Post-renovation cleaning is a different job from a weekly maid visit. It's a one-time, heavy-duty clean meant to strip out construction dust, paint splatter, cement residue, and packaging debris left behind after a reno, a new fit-out, or a move-in. Deep cleaning covers the same intensity for homes or units that haven't had a proper clean in a long time: built-up grease in kitchens, grimy grout, mouldy bathroom corners, and dust trapped in places a regular cleaner skips, like ceiling fans, window tracks, and behind appliances. Subang Jaya has 19 businesses offering this work, ranging from small two- or three-person crews to larger outfits with dedicated post-reno teams.
What the job usually covers
A proper post-renovation clean typically works top to bottom and back to front: ceilings and light fittings first, then walls and windows (including tracks and grilles), then floors last. Expect removal of paint drips, silicone smears, cement dust, and protective film or tape left by contractors. Kitchens and bathrooms get extra attention for cement haze on tiles and fixtures. Deep cleaning for an occupied home focuses more on grease, mould, upholstery, and appliance interiors (oven, fridge, exhaust hood) rather than construction debris.
What to check before booking
- Scope in writing: does the quote list rooms, tasks, and what's excluded (e.g. exterior windows above ground floor, aircon servicing, curtain washing)?
- Team size and time estimate: post-reno jobs for a typical condo unit usually need a team of 2-4 working several hours to a full day; a quote that seems too fast for the mess described is worth questioning.
- Equipment: high-reach tools for ceilings, proper glass scrapers for paint and cement spots, wet-and-dry vacuums, and eco or low-residue chemicals if anyone in the home has allergies.
- Insurance and liability: reno-stage cleaning happens around exposed fittings and new finishes, so ask what happens if something gets scratched or chipped.
- Debris removal: confirm whether leftover renovation waste (boxes, offcuts, packaging) is hauled away or left for you to bin.
