Window replacement can be messy, but with some strategic steps, you can stay on top of the chaos and maintain a relatively clean and organized environment. Windows and doors installation specialist Renewal by Andersen® of Kansas City provides a guide to help keep your home as tidy as possible during window replacement.
Prepare Ahead of Time
Before the window replacement begins, take the time to prepare the areas around the windows. Remove any furniture and other decorative elements from the vicinity, and use plastic sheeting or painter’s tape to seal off the work area from the rest of your home. This will help contain the dust and prevent it from spreading to other rooms.
Designate Entry and Exit Points
Coordinate with the window replacement crew to establish designated entry and exit points. This way, you minimize the tracking of dirt and debris through your home. It’s also a good idea to place mats or disposable shoe covers at these points to further reduce mess.
Clean Up Dust and Debris
Throughout the window replacement process, be sure the workers regularly clean up dust and debris using vacuums with HEPA filters or other appropriate tools. Cover or seal off heating and cooling vents in the work area to prevent dust from circulating through your home’s ventilation system. Moreover, it’s best to have designated containers or bags for waste disposal readily available. Doing so will encourage workers to dispose of debris promptly, reducing clutter and maintaining a cleaner workspace.
Once the window replacement is complete, consider hiring professional cleaners to give your home a thorough, deep cleaning. They have the expertise and equipment to eliminate any remaining dust and debris.
Maintain Clear Communication
Maintain open communication with the window replacement crew. They should keep you updated about their cleaning procedures and discuss your expectations for maintaining a clean work environment. Professional window installers should ensure that you have a smooth and mess-free window replacement.
Minimize Indoor Activities
While the window replacement is ongoing, try to minimize indoor activities that could create additional mess. Avoid DIY projects, cooking elaborate meals, or engaging in activities that generate a lot of dust or debris.
