Let’s get into the tips…
Start with a declutter
The best way to limit the amount of stuff you have to move around whilst you’re renovating a house? Get rid of anything you don’t need!
This is the perfect opportunity for a clear-out. Donate, sell or dispose of unwanted clutter before work begins. Plus, consider hiring a storage unit for larger items like furniture.
Create organised zones for workers
It can help to set clear expectations and boundaries for your builders and other workers. For example, you could ask them to store their equipment in an allocated space. Plus, you can request that they make an effort to remove debris and other rubbish at regular intervals to prevent the mess from piling up.
Plan for your comfort
If it’s possible, phase the work being done in your house so you can maintain some clean, quiet living spaces. Renovating a house can take months or even years, so it’s a good idea to take a room-by-room approach if it makes sense for your project.
Protect your floors and furnishings
Avoid having to deep clean everything in the house by covering floors and furnishings with plastic sheets and dust sheets. Our Petersfield home cleaning experts say you can also hang these over door entrances to temporarily seal off a space.
Clean little and often
You probably won’t have the time or energy to deep clean everything every week. Plus, it probably isn’t worth doing this until the renovation is complete. Still, in the meantime, it’s a good idea to do a quick sweep of the house at the end of each day. This will help you feel more in control of your living environment and help you keep the chaos more manageable.
