Post-Renovation Cleaning Services

Renovations can transform your space—but they also leave behind a serious mess. Dust, debris, and fumes can settle into every corner of your home, even beyond the immediate work area. That’s why post-renovation cleaning isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Why Post-Renovation Cleaning Matters

During and after a renovation, even the most contained job site can spread fine dust throughout your home. Building materials, adhesives, sawdust, paint fumes, and airborne particles don’t just affect how your home looks—they can also impact air quality and health, especially if you have allergies or respiratory sensitivities.

Professional post-construction cleaning ensures your home is safe, comfortable, and ready to enjoy again, without lingering grime or contaminants.

Daily Dust Control During Renovation

Containing the mess as the renovation progresses helps minimise what’s left behind. Here’s how professionals manage this throughout the project:

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) Vacuums: Used by trades at the end of each workday to reduce airborne dust.
Open Windows + HEPA Air Filters: To improve ventilation and filter particles from the air.
Zoned Containment: Wherever possible, the renovation area is sealed off to limit dust travel into other parts of your home.

What’s Included in a Professional Post-Renovation Clean?

Once construction wraps up, it’s time for a deep clean to make your home livable again. Here’s what you can expect a post-renovation cleaning crew to do:

Sweep, mop, and disinfect all floors
Vacuum upholstery, cushions, and soft surfaces
Wipe down all doors, knobs, handles, skirting boards, and trims
Deep clean and sanitise bathrooms and kitchens (including appliances, cabinets, and benchtops)
Sweep and vacuum ceilings and walls
Dust and wipe down vents, ducts, lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, and blinds
Clean inside shelves, drawers, and cabinets
Remove leftover rubbish, building materials, packaging, and debris

FAQs

What does post-renovation cleaning include, and why is it different from regular house cleaning?

Post-renovation cleaning isn’t a simple affair of tidying up; it’s a specialised process to remove fine construction dust, debris, adhesive residue, and fumes left behind by materials like paint or grout. It includes tasks like HEPA vacuuming, disinfecting surfaces, removing construction waste, and deep-cleaning high-touch areas like light switches and handles.

Can I clean my home myself after a renovation, or should I hire professionals?

You can DIY post-renovation cleaning, but it’s physically demanding and time-intensive. If you’re not equipped with HEPA-grade vacuums or experience in deep-cleaning porous materials, you might miss health-critical contaminants. Professionals are trained to spot and eliminate hidden dust and chemical residues.

How long should I wait to move in after a renovation before cleaning?

Cleaning should begin immediately after the final trade has left. Dust settles fast—and continues to do so for a few days. Start with high surfaces and work down. If your HVAC was running during the renovation, cleaning vents and replacing filters should be a top priority.

What should I expect from a professional post-renovation cleaning service?

Expect a team to clean every square inch: floors, windows, walls, joinery, and appliances. They’ll vacuum with HEPA filters, wipe down cabinetry and internal shelves, remove fine dust from vents, and ensure surfaces are safe to use. A reputable service should also flag any damage caused during construction.

Is post-renovation cleaning included in my renovation contract with Nouvelle?

Post-renovation tidy-up may be included, but full post-construction cleaning is a separate, specialised service. We can organise this for you to ensure your home is move-in ready.

Contact Nouvelle to discuss adding professional post-renovation cleaning to your project.

Can post-renovation dust affect indoor air quality?

Yes, construction dust is fine enough to stay suspended in the air for days. It can irritate lungs, trigger asthma, and linger in HVAC systems. HEPA-filter vacuuming, air purifiers, and proper vent cleaning are essential to restore air quality post-reno.

Do Nouvelle’s cleaning partners use HEPA vacuums and non-toxic products?

Yes, we work with specialists trained in post-construction cleans using commercial-grade HEPA vacuums, steam cleaners, and eco-friendly products that are safe for families and pets.

Book a showroom visit to discuss your project and aftercare services with our team.

How do I prepare my home for a professional post-renovation clean?

Remove leftover tools, pack away personal items, and ensure trades have completed their final walk-through. Notify your cleaner of any delicate surfaces (e.g. honed stone, timber) and areas needing extra attention, such as new grout or cabinetry interiors.

Contact Nouvelle and we’ll help you coordinate cleaning tailored to your finishes.

Is post-renovation cleaning worth the cost?

Absolutely. You’ve invested in a new space, so don’t cut corners at the finish line. A professional clean protects your surfaces, improves indoor air quality, and saves you hours of labour. It also gives you peace of mind knowing your home is safe, sanitary, and ready to enjoy.
