3 Things You Must Know Before Starting Post Renovation Cleaning in KL

Renovating your home is exciting, but the cleaning after? Not so much. Dust everywhere, leftover debris, paint stains, and that weird sticky feeling on your floors – it’s a mess! If you’re in Kuala Lumpur and wondering how to tackle post-renovation cleaning, here are 3 important things you need to know before you start the process.

1. It’s Not Just About Sweeping the Floor

Once the renovation is done, you might think all you need to do is a quick sweep the floor, right? Think again! Post-renovation cleaning is much more than a basic clean-up. You’re dealing with construction dust, paint splatters, glue residues, and maybe even heavy-duty debris like nails or wood chips. It’s much more than what you normally clean after a regular house cleaning.

The dust settles in all sorts of places—corners, windows, and even on your light fixtures. Removing all of that can be tricky. Without the right tools and cleaning agents, it might feel like you’re just moving the mess around, not really getting rid of it.

So, What Do You Need to Do?

Instead of doing it all yourself, it’s best to hire a professional post-renovation cleaning service. If you’re in Kuala Lumpur (KL), PT CLEAN Services specializes in post-renovation clean-up and can ensure that every corner of your space is thoroughly cleaned. From dusting ceilings to tackling stubborn stains, we’ve got it covered. You can relax and enjoy your newly renovated space, while we take care of the dirty work!

2. It Can Be Time-Consuming and Physically Demanding

Post renovation cleaning isn’t something that can be done in a few hours. It requires time, effort, and patience. Whether you’re cleaning up a small home renovation or a larger project, the amount of dust and debris can be overwhelming. The cleaning process often involves multiple stages, including dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing, and even washing walls or cabinets.

Why You Should Consider Professional Help:

If you’ve never dealt with post renovation cleaning before, you might be surprised by how long it takes to get everything cleaned properly. Instead of spending your weekends (or even weeks!) trying to scrub away dust and stains, PT CLEAN Services can take care of everything quickly and efficiently. Our experienced team has cleaned over 500 renovation projects and knows exactly what it takes to bring your home back to its sparkling best.

3. The Right Cleaning Products Matter

After renovation, your home isn’t just dusty – it’s filled with fine construction particles that normal cleaning can’t remove. Regular vacuuming just spreads it around! Using the wrong cleaning products could damage surfaces like marble countertops, wooden floors, or delicate glass fixtures. Post renovation cleaning often requires specialized cleaners that are safe for new finishes and materials, as well as tools that can reach those hard-to-clean spots (think high ceilings or inside air vents).

How We Can Help:

One of the benefits of hiring PT CLEAN is that we come prepared with the right tools and cleaning solutions for the job. We use eco-friendly cleaning products, so you don’t have to worry if you have kids or pets at home. We ensure your home is safe, clean, and ready for you to enjoy.

Bonus: The Waste Disposal Rule KL Homeowners Forget

(Updated for 2024/2025 Regulations)

One of the often-overlooked parts of post-renovation cleaning is dealing with all the leftover waste. You can’t just throw tiles, wood, drywall, paint containers, or even damaged furniture into your regular trash bin.

In Kuala Lumpur, DBKL (Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur) imposes fines of up to RM500 for improper waste disposal. Similarly, in Selangor, the government has announced hefty fines of up to RM100,000 and prison time for illegal waste disposal once the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672) is fully enforced.Although the law is still in the process of being implemented, it’s important to stay aware of these upcoming regulations and potential penalties.

Key Takeaways for KL & Selangor Homeowners:

  • KL & Putrajaya: You must separate waste into recyclables and non-recyclables to avoid fines. For condos, JMBs and MCs face fines if they don’t implement waste separation at source.
  • Selangor: Individuals caught disposing of waste illegally could face fines of up to RM100,000 or even prison under the new waste management regulations.

What Should You Do?

  • Separate Your Waste – Items like tiles, wood, and chemicals require different disposal methods. It’s important to separate them before you dispose of anything.
  • Use Licensed Waste Collectors – If you have large amounts of renovation waste, consider using licensed waste management services like KDEB Waste Management to dispose of the materials properly.
  • Check Your Condo Rules – Many Kuala Lumpur and Selangor condos have strict rules regarding waste disposal, especially after a renovation. Be sure to check with your condo management to avoid fines.

By properly handling your renovation waste, not only do you avoid hefty fines, but you also help keep the environment clean and safe for everyone.

Conclusion

Post-renovation cleaning can be tricky, time-consuming, and even risky if not done right. By hiring a professional cleaning service like PT CLEAN Services, you ensure that every detail is handled efficiently and safely. Not only will you save time and energy, but you’ll also avoid potential fines for improper waste disposal. Leave the cleaning to the experts and enjoy your newly renovated space without the hassle!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Venice Hew
First time deal with PT cleaning service center for my new house post renovation, their appointment at 8am to reach my house but due to que at the guard house entrance, they did informed me abit late for 10min.

Overall I am happy with the two supervisors – Izzan and Hawa of their courtesy speaking and friendly attitude. But as per the maid, I’m noticed a few part of kitchen and back yard area are not deeply clean (e.g. windows, tiles, drawers and cabinets at the kitchen) When highlighted to the supervisor, they immediate get the job done before leave, well done 👍

Both supervisor are attention to detail and professionalism truly impress me.

Really happy with the service. I was in need of a post reno clean up ASAP to which they responded and set a booking immediately. From the start they were professional in accommodating to what needed to be done. A team of 1 supervisor and 2 cleaners arrived and finished on time. After it was done, I was pleased with the result. They got rid of the garbage and leftover debris from the renovation. Very happy and pleased. Will likely continue to use them for the future.
