Whether you have hired contractors to do the job or are tackling your own remodelling project, one thing that you might be worried about is containing the mess. It's easy for construction debris to spread all throughout your home when you're renovating it, but following these three tips will help you control the mess while still making changes to your home.
1. Rent a Rubbish Bin
Your renovation project will probably result in more rubbish and construction debris than you think. Instead of attempting to haul all of this garbage off yourself, consider working with a rubbish removal company and asking to have a large rubbish bin placed outside of your home, like from Magic Bins. Having this bin on your property will make it easy for you and your construction workers to clean up as you go, and you won't have to worry about making trips or figuring out how to dispose of all of the construction debris in your home.
2. Use Mats Everywhere
As you and your construction workers walk through your home, you are more likely to track dirt, sawdust and other construction-related debris throughout the house than you probably think. Consider stopping by a carpet store and asking for mats that have been made out of carpet remnants--they're generally cheap and will do the job well. Ask for more mats than you think you'll need, and distribute them all throughout your home. This will give everyone a place to clean their feet off and will make it easier for you to sweep up the mess.
3. Use Plastic Sheeting to Your Advantage
Large sheets of protective plastic can be used in multiple places during your home remodelling project. Use it to cover up doorways--this can help you contain the mess to the rooms that are being worked on and can help you protect the valuables that you have in other rooms. You can also use it to cover your floors to prevent dust, paint and more from getting on them.
Your home doesn't have to look like a complete construction zone during your remodelling project. To help keep things as neat and clean as possible while having your home renovated, follow these tips. Not only will they make clean-up a whole lot easier and faster, but they will also allow you and your family to live as normally as possible while your home is being torn apart.
