HOW WOULD THE PROFESSIONALS CLEAN THE TILES?

Following installation, the surface of the tiles remain stained with grout and dust. So, before cleaning the tiles, the professionals will at first remove any unwanted object from the surface of the tiles. It may include anything - starting from a lump of grout, cement or even mortar.

The professionals offering residential construction cleaning would use a hoover to clean up all the dirt and dust. Once done they will then scrape any remaining primer or grout using a towel. While doing so they will make sure that the coating is not harmed during the cleansing. Here is a short list of things that they will use to clean the different areas of the tiles.

Glue - They will clean glue from the surface of the tiles and other unwanted areas using a cloth that is drenched in Ammonia.

Surface - They will use dilute vinegar or vegetable oil to cleanse the surface of the tiles and maximise its sheen. They would never use metal brush, but may use a steam cleaner and melamine sponge as alternatives.

HOW DO PROFESSIONALS CLEAN THE WALLS?

When it comes to cleaning the walls the professionals will after feather off the superficial dust very lightly with a fibre broom to make sure that it does not disturb the paint in any way.

Once done, they will opt for some deeper cleaning. If the walls have oil based paint that is not affected by water, they can use water mixed with a cleaning agent to clean the walls. Otherwise, based on the type of paint the walls have, professionals carrying out domestic or commercial construction cleaning will use various techniques to clean up the walls. For instance, if the walls are water based paint, the professionals will mix a cleaning agent with warm water to prepare the cleaning solution and sponge the wall very carefully using a tower, after moistening it with the solution.
