Book post-renovation cleaning: from dust to tile grout
Why this is not ordinary cleaning
Construction dust is fine, settles on cupboards, in vents and on window sills, and floats up for months with every step. Paint, foam, grout and adhesive dry on tiles, glass and fittings. An ordinary cloth won't remove them. You need scrapers, professional chemicals, vacuum cleaners with filters and the experience to avoid scratches.
That is why post-renovation cleaning is priced differently from ordinary cleaning. The price depends most on the area, how dirty it is and the windows.
How to book through BlaBlaPrice
You describe the situation once on BlaBlaPrice, and you can add photos of the floor or windows to show the scale. Cleaning crews in your city reply in chat with prices, timelines and the list of work. Instead of phoning many companies, you compare ready offers.
What to put in your request
- Area — square feet or the number of rooms.
- Type of premises — a flat in a new building, a house, an office or a commercial space.
- Dirt — construction dust, paint, plaster, grout, sealant marks.
- Windows — how many, whether to clean frames and sills.
- Debris removal — whether needed, and how much (how many bags).
- Extras — removing grout from tiles and fittings, cupboards inside, appliances.
- Address or area and the date or urgency.
- Budget, if you want to state one.
Example: “Calgary, a new two-bedroom flat of about 700 sq ft. Paint and adhesive marks on the floor and windows, tiles with grout, 6 windows with frames. About 10 bags of debris to take away. By Friday, budget up to $84.”
When to book and what to prepare
Book the cleaning after all the dirty work is finished: plastering, sanding, tiling, painting the ceilings. If light fittings or furniture are still to be installed, the dust will come back and you will pay twice. Cover any furniture that is already in place with plastic sheeting beforehand.
Make sure there is water and electricity, because the crew works with a vacuum cleaner and washing. Put away fragile things and valuables.
How to compare offers
The same amount can mean a different scope: one includes cleaning grout off tiles, another the windows and frames, a third charges for debris removal separately. Make a table, even in your head: area, windows, debris, timelines, guarantee. Ask whether there is a repeat visit if stains are left after the first pass.
Providers can see where their offer stands among the others, so they compete on terms. Reviews of each crew are shown next to the offer. Don't choose the cheapest automatically: a suspiciously low price often means only a surface wash.
