Post-Renovation Cleaning in Ontario

Renovations — even small ones — leave behind a surprising amount of mess. Drywall dust travels through every room via the HVAC system, adhesive residue clings to windows, paint overspray lands on fixtures, and construction debris hides in corners. A post-renovation clean is a distinct service from a regular or deep clean, and it typically takes longer and requires more effort to do properly.

What Post-Renovation Cleaning Covers

  • Drywall dust removal: Dry-wiped from all surfaces, baseboards, window sills, and HVAC vents before wet cleaning begins (wet cleaning before dusting smears dust into surfaces)
  • Window cleaning: Adhesive stickers, painter's tape residue, and paint haze removed from all glass
  • Grout haze cleaning: Common after new tile work — removed with pH-appropriate products
  • Paint overspray: Cleaned from fixtures, hardware, and adjacent surfaces
  • Floor deep clean: Construction footprints, adhesive, and protective covering residue removed
  • Cabinet interiors: Dust and debris from nearby trades wiped out

How to Book a Post-Renovation Clean in Ontario

  1. Wait until all trades are done and construction debris has been removed by the contractor
  2. Book a post-construction or deep clean (not a standard visit)
  3. Ensure power and water are connected before the cleaner arrives
  4. Book 2–3 hours of buffer time — post-reno cleans take longer than standard cleans
