still have airborne dust.<\/p>\n

Opening the windows or switching on ventilation fans can not only help get rid of these, but also make it a lot easier to breathe.<\/p>\n

2. Vacuum then wipe down with damp cloth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once renovation works are completed, it\u2019s pretty much standard practice for interior designers to clean up.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s fairly common to find traces of construction debris around.<\/p>\n

For starters, use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum cleaner to remove dust from floors and countertops.<\/p>\n

Refrain from sweeping with a broom as doing so often kicks up a lot of dust \u2013 dust that can easily trigger an allergy.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re finished with vacuuming, remove the rest of the dirt and dust still stuck on these surfaces by wiping them with a damp cloth.<\/p>\n

Again, refrain from using dry cloth as it will kick up dust.<\/p>\n

For an optimal experience, it\u2019s highly recommended to use microfiber cloth instead of regular tablecloth.<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

While vacuuming easily works for the floor and kitchen countertops, walls and ceilings are a much tougher challenge.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s important to get rid of dust on your walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to reach them, consider tying damp cleaning cloth to the end of a pole to wipe down dust from walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Stock up on garbage bags <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taking care of dust and dirt on surfaces is just the tip of the post-renovation cleaning iceberg.<\/p>\n

Post-renovation cleaning is messy work, and it\u2019s almost guaranteed that you\u2019ll have lots of other trash to take out once you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

Before you start cleaning, it\u2019s wise to get a generous amount of thick garbage bags to dispose of them efficiently.<\/p>\n

The last thing you\u2019d want is having a pile of refuse you can\u2019t get rid of.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Thoroughly wipe down high-touch areas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last but not least, you\u2019ll also want to focus your attention on keeping high \u2013 touch areas like doors, doorknobs and appliance handles as clean as possible.<\/p>\n

High-touch areas receive lots of physical contact throughout the day.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not careful, dust trapped in these areas can easily disperse throughout your home.<\/p>\n

And if that\u2019s the case, you\u2019ll need another round of cleaning to get your property into shape.<\/p>\n
