# HDB Post Renovation Cleaning Checklist Room by Room
The Hidden Dangers of Post-Renovation Dust
That ‘clean’ BTO flat you just moved into likely contains 20-30kg of residual construction material. This isn’t just dust – it’s a toxic cocktail of:
– Alkali dust (pH 11.5) from concrete
– Carcinogenic silica particles (up to 30% of residue)
– Volatile organic compounds from new flooring
Sureclean’s room-by-room HDB cleaning checklist addresses these hazards while respecting HDB’s maintenance guidelines for public housing.
Living & Dining Area Checklist
| Task | Tools Used | Time Required |
|——|————|—————|
| Ceiling cleaning | HEPA vacuum with 360° rotating head | 15-20 mins |
| Wall scrubbing | pH-neutral detergent with soft scrubber | 30 mins |
| Floor treatment | Two-bucket system with microfiber pads | 45 mins |
Kitchen Sanitization Process
1. Cabinets: Internal cleaning with food-grade disinfectant
2. Countertops: Acid treatment for cement stains (pH 2.5)
3. Sink area: Descaling with citric acid solution
Pro Tip: Clean gas pipes within 24 hours of renovation completion – delayed treatment allows corrosion that’s impossible to remove safely.
Bathroom Deep Clean
1. Toilet bowl: Hydrochloric acid treatment for limescale removal
2. Tiles: Steam cleaning at 110°C to kill mold spores
3. Drains: Manual hair removal followed by enzyme treatment
Bed Room & Storage Areas
– Wardrobe internal cleaning with UV-C light disinfection
– Mattress decontamination (HEPA + UV-C combination)
– Blind cleaning with electrostatic sprayers
Critical Common Area Tasks
1. Door frames: Wipe down with bactericidal solution
2. Light switches: Alcohol-based disinfectant wipe
3. Ventilation grilles: 20,000 RPM brush cleaning
Why DIY Fails in HDB Flats
Homeowners often:
– Use excessive water damaging HDB-standard plaster
– Apply incorrect chemicals to specialty surfaces
– Miss hidden contamination zones (e.g., behind sockets)
Our HDB-certified teams carry:
– Moisture meters (to prevent water damage)
– pH testing kits
– Color-coded cleaning cloths (to prevent cross-contamination)
