Post‑Construction Renovation Cleaning: Your Complete Checklist

Completing a renovation is thrilling — but before you can fully enjoy your refreshed space, you need a thorough post‑construction cleaning. Hidden dust and debris left behind by contractors can settle into carpets, vents, and every surface, diminishing your new finishes and posing health risks. Follow this step‑by‑step guide from My Happy Home to restore your space to pristine condition — fast.

Why Post‑Construction Cleaning Matters

Construction dust contains microscopic particles that embed in carpets, upholstery, vents, and on hard surfaces. If not removed promptly, this dust can trigger allergies, accelerate wear on finishes, and leave your newly renovated home looking dull. A focused cleanup restores your space’s appearance, protects health, and lets you fully enjoy the results of your renovation.

My Happy Home’s Post‑Construction Cleaning Checklist

Our proven four‑step process ensures nothing is overlooked:

Step 1: Remove Debris & Large Waste

  • Walk each room and collect leftover materials (nails, wood scraps, packaging).

  • Sort into recyclables, general waste, and hazardous items (paint cans, solvents).

  • Dispose of materials according to local regulations — avoid letting debris linger.

Step 2: Dust Management (Walls to Vents)

  1. Dry‑dust top‑to‑bottom: Use microfiber cloths on walls, ceilings, crown molding, and shelves.

  2. Vacuum soft surfaces: Use a HEPA‑filter vacuum on carpets, rugs, and upholstery.

  3. Clean air vents: Remove vent covers, wash with warm soapy water, then install fresh filters.

  4. Wipe horizontal surfaces: Finish with a damp microfiber cloth on countertops, windowsills, and baseboards.

Step 3: Deep Floor Care

  • Walk each room and collect leftover materials (nails, wood scraps, packaging).

  • Sort into recyclables, general waste, and hazardous items (paint cans, solvents).

  • Dispose of materials according to local regulations — avoid letting debris linger.

Step 4: Detail Cleaning

  • Ceiling fans & light fixtures

  • Door handles, knobs, and switch plates

  • Electronics (TV screens, keyboards)

  • Decorative items (picture frames, lampshades)
