After an exciting remodel, it’s natural to want to enjoy your new space. However, the work doesn’t end once the contractors leave. Post-remodeling cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure that your home not only looks pristine, but also stays in top condition over time. At King Custom Remodeling, we understand the importance of taking care of your investment. Here are some practical tips to keep your home sparkling clean after a remodel.
- Perform a Deep Clean
Remove Dust and Debris: After a remodel, it’s common to find dust and debris everywhere. Start by sweeping and vacuuming all floors, paying special attention to corners and under furniture. Don’t forget to clean surfaces, windows, and any areas where dust has accumulated.
Surface and Appliance Cleaning: Use cleaning products appropriate for each type of surface. For example, for granite or quartz, it’s best to use mild cleaners and avoid abrasive products that can damage them.
- Maintain Key Spaces
Check Heating and Air Systems: During a remodel, you may have generated additional dust that entered your heating and air conditioning system. Change filters and, if necessary, clean ducts to ensure clean airflow.
Take Care of Your New Outdoor Spaces: If your remodel included building a patio or deck, be sure to clean them regularly. Remove leaves, dirt, and other debris to keep your outdoor space inviting and functional.
- Establish a Maintenance Schedule
Short but Frequent Checks: To avoid long-term problems, check your home regularly. Inspect critical areas such as roofs, windows, and electrical systems for possible deterioration or damage.
Maintaining Gardens and Outdoor Spaces: If your remodel included improving your garden or outdoor spaces, it’s essential to have a care plan. Trim plants and keep landscaping tidy to complement your new decor.
- Protect Your New Investments
Use Furniture and Floor Protectors: If you’ve just remodeled your home, consider using protectors on furniture and floor coverings to prevent damage. This is especially helpful if you have children or pets.
Family Training: Make sure all members of your family understand how to care for and maintain newly remodeled areas. Establish simple rules about entering and exiting newly renovated spaces.
