During a remodeling project, there are many ways we can minimize mess. If you and your family will be staying within the area of construction, ask your contractors if they can clean as they go. You can also look into a post-remodeling cleaner to do general cleaning, but you may not have to if you follow these four tips:

Seal Off the Work Area

The best way to reduce dust in the air and on the floors and furniture is to seal the remodeling area with paint tarps. Seal to the best of your ability to minimize mess and the need to clean the entire home after remodeling only a portion of it. If you need an entrance and exit through the tarp, do not leave gaps. Try customizing by adding zippers on it, that way no dust can escape into the other areas of your home. Your contractors will know the best way to attach the tarps. Usually, it is done using duct tape. If possible, cover your furniture and seal off any gaps in cabinets or closets as well. This will save a lot of time cleaning couches and washing dusty dishes and clothes. You will thank yourself later if you do!

Create A Clean Path

If more than one space in your home is under renovation, have your contractors create a path where you and your family can safely pass through.

In the case of a commercial building that is under renovation, be sure that your employees know where and where not to go. Determine the high traffic areas and ensure that the path is kept safe and clear of debris. Install the necessary tarps and signs so everyone is safe when the construction is ongoing during office hours. Also, post warning signs such as wet floor, wet paint, watch for falling debris, etc. This will keep your employees safe and ensure your contractors don’t have to repeat any work.

Clean as You Go

Some contractors prefer to leave everything just as it is at the end of the workday. This way they can pick up where they left off as soon as they return the following morning. Talk with your contracting team and see if they would be willing to do a clean up after each day. Put tools away where they belong and give the floor a good sweep. This will greatly minimize mess while remodeling if you can get in the habit of doing so.

Use Air Scrubbers

To prevent the accumulation of dust, get an air scrubber for your renovation project. Air scrubbers are useful to get rid of dust, leaves, wood and other forms or tiny debris. Compared to fans, air scrubbers provide a more concentrated air flow, making cleaning and drying much faster. They are also excellent tools to use to rid your space of paint and other chemical odors. While these air scrubbers are great at keeping dust from spreading all over the house, they can be costly to rent or purchase, so keep that in mind while budgeting for your project. If you’re able to get one, you’ll be happy you did.
