However, these exciting changes bring sawdust on the floor and drywall dust in the air and also plenty of debris covering round the home. If you are planning to get through your remodel without these problems, then here are some proactive steps to follow to keep your home and its environment clean during whole remodeling process:
Stay on the path
If remodeling process is going at your inner room that is away from an entry door of your house, then it is better to build a path using carpet scraps for the areas where the contractors will be walking. This will prevent a contractor from tracking duct and sand throughout the home, while they are going from renovation area to other room in your home. Every day, after the contractor work gets finished, take off this carpet tarp and shake them off out of the duct at outside the home. This is the best method prevent the debris and mud from spreading throughout the house.
Take it out
While you plan to start your remodeling work, then remove all the things from the room or from the area which you want to remodel. If possible remove the furniture, decoration items, clothing, and all other household items and leave the renovation area as empty as possible. By doing this, you can prevent your household items becoming dusty during the renovation process. It also avoids accidental damage to household goods.
Cover it up
If you can take your household items from renovation area, then cover them with plastic. In most of the cases, you will have big items and like arimora, double cart bed and few more that you cannot get out of the room. So if you want preserve the looks of these type of items in your home, then cover them completely with plastic during a remodeling process. This will avoid dust from getting stuck into the breaks and gaps of furniture and items. This also helps finishing of the items to not to get a dull look.
Isolate the area
Keep renovation area isolated, to keep remaining areas of your home tidy. Before renovation process starts, talk to the contractor and ask him if there are any plans or methods to keep the house away from debris. Depending on the type of project, you can ask your contractor to keep plastic sheeting over the doors to seal the area. If you are planning for extensive home remodeling, you can ask the contractor to cover door frames with heavier plastic tarps.
Along with all these steps, also follow daily cleanups. Ask your contractor to clean up every night when they leave as this will help to reduce the amount of mud and debris and dirt that spreads through the house.
