Wait for trade and site clearance
Confirm dusty work is complete, access is permitted and utilities or wet finishes are ready. Keep cleaners out of restricted areas. Suspected asbestos, silica dust, chemical residue or other hazardous materials require qualified assessment and handling.
Separate ordinary cleanup from hazards
List accessible floors, glass, fixtures, cabinets and remaining ordinary debris. Do not dry sweep or use household vacuums on suspected hazardous dust. Arrange construction-waste removal and pest or mould assessment separately where needed.
Protect newly finished surfaces
Check maker guidance for timber, stone, paint, glass, coatings and appliances before wet cleaning or using chemicals. Avoid pressure, acid or abrasive methods unless appropriate for the specific finish. Cleaning does not repair damage, remove every residue or resolve moisture sources.
Plan handover and provider scope
Share property size, condition, access, remaining trades, priorities and timing. Confirm inclusions, exclusions and variation terms in writing. Final inspection, rental, occupancy or legal requirements must be checked with the responsible parties; cleaning alone does not satisfy them.
