Getting Rid Of Builder’s Dust

Have you ever tried having renovations done to your property? If yes, then you know how much find dust can be generated and how it gets into places that are far from the working area. You end up spending a long time trying to remove the dust. Is there a faster way to do this?

There are better ways, and you just have to follow these few rules.

Don’t sweep the dust and debris. Sweep only if there are large pieces of masonry, plaster, or other building materials. When you do, open all the windows and doors to allow maximum air flow. Do not attempt to carry out the final clean for several hours after doing this. You want to let the dust settle. Sweeping simply throws huge amounts of dust into the air which will then be gradually deposited on every available surface from ceiling to floor.

Always vacuum the dust from all surfaces such as sills and skirting, around window frames and door frames using the small attachments that are supplied with the vacuum. Upright vacuums aren’t really ideal since you might have to use ladders, but if they have long hoses, then it’s fine.

Having vacuumed thoroughly all surfaces including the vertical ones where dust is likely to gather these surfaces should then be wiped down with a damp cloth. If there are marks or stains, use a universal cleaner.

For carpets, vacuum them thoroughly while you should use a scrubber drier after vacuuming if you have hard flooring. Simply mopping alone will not remove the dust. Mopping will only wet the dust and spread it around so that it dries as ‘muddy’ streaks.

If there is floor boarding, make sure you replace the carpet after you vacuum it right away.

In case you don’t have a scrubber drier, use a mop with a large amount of water and wet vac the water. This may require two treatments to be completely successful.

If you do all these, then your property will surely be free of builder’s dust.
