Post-Renovation Cleaning: How to Get Rid of Construction Dust

After work, dust gets everywhere, even inside cabinets. Here is how to deal with it in the right order.

Why this dust is different

Construction dust is fine and resettles. A quick wipe moves it around without removing it. Vacuum first, then wipe.

The steps

1. Air out the room and remove large debris
2. Vacuum ceilings, walls, fixtures and sills
3. Wipe surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth
4. Clean inside cabinets and drawers
5. Wash windows, then vacuum and wash floors last

Common mistakes

• Dry sweeping: the dust just settles again
• Starting with the floors
• Forgetting vents and cabinet tops
