# Spare room after a renovation: dust and paint

> Before and after photos of a deep clean after a renovation: plaster dust, paint specks, 2 crew, 5 h on site.

## The job

The room had a new floor and two coats of paint. The decorators had swept up, but plaster dust had settled on every surface and kept coming back.

## What we did

Two people worked top to bottom: a dry dust pass with a HEPA vacuum first, then a damp pass on walls, skirting, and frames. Paint specks came off the skirting with a plastic scraper, and the new floor was vacuumed and damp-mopped twice with a neutral cleaner.

## The result

The furniture went in the same evening. A white cloth wiped on the skirting the next day came away clean.
