Congratulations – you’re ready to move into your new home. The movers are gone and you’re ready to start unpacking and making this house your own. But wait! There’s still one crucial step that needs to be taken care of before you can start living your best life in your new home: the post-construction clean.
What is a builders clean?
A post-construction clean is a deep clean of your new home that takes care of all the dirt, dust, and debris that has accumulated during the construction process. This is not your average house cleaning; it’s a thorough cleaning of every single nook and cranny, from top to bottom.
A Melbourne builders clean typically involves:
- Washing down of all skirting boards, walls, door frames, light fittings, and power points
- Polishing of all stainless-steel surfaces
- Cleaning of all windows (both internally and externally)
- Vacuuming and mopping of all floors
- Clearing out of all cupboards and drawers
- Cleaning and disinfecting of all bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens
- Removal of any remaining stickers or labels
Post-construction cleans are important for two main reasons: first, because no one wants to move into a dirty house; and second, because it’s much easier to clean a house before it’s furnished than it is after.
Why does the builder not do a builders clean?
You might be thinking, “Isn’t it the construction company’s job to clean up after they finish building my house?”. Unfortunately, the answer is no. The construction company’s job is to build your house; once they’re done, their responsibility ends there. It’s up to you, the homeowner, to take care of the post-construction clean.
