Construction dust clogs HVAC, coats glass partitions, and embeds in carpets—making Markham offices unbreathable. This 1-day checklist gets spaces client-ready.

Step 1: Dry Dust Everything

HEPA vacuum ceilings, lights, vents first. Construction dust is fine—regular vacuums spread it. Start top-down.

Step 2: Glass Partitions & Windows

Microfiber + glass cleaner (ammonia-free). Top-bottom streaks avoided. Dry with second cloth immediately.

Step 3: Carpet Deep Clean

HEPA vacuum → baking soda sprinkle (30 mins) → vacuum again. Neutral carpet shampoo high-traffic only.

Step 4: Trim, Baseboards, Door Frames

Damp magic eraser for paint splatter. White vinegar solution for greasy fingerprints. Detail corners.

Step 5: Final Air Reset

Open windows 30 mins, run HVAC fan (clean filter first). Place activated charcoal bags in corners overnight.

Common Post-Reno Mistakes

Wet cleaning first (dust turns to mud).

Missing HVAC (dust recirculates weeks).

Skipping trim (looks dirty even when floors shine).
