Checklist
Post-Construction Cleaning Checklist
What construction dust actually requires, and in what order.
Construction dust is fine, it resettles for days, and it travels through a whole house from one room of work. Sequence matters more than effort.
First pass — bulk
- Debris and packaging removed
- Stickers, labels and protective film removed from fixtures, windows and appliances
- Paint, adhesive and grout haze removed from hard surfaces
- Vacuum ceilings, walls, and all horizontal surfaces top-down
Second pass — detail
- All millwork, trim, baseboards and door frames
- Cabinet interiors and shelving
- Window interiors, frames and tracks
- Light fixtures, fans and switch plates
- HVAC vents and returns
- Fixtures, hardware and appliance exteriors
Final pass — after dust resettles
- Repeat horizontal surfaces — fine dust will have settled again
- Glass and mirrors, final polish
- Floors, final vacuum and mop with edge detail
- Walk the space in daylight to catch what artificial light hides
