How Do you Clean Up after a Home Renovation

Home renovation can be a lot of work. At first it’s very exciting, the remodeling of your home always is. It’s easy to think of the renovation itself as the hard part. If you find yourself celebrating as soon as you’ve finished, you might be celebrating a bit too early. The clean-up involved in renovations can be a substantial part of the total work load. This can be very repetitive and arduous work. While it’s an absolutely necessary part of the renovating process, the cleanup can seem much less rewarding than the renovations themselves. Here are some tips to help out.

Outsource It

The quickest and easiest way to get anything done is typically to hire a professional to do it. Home renovation cleanup is no exception to this rule. Wherever you are, there are surely countless junk removal companies nearby. The large number of different companies typically keeps prices at a reasonable rate through competition. These professionals are also sure to make quicker work of the clean-up than you would on your own. If you’re more pressed for time than you are for money, there’s no question that a junk removal company is the right choice.

Dumpster Rentals

If you don’t go with the professionals and decide on doing it all yourself, you might want to consider a dumpster rental. Construction dumpsters are offered for rental by various companies. They bring the dumpster to your home during your renovation and you fill it at your leisure. Once you’re finished, they come and haul it all away. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. This is one of the most efficient ways of disposing of the large amount of construction waste. Many garbage pickups in domestic areas won’t take construction waste, making this a necessity.

Take it Slow

Cleanup is often a time sensitive task. In the case of home renovations, this isn’t necessarily true. If it’s your own home and there aren’t any major safety concerns, you could take cleanup at your own pace. Instead of making it one long haul job you’d get down in a day or two, you could spread it out over a longer period of time. Start by cleaning up the dust that’s gathered in your living areas. If the larger pieces of debris are concentrated in one area that isn’t heavily trafficked, you can just leave it for awhile. Take chunks out of it at your own discretion.

Clean your Air Vents

Air vents are one part of your home that probably don’t get a lot of regular cleaning. Day to day that might not be such a big problem. After a home renovation you should always be sure to give your air vents a proper cleaning. Renovations can kick up a lot of dust depending on what specific renovations you have undertaken. This dust builds up in vents and can cause long term health problems. Just pop the cover off the vent and give it a good wipe down. Also check or replace the air filters as they are probably also saturated with dust.
