Depending on the construction phase, a distinction is made between, among others, <strong>Rough builders' clean, intermediate clean and final builders' clean.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a builders' rough clean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rough builder's cleans take place during or towards the end of the construction work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This primarily removes coarse dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These can include, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>packaging material<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardboard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wood offcuts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>coarse dust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>minor construction defects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>abandoned materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is not yet perfect cleanliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, the construction site is to become clear and walkable again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially important on larger construction projects to ensure that subsequent work is not constantly hindered by lying-around materials and mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or in other words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before thorough cleaning can take place, space must be cleared first.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an interim cleaning?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For longer construction or renovation projects, cleaning only at the very end is often not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because on construction sites, dust has a remarkable property:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>He really finds his way anywhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In door frames, on window sills, in stairwells, on already finished floors, and gladly also in rooms where work has actually long since ceased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An intermediate clean can therefore be useful to regularly reduce dirt during the construction phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes subsequent work easier and prevents dirt from being carried further through the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially during refurbishments in partially occupied buildings, an intermediate clean can be important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a builders' clean?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final builders' clean is the last major cleaning step before handover or occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it is no longer about coarse construction waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we are getting into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the property, the following areas can be cleaned, amongst others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Floors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windows and frames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doors and door frames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toilets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kitchens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixtures and fittings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cabinets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Radiator<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skirting boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Windowsills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, typical construction residue is removed, as far as this is materially possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes, for example, adhesive residue, labels, fine construction dust or other residues from the construction phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is a <strong>clean and ready-to-move-in property.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is construction dust so stubborn?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction dust is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And precisely for that reason, it spreads throughout the entire building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A surface can look clean at first glance and still be covered in a fine layer of dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction dust is particularly common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>on the door frame<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>on lasts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>on top of cupboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>on radiators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in the window rebates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>on sockets and switches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>with rough edges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why, during a builders' clean, it is not enough just to quickly vacuum through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The many small areas often make up a large part of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Material knowledge is particularly important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a construction site, many different materials come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Glass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Timber<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural stone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>porcelain stoneware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>plastic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Metal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>coated surfaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parquet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vinyl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And every material reacts differently to cleaning agents and mechanical processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A product or tool that works without any issues on a robust surface can cause damage to a delicate surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why the following applies to builders' cleans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First identify the material, then choose the method.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not the other way round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beware of glue residue and paint splatters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially after construction and renovation work, adhesive residue, labels and paint splatters are not uncommon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, care is needed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An aggressive cleaner or an unsuitable blade might well remove the stain \u2013 but in the worst case, along with the surface underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, it should first be checked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is the pollution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What surface is underneath?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which cleaning method is suitable for this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For delicate materials, a cautious test in an inconspicuous spot is always worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why a clean building site also helps the tradespeople<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Builder's cleans do not only take place right at the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even during the construction phase, order and cleanliness can make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If floors and work areas are not constantly covered in dust and leftover materials, subsequent trades can work more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, damage and defects are easier to spot on clean surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, a clean working environment is not just a matter of appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also make the processes on the construction site easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New build and conversion are not the same<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a new build, conditions are usually different than with a renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During renovations, new building components meet existing surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps only part of the building will be renovated while other areas continue to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates additional requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, dust must be contained more effectively, and existing materials must be protected and cleaned with particular care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, builders' cleans should always be tailored to the respective project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should the builders' clean be scheduled?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is best not to wait until the handover of the keys the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For larger projects, it is worth planning the cleaning into the construction schedule early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how it can be clarified:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>when which areas are completed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which trades are still working<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when windows and floors are accessible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>which surfaces are particularly sensitive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>when the property is to be handed over<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good planning prevents freshly cleaned rooms from being tracked over by dusty work boots five minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is known to happen on construction sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our cleaning bird tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the final construction cleaning, it should be clear that, <strong>which work has actually been completed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there is still drilling, sanding or sawing going on, dust will be created again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why it is worth coordinating cleaning and the construction schedule properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For larger projects, a site visit is also advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows pollution, materials, accessibility and required equipment to be assessed prior to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ensures realistic planning and prevents unnecessary surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional after-builders cleaning involves significantly more than just vacuuming and mopping the floor once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>builders' clean<\/strong> removes coarse residue and creates order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Interim clean<\/strong> reduces dirt and dust during the construction phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Builders clean<\/strong> ultimately ensures that a building site becomes a clean and ready-to-occupy building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is crucial here is not only the right equipment and cleaning agents, but above all experience and knowledge of the materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or in short:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The builders finish constructing the building \u2013 the builders' clean ensures that people are happy to enter it afterwards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Putzvogel GmbH<\/strong> undertakes builders' cleans for new builds and renovations, and
