Construction cleanup is a complicated process that often involves multiple steps and phases. Sometimes, however, particularly with small construction jobs, it is possible to complete the basic cleaning tasks yourself, and to leave the heavier and more involved jobs to your San Diego construction cleaning service.

Here are some basic construction cleaning tasks:

• Clear away large debris and stack it outside for easy removal by the cleanup crew.
• Vacuum using a commercial vacuum cleaner, starting at the top floor of the building and working your way down.
• Clean the bathrooms, i.e. the toilets, urinals, bathtubs, sinks, mirrors, and floors with a multi-purpose cleaning solution and soft, absorbent cleaning cloths.
• Wipe down door frames, ledges, stair railings, door knobs, and walls with anti-microbial cleaning wipes.
• Carefully remove stickers and manufacturer’s tags from windows and appliances using a razor blade and a specially designed solution.
• Remove drywall mud, plaster, wax, and paint leftovers from walls and floors.
• Clean the kitchen with a multi-purpose cleaner and use a stainless steal cleaner for stainless steel surfaces.

These are just some of the many tasks involved in construction cleanup. Play it safe and leave the more complicated jobs to the professionals.

A professional construction cleaning service is one that understands what is involved in the process, and can accurately guage the amount of time taht a project will take.  Companies with extensive experience can meet and exceed the expectations of even the most demanding builders.  The three main reasons to use the services of a professional cleaning company are that they are fast, they know what to do, and they know how to do it.

Once construction is completed, a contractor will naturally want to get the house or addition cleaned and turned over to the owner or listed for sale with a real estate property. Lissting a property that is sparkling clean and move-in ready is a sign of both professionalism and courtesy.

Construction sites are often covered with construction dust that can be difficult and time-consuming for non-professionals to clean and remove.  Windows must be cleaned until they gleam, appliances stripped of shipping packaging, countertops wiped down, cabinets cleaned inside and out, light fixtures dusted, and the floor vacuumed or mopped.

Most importantly, construction cleanup professionals know which products are used on each surface in order to properly clean, disinfect, and protect them. Paint spray and labels must be removed from windows without damaging the glass, non-abrasive cleaners must be used on sinks, showers, bathtubs and countertops, and the correct products must be used to properly clean wood and vinyl flooring to remove dirt and restore shine.

Window washing can be a time consuming task, but it is important to keep the windows in your office space clean, both for aesthetic and visibility purposes.  Your San Diego janitorial and maintenance service will likely include regular window cleaning as part of their routine, but in between cleaning visits, here are some window washing tips from the professionals.

First of all, it is important to start at the top of the window and work your way down. Otherwise, you will be constantly dripping cleaning solution on to the section of the window that you just cleaned.  This will lead to extra work, not to mention streaky windows.

Many professionals recommend using a vinegar-based solution, or simply vinegar mixed with water, for window washing. There are many different types of commercial window cleaning products available that are effective when used correctly, including many eco-friendly products. When in doubt, ask your San Diego cleaning service which types of cleansers they use.

Use a clean, absorbent rag and be sure to have several on hand, since reusing the same wet rag just spreads the dirt and germs to the next window, and using a rag that is too damp can also lead to streaking.  Avoid using paper towels, since these can leave tiny fibers behind once the window dries.

Regardless of the cleaning solution that you use, make sure that you fill a small plastic spray bottle with solution and spray as you go, as opposed to using a bucket filled with cleanser. There are two reasons for this. First, constantly dipping your cleaning rags and cloths into a bucket spreads germs and dirt and second, the cleaning solution will become contaminated by the dirt, water, and germs from the rags.

Follow these tips, and you will have streak-free, beautifully cleaned windows.

Construction projects, large and small, generate a lot of debris. Once the project is completed, this debris and waste material needs to be removed before the structure, addition, or other improvement can be used.  When the construction project involves demolition, there will be even more waste and debris generated, and it is crucial to remove it safely and quickly, in order to proceed with the next phase.

Hiring a San Diego construction clean-up service has many benefits, including:

Safety: A professional construction clean-up service will have the equipment, expertise, and permits necessary to remove waste and debris from your construction site.

Sanitation: What about trash and bio-waste? Removing trash can be time consuming, and removing bio-hazardous materials is something that should be left to the professionals. Even if your construction crew is skilled and experienced, it is very likely that they are not experienced in the removal of these materials, and even more likely that they wouldn’t consider this part of their job description.

Time: We’ve already mentioned that construction sites need to be cleaned and cleared of debris and salvageable building materials before they can be used. Hiring a professional San Diego construction clean-up service to take care of these tasks will save you time, and will guarantee that the job is done quickly.

One important component of construction cleanup that your San Diego construction cleanup service should include is construction window cleaning. This process is designed to remove plaster, mortar, taping mud, stickers, silicone, and other debris from glass window surfaces safely, without leaving scratches behind.

The right tools, chemicals, and cleaning products are necessary in order to achieve the desired results. For this reason, it is recommended that you hire a professional service. Trying to remove construction debris yourself can lead to not only scratches, but severe damage to the windows as well.

When you consult with a construction cleanup company, they will likely want to inspect the windows first, in order to make sure that they have the experience to do the job and to take note of any existing scratches.  You should also take before photos.

We have written many posts about the importance of regular stone and tile cleaning, because as a professional cleaning and janitorial service, we know that even the most beautiful stone and tile floors can quickly become dull, dingy, and damaged if not properly cared for.

Professional cleaning for stone and tile floors is essential, since many floors of this type require special cleaning products and methods and regular grocery-store brand cleaning agents can actually damage them.   Some floor types are more sensitive than others. Marble, for example, is very soft and porous and can become easily stained.  Slate, while not as porous and susceptible to stains, can easily become cracked and broken when exposed to water and weather elements.

Tile grouting is another important consideration.  Dirty and dingy grout can make even clean tile look dirty, but cleaning grout by hand takes time.

Regardless of the type of flooring that you have, all floors can benefit from regular professional cleaning.  Contact us today for a free professional stone and tile cleaning estimate.

The last thing that you and your employees will want to worry about is cleaning your old office space, and that is where a San Diego cleaning service that offers move out cleaning comes in.  Why is it so important to leave your old office clean?

It leaves a favorable impression of your business, your employees, and you, in the minds of the building owner.

It just makes good professional sense, and hiring a professional move out cleaning service will insure that this is a hassle-free process.

We all know the importance of regular carpet cleaning, and your San Diego cleaning service should include this as part of the normal care and maintenance of your corporate space.  It is recommended that in addition to regular spot carpet cleaning, carpets should be thoroughly and professionally cleaned at least twice a year

As with anything, when it comes to carpet cleaning, there are several different methods. The most popular method is hot water extraction, and for good reasons.  Extraction is different from steam cleaning, and instead of chemical agents, uses very hot water to remove soil and dirt from the carpet and a vacuums it away.  A water based cleaning solution is then injected into the carpet, bringing further dirt up from the pile to the surface, where it is then removed.

Without the use of harsh chemicals, the risk of triggering allergies is reduced, as is chemically contaminated water run-off.  In addition, extraction carpet cleaning does not leave any carpet cleaning product residue or odor behind.

For these reasons, and many more, it is a good idea to find a San Diego cleaning service that uses the extraction method for carpet cleaning.
