How to quickly clean an apartment after renovation: where to start

This day has come - you have not only decided to renovate, but also brought it to fruition. A happy life in a renovated home is ahead. You can invite your family and friends over to celebrate the completion of the renovation, but of course, you should first complete the final touch - clean the place to perfection.

Cleaning experts recommend following a few consistent and simple steps to clean your home from "renovation" debris. How to quickly clean an apartment after renovation is described in the OBOZ.UA article.

Step 1

First of all, collect all the garbage: paint cans, remnants of materials and wallpaper, various packages, cans, rollers, brushes, etc. and dispose of it properly. This will instantly improve the appearance of the room.

Step 2

Now it's time to start dusting. The renovation process generates a lot of dust that settles on literally every surface. You need to wipe everything: from the surfaces on the cabinet to the floor. If you have a stretch ceiling, you will have to clean it as well. Use a vacuum cleaner, a microfiber cloth, and detergent to wipe down all furniture, countertops, and shelves.

Step 3

Now let's move on to cleaning glass surfaces. Wipe the windows and mirrors thoroughly. You can try a life hack with white vinegar. Pour water into a spray bottle and add vinegar in a 2:1 ratio. White vinegar leaves no residue, and acids will help break down all dirt and even grease stains on the glass. Alternatively, simply wipe the glass surfaces with glass cleaner and dry with a microfiber cloth.

Step 4

Finally, clean the floor. Choose a detergent depending on the type of flooring. To clean laminate and vinyl floors, you can mix water, vinegar, and alcohol in equal proportions. For wooden surfaces, take 2 cups of water, ¼ cup of vinegar, ½ teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, and 5-10 drops of essential oil.
