How To Make Sure Your Home Is Clean and Tidy During a Home Renovation

*This is a collaborative post on how to get your home clean and tidy during a home renovation

Home renovation can be an exciting time, but it’s also filled with lots of cleanup responsibilities to make sure that your home doesn’t look dirty and messy after the fact. The best way to deal with this is to clean and tidy your home during the renovation, but what exactly does this entail? In this post, we’ll be looking at some tips that will help you keep your home clean and fresh despite the renovation work.

Renovations are going to be messy, so why not designate a cleanup zone?

There’s no avoiding mess when it comes to renovations. One of the busiest places will be where you decide to throw any trash and rubbish away. For example, if you’re clearing out a room of old furniture, wallpaper, or even carpets, then you need some place to throw all of that away. Ideally, you don’t want to just dump it in another room.

The best solution is usually a skip hire, which is essentially just a very large and durable outdoor bin. Just keep in mind that you can’t throw everything away in a skip. There are certain limitations and it’s best to get in touch with the skip hire service first before you book a time so that they don’t charge you extra fees for items that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

Protect your home during the renovation process so there’s less cleanup later

A home renovation project can get messy, but there are plenty of ways to keep things clean and tidy even during the work. For instance, if you plan to paint a few rooms then we suggest using floor coverings and protective sheets to safeguard your furniture and belongings. There’s nothing worse than seeing splatters of paint on your furniture after the job because they’re annoying to clean and could ruin the overall look of your pieces.

Sealing off work areas can also be helpful, especially if you have children or pets in the house at the time of the renovation. For areas that are especially dusty and full of debris, you can even use a zippered dust barrier to keep things under control.

Focus on your personal habits when there’s renovation work going on in your home

It’s a good idea to focus on your personal habits during a renovation too. For instance, are you making sure that you have shoes specifically for the area being renovated? The last thing you want is to tread on dust, debris, or even paint, and then spread it around the carpets in your home because you didn’t take your shoes off.

It’s also a good idea to keep yourself clean during the renovation process. The dust and particles can be harmful, so it’s important to wash your hands regularly before eating or touching your face.

In short, keeping your home clean and tidy during a renovation requires a bit of planning and organization. But with a bit of waste management planning and protection, you can keep renovation areas relatively clean so that there’s less work to clean up later.
